Re: OT: Euro04
*Crosses fingers* Croatia is leading to France for now, so perhaps my mad prevision will come to reality. Switerzland would need to win against France, and England against Croatia, and then France would not make it to the next stage of the competition.
What's the word for it? Oh yes, wishful thinking. But I may dream, can't I?
Edit: And add "Croatia has still to win against France" to the list.

Re: OT: Euro04
Indeed, hence my edit. Though I guess I am responsible, as France scores only when I am writing they are losing, and not before. (Sadly it happened as well in a certain other game against England. *Sighs* It hurts quite a lot when you leave with England leading, and comes back a few minutes later to see you have just lost the game. ) |

Re: OT: Euro04
Great Game!
Croatia nearly would have beaten France! If that Last shot on the goal from the croatians...nah...nevermind, a relative slow match, but lots of goals :-)
France still can be kicked out by Suisse (even if they need to win with at least...hmm...3 goals?!)
That would be weird...

Re: OT: Euro04
Switzerland needs to win with four more goals than France to manage to get through. How likely is it? Not quite I would wager.
Intimidator, I happen to be for England, and so I would rather see France gone from the competition. Alas, they managed to get a draw against Croatia, meaning they will get through. (Unless something really, really weird happens against Switzerland that is) |

Only if England draw with Chroatia and three teams have 4 points. If England win or lose, Swiss go through regardless of the margin of the victory.
Thus, Swiss can win 1:0 and qualify or win 3:0 and still fail. Bizzare
