That's what France, Czech Republic and Portugal said in 2004.

God if Greece wins euro the same year they destroy the Euro 8->

How did I not hear about the Villareal manager earlier? So sad, RIP.

One hell of a header save there at the end of the Czech vs Poland game, wow.

No Great Name · June 2012

so are the netherlands eliminated already or not, if first tie breaker is head to head, so they can't beat denmark, wha'ts the deal?

toxk_02 · June 2012

The Dutch are in it via a 3-way tie for 2nd in the group. If the Netherlands beat Portugal and Germany beats Denmark, NED/POR/DEN all finish at 3 points and the head-to-head is even at 1 win 1 loss between the three teams. Then it comes down to goal differential, and the Dutch would advance with a 2 goal win over Portugal (and with Germany defeating Denmark)

Joe Dizzy · June 2012

Wouldn't the goal differential change, if Denmark loses? I think NED advances if they beat Portugal with a 2 goal lead or more, and Germany defeats Denmark. Still, it's looking very grim for the Netherlands this time.

quovadis13 · June 2012

The first set of tie breaking criteria for the Euros only takes into account goal differentials involving the teams that are tied. So, in group B if Denmark, Holland and Portugal ended up at 3 points, their results vs Germany wouldnt matter at first. It's the same reason why Russia would have finished above Greece has the Czechs also finished at 4 points, but in a two way tie with Greece, they finished below them since Greece outscored them.

Joe Dizzy · June 2012

So, let's say Germany defeats Denmark 2:0 (or higher). Would the Netherlands advance with a win against Portugal? Or do they have to win by a certain margin?

AFAICT if Denmark loses by 2 goals or more, they would have a goal differential of -2. If NED defeats POR by 1 goal, they'd have the same goal differential.

projectmayhem · June 2012

Netherlands have to win by two goals and Germany has to win in order for Netherlands to advance.

Here, have a needlessly complicated table to answer your question:

Hitsuraptor · June 2012

Here this is from the UEFA website
(also explains the other groups as well)

http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/news/newsid=1818000.html#group+permutations+explained

Denmark (3) v Germany (6), Portugal (3) v Netherlands (0)

• Germany are not quite through, but will be as group winners (meaning a match against Greece in Gdansk) if they draw. They will be knocked out, though, if they lose to Denmark by any result other than a one-goal defeat in which Germany score at least two AND Portugal win.

• Denmark will progress with any win. A draw will only be good enough if Portugal lose. If Denmark lose they are out.

• Portugal will be through with victory unless Denmark win by a one-goal margin (other than 2-1 and 1-0). They will progress with a draw unless Denmark win. Portugal will also be through if they lose by a one-goal margin and Denmark are also beaten.

• The Netherlands must win by a two-goal margin and hope Denmark also lose to finish second and take on the Czech Republic in Warsaw.

Profs · June 2012

Goddamn am I excited for this Portugal-Denmark game. THERE WILL BE GOALS!!

Dehumanized · June 2012

5 minutes in and there's already been a lot of action in Denmark-Germany!

Profs · June 2012

Vandervaart!!

Haphazard · June 2012

Poldi! In his 100th game!

Tav · June 2012

Portugal Ned has been amazing end to end stuff so far.

Profs · June 2012

Wow, both teams are so ridiculously stretched. I love it.

Tav · June 2012

khron-delhi has been having an incredible tournament

Profs · June 2012

Ronaldo equalizes!!

Draeven · June 2012

so, thats that. Portugal has just looked awsome in the attack.

Profs · June 2012

Even though Ronaldo could have 3 or 4 today, he has easily been the best player on the pitch today. Has just been fun to watch.

oldmanken · June 2012

So, if Denmark score they go through at Germany's expense... I wouldn't bet against Bendtner getting that goal.

Dehumanized · June 2012

Germany/Portugal advance if results hold. 10 minutes left to play...

edit: Germany scores. Denmark is surely out, now.

Draeven · June 2012

Zeee germans score on a great breakaway counter attack! wow...

Profs · June 2012

Damn...was kind of hoping to see Die Meinschaft get knocked out.

Draeven · June 2012

I feel a 4O'clock soccer nap is in order for the Ny vs chicago game tonight! lol, loveing me a full day of soccer.

Yogo · June 2012

Good riddance, Denmark. You suck :cry: (disappointed Dane)

Haphazard · June 2012

Mannschaft.

Had an uneasy feeling for the last half hour... but all is well.
Just disappointed by the Netherlands. They are better than this!

They had the toughest group, beat the Dutch, almost got a result against Portugal, and won't be last in the group. The acquitted themselves well, and came close when nobody expected much from them. Nothing to be sad about.

Profs · June 2012

Yeah...just totally baffled by the Dutch. Having the best attacking side (on a player-by-player basis) in every game (arguably in the tournament), and they net 2 goals total...How the hell does that happen?

oldmanken · June 2012

The same problem the Dutch always have... they are a collection of individuals, not a team.

Elki · June 2012

That was fun to watch on two screens. I wish I wasn't working tomorrow; I'll have to stay in blackout mode all day until I can watch the matches.

quovadis13 · June 2012

How did Portugal not score 6 goals that game?? So many chances

Sneijder is the only one who seemed to get this and was the Netherlands best player all tournament by miles.

Tav · June 2012

I hate Ronaldo, but he really shone in that match. Unlucky for him to not get a hattrick.

Muppetman · June 2012

VdV was the only shining light in that Dutch team for me tonight - so very, very poor. I think it was probably the shock of Robben passing the ball that did it.

oldmanken · June 2012

Robben shouldn't be anywhere near that team, as he is the epitome of the selfishness that characterizes the squad.

Tav · June 2012

An Irish broadcaster just showed a really depressing interview with St Ledger talking about how soul crushing the Spain defeat was.

Now I have a sad.
