Arsy Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 See the images. Unless I am mistaken Sweden should have finished in last place, not 2nd and qualify, while Greece (myself) should have been 2nd. First criteria is results between teams. The results were Sweden - Greece 1-1, Sweden - Scotland 1-1 and Greece - Scotland 0-0. Second criteria is goal difference. Sweden has -3 while both Greece and Scotland have -1. According to these rules both Greece and Scotland should have finished above Sweden. Or have I somehow completely misinterpreted things?! Greece finishing above Scotland is correct as they have more goals scored. But Sweden should have finished in last place, thanks to the 0-3 drubbing they received from Croatia in the last match.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 5, 2023 SI Staff Share Posted June 5, 2023 If you can send that save game in then it'd be much appreciated - Presuming it is an issue then I expect its a race condition to do with there being three teams all at the same points total and probably some other oddity (however it'll need to be checked further as these rules are darn confusing at the best of times).

Arsy Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 I have uploaded the save from immediately after the game. I renamed the file "Greece.fms". Is it too late to have this bug fixed for this edition of the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsy Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Over on fmmvibe someone pointed out this article from three years ago and according to him this shows that the rankings in my group are actually correct.... Now I am confused... I am not sure that the situation in the article is identical to mine but if it is then I think the game had it right and it's not a mistake/bug. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/euro-2020-group-stages-points-24250173?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target Edit: after reading the article again on how the criteria are applied I think the rankings in the game were correct. If someone can confirm this then this whole thread can be ignored/deleted. Edited June 5, 2023 by Arsy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have the same goal difference in head-to-head matches, so b) is out despite Sweden getting the worst defeat by Croatia, so then c), Sweden score 2 goals and Greece and Scotland each only scored 1. So Sweden go through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
