CFuller Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Sorry, Luka. Think this will be a typically Southgate-y 1-0 win for England to secure top spot and avoid the Germans. The other match will naturally be much more feisty and exciting. Going for Denmark to edge it and set up a date with the hosts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Pukey said: @Rob1981 Just tell us what we want, we're all confused These are the combinations of groups that can still provide the third place teams: So if we don't want to face Netherlands, we need to swerve that top scenario. ADEF would suit us... then we probably play Turkey or Czech Republic or Georgia. And if we pummel Slovenia by a big score, then Slovenia MIGHT end up in 3rd and with a worse GD record than Croatia... therefore C3 would be unable to get through and ADEF becomes the next most likely combination of groups providing third place teams. But it isn't just down to our game... for Slovenia to get smashed by England but still stay 3rd in the group then Denmark would also need to win.

Obviously they'll defend all game long, but I don't expect them to just hoof it out of their box and hope for the best when out of possession. They played a good game against Denmark.

WHAT SCORE DO WE WANT I THINK A 4-0 ENGLAND WIN WOULD BE GOOD If Slovenia finish 3rd with a horrible GD then the Group C 3rd place team probably goes out. Then England probably play a Group E or Group F team and not Netherlands. But a big England win still doesn't guarantee this happens... not if we don't also get the right result in the Serbia-Denmark game. I don't know why someone was saying a 1-0 England win would be good but a 3-0 England win would be bad. But maybe I'm missing something.
