Talk:UEFA Euro 2008 Group A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi! Portugal have not yet qualified for the quarterfinals. If Switzerland win against Turkey and later against Portugal, and the Czech Republic win against Turkey in the last match all of those three (SUI, CZE, POR) will have six points. The results among those three would be one win and one loss each, so it would count on goal difference which makes the statement that Portugal have already qualified impossible. --91.23.208.183 (talk) 18:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC) corrected--91.23.208.183 (talk) 18:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, the tiebreaker is head to head results, and POR has beat SUI and CZE. - ElbridgeGerry t c block 20:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- How could Portugal have beaten SUI without playing them?... He was correct in his scenario, though it did not come true ← chandler 20:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Portugal won against Switzerland by precognitive feed-forward deja vú, as should be obvious to those knowledgeable of current FIFA and UEFA Rules of Play and directives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.180.80.53 (talk) 00:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- It might be that I'm stupid, but I somehow don't understand why Portugal are group winners already. What if the Swiss beat them? What in the world is "precognitive feed-forward deja vu"? 80.123.210.172 (talk) 11:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The first tie breaker for teams tied on points is head-to-head results. Since Portugal already beat both of the teams that could potentially equal their points total (Czech Republic and Turkey), they would be ahead of both those teams, regardless of which one won the match between them. – PeeJay 11:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Now it makes sense, thank you. I forgot about the head-to-head. 80.123.210.172 (talk) 13:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CZE-TUR: penalty shootout?
I have heard in Czech TV yesterday that other criterium is going to be used in the case of the draw. They were talking something about point from pre-championship qualifying groups... anybody able to check this? --Ruziklan (talk) 06:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
