jailender Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 There's no way that there will be anywhere nearly full stadia in June, probably no fans at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but we need to stay positive; otherwise there's nothing to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Even ignoring covid, things may have changed a bit since '98. (I wasn't there, so willing to hear more.) Anyway, don't worry, I'm sure Uefa are encouraging fan zones in many cities. Probably get a cut too. OK, scrub that. I remember the Euros in Poland and (Gdansk) hotel price was 25x or 50x what we paid for same room for a qualifier (in Lithuania granted), so booking to those could be expensive. ...I'm not even thinking about the airlines R, as you probably are.

Rich NATA Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 I don't understand why there are so many possible destinations if we proceed. With 5 options (Bilbao/Budapest/Copenhagen/Dublin/Glasgow) showing on that link if we finish 3rd in our group; might it be a case of - as a host nation - UEFA will allocate us Hampden?

scottincarlisle Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 This idea for 2020 did not cater for supporters who travel to games. To be honest even in a 1 or 2 country tournament you can only see the possible paths a team can take but on a smaller scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish as one of the top 4 3rd placed teams, who we play will be entirely dependent on which other groups the 3 other teams have came from. It's all been mapped out so they won't just allocate us Hampden. For us to play at Hampden and play (presumably) Spain then the best third placed teams would have to come from Groups A, D, E & F or Groups B, D, E & F or Groups C, D, E & F. Wikipedia has a chart that you can see the different permutations. Essentially though we probably won't really know where the 3rd place team in our group is playing until most if not all the group games are finished. It's one of the problems with having a 24 team tournament and having some but not all 3rd place teams qualifying and trying to ensure that no teams from the same group end up playing each other in the first knockout round.

ironbrew Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 If we`re one of best 3rds will we not definitely play last 16 in Budapest? Alphabetical order group D before E or F. Or how could we be in Seville (Group A doesn`t qualify?) or Glasgow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play in Glasgow the best 3rd place teams would have to be made up of the groups noted above. To play in Seville they would need to come from Groups A, B, D & E or A, B D & F. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020_knockout_phase Table on this link shows all the permutations.

The fact groups E and F play last usually means the 3rd placed teams know what they require to qualify and historically they tend to make it. In which case if there's a 3rd place qualifier from our group I'd say there's a good chance they'll play at Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a 'better' 3rd place finisher determines who you play and where you play in the second round. But it does not impact actually qualifying for the knockout stages.

kumnio Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Could finish third with a solitary point, or bottom with three points, depending on other results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Could finish top or anywhere down to bottom on 4 points as well. If every team had one win, draw and defeat, everyone would have 4 points, and goal difference and more would come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two teams went through with three points last year and I suspect it will be similar this year. If we get 4 points and finish bottom of our group on GD I’m giving up.

exile Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Switzerland go through against an over-rated France. Well deserved, from what I saw, they fought for every ball. Nice to see some upsets finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
