If Denmark beat Russia and Finland lose to Belgium, who the fuck ends up where. Russia, Finland and Denmark will all be on three points (great for us), but Finland beat Denmark, Russia beat Finland and then Denmark beat Russia😳. Hows that head to head worked out?!? It would go down to goal difference from the games involving the three teams rather than head to heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 My one worry here is if Ukraine force an equaliser both sides will then settle for the draw. Austria spurning great chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 This game has 1-1 written all over it. Austria should have scored at least three of those chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Austria the much better side there. 1-0 up at half-time but should have been more. Gradually, the longer they are 1-0 up the more they'll settle for 1-0 and start playing deeper and deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those taking the field of play of course you have to be positive and believe you can win, for whatever reason, because you beat them before, because your side is on the up, because you have home advantage. But as fans working out our chances based on permutations of other teams' scores, it's reasonable to be analytic about it, and add the probability of Scotland winning as one of the variables. If we're (say) twice as likely to go through with a 2-0 compared to 1-0, due to other group results, it's reasonable also to consider that we could be half as likely to actually win 2-0 as 1-0...
