[Yas786]

LOL Russia in danger of going out if they don't score against Greece or beat them :/

 

[Cosimo]

Lol Russia out of it at the moment.

Why is head to head used before goal difference?

I would have assumed it went GD, scored, conceded, head to head in order of preference

Ufea following the champions league format

Surely head-to-head is the better way of determining which is the better team.

Head to head when 2 teams are tied. 3 or more and you get a mini league. Thats why russia fell behind greece with no change in this game.

Well the russians beat a team the greeks didn't ? so in one game yes but over the course of 3 no.

Russia will be kicking themselves if they don't qualify.

 

[qqg3]

Head to head seems unfair, Russia out despite performing second best (based on GD after points). What an odd rule!

Russia will be kicking themselves if they don't qualify.

Or everyone else.

Well yeah, I completely agree in an isolated comparison, i'm just wondering why it's done like that here but not in other circumstances, seems odd to use it in some circumstances but not others.

Poles beginning to look like they need a miracle.

Indeed, Russia beat Czech, Check beat Greece, Greece beats Russia - looks like a tie go to GD to determine who goes through.

Appears to be a BS rule for Russia to get kicked out.

 

[Robbo]

Poles beginning to look like they need a miracle.

They've been absolutely dire and deserve nothing to be honest.

 

[Yas786]

Russia running out of ideas now...

 

[sunnysingh]

Can't see Russia cracking this Greek defence.

 

[Greavesy]

Can't see Russia cracking this Greek defence.

You mean the wall....
