Amazingly England might still not qualify. Unlikely but possible.

Yep, if Scotland spank Croatia and Czech Republic beat England by 2 goals then Wales and Scotland go through to the last 16 and England are out.

Surely England go through as one of the top 4 3rd place finishers?

Pretty sure 4 points is normally enough to go through.

16/24 teams make the playoffs, euros must be one of the most forgiving group stages in a tournament.

@cyclops 4 points and a bad goal difference and not many goals for might not be enough this time to one of the 4 3rd place teams to go through. England are not certain yet of a place in the last 16.

Only one goal so far in the Euros from a player who plays in La Liga!

Pretty clear if you ask me. I’ll leave it there.

Have you been drinking? How on earth did you interpret my comment as having “a problem with people who dedicate their lives to winning”. Either back that up or withdraw it.

Billy Gilmour has tested positive for Covid-19 so has to self-isolate for 10 days. A big blow for the Jocks.

Mason Mount and Ben Chiswell, his Chelsea team mates paying for England, hugged him on the field whistle so it's self-isolation for them too.

It's a miracle that he is the only case I've heard of so far

England OR CR are through I imagine as they only have to play each other but not both just yet surely.

I thought they just said both were through during the telecast. England definitely guaranteed to go through

Sorry I thought it was only top 2 going through. I forgot about some of the 3rd places.

@kiwimurph

I saw somewhere that after 71% of the games are played, only 31% of the teams are eliminated. As a neutral I love the drama of playoffs but it feels a bit stupid when most of the 3rd place teams make it through.

KiwiMurph

@cyclops reminds me a bit of that Cricket World Cup a few cycles back where after pool play there was whole other round of games (2 groups of 5 or something?) where very few teams got eliminated.

Not even sentimental favourites given Denmark are now the people's team. While Finland were holding Belgium, a quarter-final with Finland must have looked enticing.
