Yeah I agree but sadly they have had this formula for a long time and stick to it.

Actually no. Euro 2004 used the setup I described, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible that Portugal and Greece could both reach the final. Remember, they played in the same group.

Yeah you are right i forgot about that but hey used this formula before that tournament for a long time and I don´t know what made them go back again.

They talked about the situation i group A on televison and the rules expert that they asked said that if the game Check - Turkey ends in a draw they have the same performance result so the winner will be drawn, it seems they didn´t change the rules after all.

Rol, I think changing your nationality is way more newsworthy than getting an avatar (technically speaking I didn't have an avatar, so it is debatable whether I changed my avatar like you stated).

About the new setup, I'm not a fan of it either. I really prefer the idea that every team can meet every other team in the final instead of the draw making this decision.

Since there seems to be some confusion about the rules, here is a link to the official document from:

http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/19079.pdf

Articles 7.07 and 7.08 seem to be important for the group stages.

Can´t you just copy and paste the info on here?

It doesn't let me copy paste the info, but that wasn't the reason anyway. I just added the whole document in case some other question about the rules arise later on.

Looks like Germany will follow Portugal today....but can Austria grab a draw and keep themselves in the tournament longer than the Swiss, or will they just lose like normal....im not even gonna end that sentence with a question mark because yes, they will lose



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

What's up with that nonsense? Are people seriously predicting that Austria will lose today? That's sick and wrong.

Some would call them realistic...
