Because Portugal beat Denmark and if the Dutch win tomorrow then they will have beaten Portugal, which means the head-to-head gets thrown out since it's a triangle (assuming Germany beats Denmark to leave them all tied at 3 points). So they would have to get by on goals.

Let's hope there won't be big a setup when Greece does their Chelskios* thing.

I know. But I'd expect both organization to agree on this.

I seriously thought something similar about Poland.
But mighty congrats to Greece! I love you!

Gomez will surely be great against that defense (.......) and we might miss Badstuber if he will be awarded his second yellow vs. Denmark.

Their best defender will return from suspension for the 2nd round.
If Netherlands beat Portugal and Germany beat Denmark...
Germany - 9
Netherlands - 3
Portugal - 3
Denmark 3
Head to Head, they all beat one and lost one so its all square and thus (I think) goes to Goal Difference, which would depend on how much Netherlands wins by and Denmark loses by.

Don't worry. We have lots of Bayern players, somehow we'll end up second tomorrow.

I wonder what Eggman has to say about all of this! 
Greece were awful for the entire Group A round. But hey, we'll probably get a Germany-Greece game out of this, so that should be fun.

What´s with this anti Greece sentiment here? They won this tournament in 2004 you know.

Karagounis seems to have been given a new lease of life. The Greeks owe a huge debt to him, but I'm not sure he'll be playing against Germany as he's apparently found these games particularly taxing. He's really bailed them out though.

Hey, at least Lewandowski's/Kuba's/Piszczek's agent will stfu for a while..
(I hope)
/edit
He'll miss the game (2 yellow cards)
Sounds like Poland, they went to sleep mode in the 2nd half and lost interest.
Congrats to Greece and the Czechs.

GAF wants to see Gowlzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
It's coming mostly from fans whose team lost their first two games. Funny about that.
Be quiet! Dont wanna hear this shit ever again after what happenend on the 19th of May
Don't remind me of that date!
Anyway, I prefer Greece to Poland especially since we'll get the Spanish card-maniac as ref tomorrow.
it's how they won the tournament in 2004
But Russia / Barca already proved that the striker doesnt matter against these defensive teams.
It just sucks, 4-4-2 could be interesting against them, though. Might sound crazy but i hate this "playing around the penalty area crap." Put Özil on the LW, Gomez and Klose in the penalty area and only cross ball.criesofthepast

Not defending them, because it just piss poor sportsmanship; But, so many teams pull crap like that. It doesn't only show the lack of class from the Greeks as much as it is just football in general. I honestly don't see a sub in the 90th minute being that much classier than what the Greek player did. It's all time wasting and if the ref does his job properly it shouldn't really effect the game too much because time will be added properly. Even if it is extra-time being wasted then extra time should be added to that as well, which in most cases we do see from a ref.
This is the group stage. Bayern finished 1st in the CL, and Borussia 4th. Your argument is invalid

yep, put 30 euros on greece
Czech has 6 points though.
So?
They played like shit back then and they play even worse now. Didn't think that was even possible.
Some label them with the term "anti-football" as they look to defend stoutly rather than be at all adventurous or attack with creativity.
I hate the term. Football is football. Defending the way they do is a legitamate tactic and just look at the group table now - sometimes it does the job.

It sucks that they're out but Piszczek looked kind of tired at the Euro, maybe we benefit from it... For Lewandowski, well, wouldn't surprise me if his agent tells that the team was too bad for Lewy. Although there's some truth in it.
Euro 2004? I thought that championship was cancelled...
Czechs have 6 points (Beat Greece and Poland).
It's because it would be a 3-way tie and Portugal beat Denmark, Holland beat Portugal. No way to resolve that (thanks Portugal!) So we need to compare goals.
Edit: beaten, of course

We are?! Yessssss.
Well, him handing out cards like crazy was kind of entertaining in a "I can't believe he's really doing this" way.
Czech has 6

Not sure why everybody is assuming Germany is already through. They'll put Russia to shame.

Lucky motherfucker. I want to put some money on a game tomorrow.
You're probably the only one. I should've seen it coming, I even said to a friend that Russia will most likely get punished for being happy with a draw against poland. Serves these idiots right.

You need someone up front who's able to play football vs. those teams. That's why Spain used Fabregas vs. Italy.But Russia / Barca already proved that the striker doesnt matter against these defensive teams.
------------Reus-----------
Özil------Kroos-------Götze
would probably be the best possible formation (if they were used to each other and there was no hierarchy in the team, etc.)
/having said that Klose would obviously be better than Gomez for that match, but we'll see.
