Feels like Spain are just playing for the draw. *Please don't Gaf curse*

 

[MetatronM]

Man, I want Croatia and Spain to go through. Just one goal, Croatia! That's all you need!

 

[ShogunX]

How exactly are Italy going through over Croatia? They drew their game and If everything stays the same then Croatia have a better goal difference.

 

[Cosmozone]

Spanish corners become more and more like German ones.

 

[criesofthepast]

Buffon needs to starch his collar. Give it more pop.

Wtf ref you gave Buffon a yellow?!? Blasphemy.

 

[leroidys]

Croatia has been great this second half especially. Too bad they probably won't be going through.

This is why I tell people that Buffon needs to shut the fuck up!

Interesting, it looks like Italy are through even if they only win 1-0.. I would have thought they'd need to win 2-0 to have equal GD to Croatia but it looks like it goes to coefficient instead after H2H.

• Spain have the simplest task – a draw ensures qualification, a win ensures first place. If Spain draw 1-1 and Italy win 4-0, Spain would finish first ahead of Italy on coefficient.

• Croatia will definitely qualify, as group winners, with victory. They will also be through with any draw other than 0-0 or 1-1. If their game is 0-0 and Italy win, Croatia are out. In the case of a 1-1 draw, they will only be through if Italy do not beat Ireland by 3-1 or better. If it is 1-1 and Italy win exactly 3-1, the Azzurri will be second on coefficient. Croatia can afford to lose if Italy do not win.

• Italy have to win and hope the other game does not finish in a high-scoring draw of 2-2 or more. If the other game finishes 1-1 they must win by 3-1 or better to finish above Croatia or better than 4-0 to top the group. If the other game finishes 0-0, an Italy win would take them through as group winners.

• Republic of Ireland are out but will finish third with a win.

Coefficients for exact ties on head-to-head, goal difference & goals scored (see ** below)...
Spain 43.116
Italy 34.357
Croatia 33.003

So Italy will actually win the group if the results hold.

 

[Dark Schala]

Oh Buffon...

 

[Sickboy007]

Didnt't you see?! *booked*

 

[SamuraiX-]

I feel a Spain goal coming ever since Fabrigas checked in...

 

[criesofthepast]

Italy need to be careful here with these fouls. Mario please don't fuck up.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Shoot damnit!

They're drowning themselves in passes.

 

[flake]

Balo mode initiated!

 

[Arjen]

Lots of show, no results. Classic, salty Dutch.

How original

Same...

 

[hylje]

Cro-Esp become such a stalemate that I've been watching mostly Pirlo so far.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Cute girl smiling ..

 

[Sickboy007]

Why do we have to suffer so much...

 

[criesofthepast]

Ireland to get a late lucky goal.

 

[panty]

Why don't you shoot fucker?!

 

[hylje]

Fabregas froze.

 

[Arjen]

Djeez, cesc, how much time do you need

 

[Ushojax]

lol Fabregas

They want to walk it in. Such arrogant football.

 

[Dark Schala]

Augh, Fabregas...

 

[Amibguous Cad]

ESPN keeps saying that Ccroatia doesn't go through if results hold, but I can't figure out why. All of the top 3 teams in the group drew against each other, so their head to head is the same, and Croatia leads on GD. What's going on?

 

[Verano]

Why don't you shoot fucker?!

no quiero

 

[Charles]

Shoulder to shoulder is a foul now?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Broder Salsa]

Damn Buffon.

[SamuraiX-]

Croatia plays so much more entertaining football than Italy.

Really hope they can make the next round.

 

[Sickboy007]

Balotelli what a fucking idiot.

 

[Nevasleep]

Total football.
