Great goal.

Gutted thinking that one day he’s going to have to retire.

...so, i’m presuming a 2-1 Reds win and a PSG draw would see Napoli and PSG through.

Yes I think so

There's blatant, and there is - - -

If it was 2-1 then both teams will have scored 2 goals for rule 3, it’d go to rule 4 and Napoli would win on away goals. You’re right about the 1-0 though

Correct of course. You really need a maths degree to work it out properly.

I think this is the criteria so it looks like you are right:

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Away goals scored in all group matches;
8. Wins in all group matches;
9. Away wins in all group matches;
10. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
11. UEFA club coefficient.

If the goal difference is the same in the head to head between two teams, surely the goals scored will be the same? Haha

Or is this trying to describe a 3-way head to head.

...the bookies are starting to price up the ‘to qualify’ market. Interestingly, Sky Bet have Napoli as slight favourites to go through;

Napoli 8/11
Liverpool 10/11

What are Spurs' odds?

What are Spurs' odds?

..Spurs 7/4, Inter Milan 5/11. Bit stingy, but I suppose they’re worried Barcelona will put out a reserve team.

I'm sure they will. Already through as group winners. No brainer really.

They would yes so the first part of that was wrong.

End result is 1-0 = RS go through, and 2-1 = Napoli go through on away goals.

They'll draw lots instead and nobody will have needed to bother.

On people saying the agreed hand off hasn't happened before, isn't that exactly what happened with Venables and Hoddle with England?

Venables was only ever coming in for Euro 96

That was a reasonably smooth hand over wasn't it, so why are the Irish worried this one won't be?

 

[gonetomorrow]

Neat goal by Giroud in Europa League. I notice Funes Mori is playing for Villareal in Glasgow.

 

[Brisan123]

DISSAPOINTED Salah didn't end up with 2 broken legs in that challenge lollol

Fixed

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Interesting game now Rangers are down to ten men

A draw isn't really enough here, so they'll probably have to go for it
