Obsessed, much?

 

[Elvin]

what a wannabe

 

[Völler]

Not for Denmark though. It will be hard for them to come back.

I hope a win for Denmark, it will be more exciting

Indeed a win will be more exciting, but I just can't see it happening! I don't think we can win the group. I'm just aiming for the second place now.

How many hours?

8 hours and 41 minutes.

:sergoi:

Such an annoying cunt.

That awkward moment when Johnny Depp looks better at 50 when you do at 25, Pablo.

Yup maybe that is more realistic.

It will be very difficult for Denmark further on in this tournament getting that 2nd place if they don't get any result here.

That's true, but the more important matches are the games against Bulgaria and Czech Republic. I can see us getting the second place even if we lose tonight, but I can't see us getting the second place if we don't get at least 4 points in the two remaining games against Czech and Bulgaria.

But imagine Czech win today and Denmark lose, then they'll be at 7p and us at 2p. It will be very difficult to claim that second place then.

But I hope you're right

Indeed, but if we manage to win away against Czech and they lose against Italy away (like us), then we're in a good position again. It's gonna be tough, but not impossible.

Let's hope so :xfinger:

Is the rule where the best second place Nation qualifies directly still in charge?

No it isn't. Actually it's the opposite right now. The worst second place nation won't get a play-off match. It's fucking crazy if you ask me.

Ok, thanks.

Apparently it isn't the first time as last WC had same format. Can't remember though

Bendtner to score against Di Sanctis tonight

The playoffs itselves sometimes (and most of the time) are more interesting then the rest of the group matches, so no wonder such formats are used.

That actually would be sweet.

Don't get me wrong, I like play-offs. I just hate the fact that the worst second place nation doesn't get a play-off match. That's a bit unfair I think.

This group is no joke for Italy. Better get points now because the final run is some tough games.
