Will all the games be on Eurosport?

The Germany game is on Eurosport on Wednesday, thought I read the game on Sunday will be online

UEFA are experimenting with a new 'ABBA' penalty system for this tournament, along with the women's version, assuming the need arises obviously. The order in which the kicks will be taken will be very similar to a tie break in tennis.

Although it only mentions the new format being trailed in the women's competition on UEFA.com, various other websites indicate it will be in place for the men's also.

The trial system will work as follows:

• 1st kick: Team A – 2nd kick: Team B
• 3rd kick: Team B – 4th kick: Team A
• 5th kick: Team A – 6th kick: Team B
• 7th kick: Team B – 8th kick: Team A
• 9th kick: Team A – 10th kick: Team B

In the case of equality

• 11th kick: Team B – 12th kick: Team A

If still equal

• 13th kick: Team A – 14th kick: Team B

and so on …

Mamma Mia that sounds good. Could be a Waterloo moment for European football, in any case whichever they use the winner will take it all.

Good luck to the lads today.

Connolly on at half time, denied a penalty.

Lively again from Connolly, clips the outside of the post.
67mins gone

Goal Serbia, ****e

All over, uphill battle now Geoff.

[DeLorean]

They haven't scored yet on my Mobdro app!

Edit- they have now. Very good header in fairness after Connolly let him go. We were looking very comfortable and the more likely too from what I had seen.

Gave away an indirect free kick for picking up a back pass in the build up to the corner (from which the goal was scored) so a bit of a shambolic series of events.

[DeLorean]

Germany beat Serbia 3-1 earlier. We kick off against Bosnia-Herzegovina at 15:30. Don't think it's televised.

[tetsujin1979]

Think it's on eurosport.com

[DeLorean]

I read somewhere that it's on the Eurosport Player App too, need a subscription for that though. €6.99/month.

Early goal for Roache. 1-0 Ireland.

Early equaliser too. 1-1

[DeLorean]

Back in front, Uche Idah penalty.

I note from the as it stands table that head-to-heads supercede GD, that's not good.

Finished 2-1

Germany 6pts +7 (+1max if 3 teams finish on 6)
Serbia 3pts -1 (-1def if 3 teams finish on 6, 0max if 3 teams finish on 3)
Ireland 3pts 0 (0min if 3 teams finish on 6, 0def if 3 teams finish on 3)
Bosnia 0pts -6 (0min if 3 teams finish on 3)

If we beat Germany we go through by my calculations. Or Bosnia 1-0 regardless of our result against Germany.
Serbia win means we have to beat Germany(win by 2 puts us top)
Serbia draw means we have to beat Germany and will finish top.
Serbia 1-0 loss qualifies us on H2H v Bosnia, 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 or a loss by more than 1 goal, would mean we need a least a point against Germany Complicated)
Germany aren't mathematically qualified either so won't be playing 2nd string I imagine.

Source:

If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points on completion of the
group matches, the following criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine
the rankings:
a. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the
teams in question;
16
II – Competition System
b. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in
question;
c. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams
in question;
d. if, after having applied criteria a) to c), teams still have an equal ranking,
criteria a) to c) are reapplied exclusively to the group matches between the
teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not
lead to a decision, criteria e) to i) apply;
e. superior goal difference in all group matches;
f. higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
g. lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received in
all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for
two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
h. higher position in the coefficient ranking list used for the qualifying round
draw;
i. drawing of lots.

Finished 2-1. Hopefully Germany will rest a few against us and B&H take something off their old foes!
