Still two places to be filled before I rank players and make the draw.
One place left. Come on, I want to make the draw tonight.

If nobody else shows up - how bout divying Latvia up between the 3 "better" players (who should at least make sure the the games get played) - i.e. one group game each.
Alternatively, if you're REALLY struggling I could take two teams as I'm off all next week :shrug:

Group B looks to be the group of death to me.
I reckon Smiller could be the one to watch with Bulgaria. I played with them in the world cup & they're not a bad side.
MrSpoons with holland could be worth an eachway bet as well.
France :clap:
Back of the net :doh: Not that'll make much difference like ;)

It's ok everyone, Stevie's jinxed me again :D
Had a few goes with them and individually they don't look too good but not a bad side, strong in tackles which suits me!
I'll be busy Mon/Tues lads but might be about, but then got rest of the week off so I'll be free most of the time.

Group A Result
Portugal 1 - 1 Greece
I was gutted when you equalized in the 92min. That said you deserved it, you dominated the 2nd half and had a goal disallowed so consider myself quite fortunate.
Really, sorry I lost connection on your home fixture, I rebooted router, when I tried to accept your 2nd invite it failed and saw you had gone offline.
I'm happy to replay fixture tomorrow, and start with you leading 1-0.
Let me know when you will be on mate.

ianmb All I can say is WOW! 2 fantastic games which had everything.
Dissallowed Goals, Own Goals, missed penalties etc.
I had so much fun I have forgotten the exact scoreline :eek: I remember us getting a share of the spoils with 3points each but forgot the scores.
Great Games mate, and I was sweating like I had played 90mins by the final whistle.

These games were absolutely crazy. In the second game I had 55% of the possession but you had 17 shots at goal. My own goal was pure class and I had to substitute the keeper eventually. Add in a missed penalty and a own goal from you and the games had everything.
The results were:
Portugal 3 -1 Spain
Spain 2 - 1 Portugal

Gas / No Flipping / Mr Spoons
anybody available after 9.30pm tonight?
Latvia 1 Czech 1
Czech 0 Latvia 1
Oh yes :clap:
After the home game where I had 9 shots on target and missed three clear one on ones and you scored with about 8mins to go I thought this is the way it's gonna be with the Latvians (to be fair you could've scored 4 in this game).
But the away game was the opposite, few chances and a bit of Latvian magic :thumbs:

I was so gutted at losing that first game :mad: I was already gutted by the fact that you were going to nick a draw never mind you getting a last minute winner.
Made up for it in the second and hopefully the first won't cost me.

If it wasn't for two defensive mistakes, I could have nicked a draw in the second game as well ;) I'm over the moon with that win. :clap:
Joking aside, well done mate,don't be too mad, you'll go a lot further in this competition than I will :thumbs:
Thanks for the games :)

Sweden 0 - 2 Denmark
Denmark 2 - 1 Sweden
Thanks for replaying the earlier match, the connection was much better second time around.
2 (or should I say 3 or 4!) good games, the second could have gone either way and it was very realistic the way you broke away and scored the winner while I was still claiming the penalty. Well played and thanks for the games. :thumbs:

Group A Results
Russia 1 - 1 Portugal

2 very very close games, the ball spent most of the time in midfield and could have gone either way, and I was very fortunate to walk away with 4 points.
However I was dumped out of the last cup in round 1 thanks to Slocombe so must admit that revenge has never tasted sweeter :lol:
Seriously though, your a top bloke and always enjoy the crack when we get to play our games. :notworthy

Yeah croatia cannot pass water. Everything in the first game went wrong and i was just so frustrated.
The second game was better and once again you get a shot right at the end that sneaks in. I deserved a draw at least.
Holland 1 Latvia 0
Latvia 0 Holland 2
First game, thought I had done everything to escape with a point but deep deep into injury time.... oh what a cruel game :mad:
Was deflated after that, and the home game had no chances.

The first game was 4-2, wasn't it? I can't remember. Not that it really matters, anyway. The second was a 'ding-dong battle between the two teams', as Peter Bracknel would say. I would've won if not for your cynical, 'hack people down when they're through on goal' approach :lol:

Definitely 3-1 :thumbs: I had to do it. I was getting so frustrated as I was having to play my way up the field and wait for the perfect moment to release the ball whereas you only needed to put it anywhere near owen and rooney and they latched on to it and were through.
If you noticed though I only made "challenges" when i could see an extra defender around so I wouldn't get sent off ;)

I hate Russia. In all 6 games I have had chances but have ended with only 4 points. Defence is Keystone Kops like (IanMB's 2nd goal in our first game) and the strikers wear 50p shaped boots that give shots at crazy angles :brickwall :razz: :cuckoo: :cry: (and any other icons that fit my mood :cry: )
Of course, their performances were nothing at all to do with me ;)

Mr Spoons and Zboniek when are you around for our matches lads - need to play before 9.30 most week nights
Are you or jelly around now?
Sorry! I should be on around 9 - can you make it?
Searla - excellent games :thumbs: I love playing as England, certainly a nice break after a season with PSV. Rooney got a great hat-trick in the first game, and we were on fire, but the second was a bit iffy. We held on, though!
Aye, Rooney the little bugger, couldn't get the ball off him;) Enjoyed the games, you derserved the wins mate.
I was hoping to get on now Sheepking, but it'll be more like 9-9:30pm if you can make it mate??

Good games mate, dissapointed to lose the first after going 1 up, the second was close but managed to connect with a few crosses/dead balls.
Cheers :thumbs:

Two really close game mate, you deserved something out of the first game at very least. Especially with the penalty save :eek:
Saying that, I'm over the moon, can't remember the last time I won two in a row.
Thanks a lot :thumbs:

Sheepking - couple of tight games. I thouught you played well, actually. Defensively, at least. But, god, I was so annoyed when you got that late equaliser in the first game... I should have had more goals, really.

hi really sorry- I'm afraid I have a problem!!! Looks like I need a new wire the light on my router that I'm using to connect to my xbox is not on - it appears I need a new wire - can try to get one tomorrow - any idea where I can get one and what I ask for? SOrry I bought my original a long time ago.
Sorry Mr Spoons I won't be able to play our match tonight either - been trying to set it up for last half hour.
Ianmb - am I ok to continue? - I realise that today was the deadline for completion of the first phase - will try to get sorted tomrrow if I know what to ask for!!

Are you using an ADSL router? Or just a router with ADSL (or cable) modem into it? If the latter, you could plug your Xbox straight into the modem?
Might need to fiddle with the Xbox network settings if it doesn't work though.

Let's try and get the group games finished by tomorrow night. Could maybe extend another night if you are having major problems with your router.
Group A - myself and Grateful Ghoul are waiting for Gunn0r. If Gunn0r does not make an effort to arrange the games by tomorrow night then his fixtures will become void and the top two teams of the three remaining will progress to the next round.
Group B - England and Switzerland qualify for the next round
Group C - Denmark and Bulgaria qualify for the next round
Group D - No Flipping to play games against Mr Spoons and Zboniek. If this is not possible then I'll apply the same rules as per group A.
Tables updated as well - let me know if anyone spots any mistakes.

Gunn0r Sorry I declined invite on Friday, but I was playing my final league games and not seen you online since. When is the best time for you to play my final group game?
Do you want to play IanMB first and me straight afterwards to ensure a exciting finish to the group?
Let me know mate, I will keep an eye on the forum for your post :thumbs:
Group A results:
Spain 1 - 4 Greece
Greece 1 - 0 Spain
Ballz!
Grateful Ghoul and Gunn0r have the final game to play.
Group A Result
Spain (Ianmb) 1 - 4 (gunner) Greece
Greece 1 - 0 Spain
First game flattered me a bit. For some reason my Greek leppers actually scored some good finishes as opposed to headers and drag backs. You could have had a few, but my keeper was on Fire.
Second games made my thumbs hurt, such was the tension, managed to grab a cheeky rebound to slot in against the post.
Very good games mate. :thumbs:

Equality of points after the group matches
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings.
a) Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question.
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) Higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question.
Assuming that you wiped all results involving any teams that didn't complete all their matches.

Seems I just missed you mate, but wow what a tense final game in Group A we have eh?
I need a point for my first entry into a 2nd round of a cup competition, but my 11 Norman Wisdom's are not known for handling pressure very well. :cry:
Nobody likes to see the host nation exit the competition at the group stages either so a tense 24 hours in store for IanMB, Gunner and myself to see how it all finishes.
How does 22:15 Tuesday Evening sound to finish the group?
Sounds good mate! I shall see you then :)
Sounds good mate! I shall see you then :)

Good games last night. I thought I had held out in the second but a moment of Scottish madness hit me and I threw it all away at the death. The Greeks seem a difficult side to score against.

I'm afraid this is a Pay Per View Game :lol:
One thing we do need you to decide on before the big game at 22:15 is what to do about the scoreline.
The game was originally played 1 week ago and I lost connection at exactly 16mins, Gunner was leading 1-0.
I'm happy for IanMb to adjudicate on this one as there is so much at stake for 3 sides.
Group A Result
Portugal 1 - 1 Greece
I was gutted when you equalized in the 92min. That said you deserved it, you dominated the 2nd half and had a goal disallowed so consider myself quite fortunate.
Really, sorry I lost connection on your home fixture, I rebooted router, when I tried to accept your 2nd invite it failed and saw you had gone offline.
I'm happy to replay fixture tomorrow, and start with you leading 1-0.
Let me know when you will be on mate.
Grateful Ghoul - I think you should replay the fixture with Gunn0r starting with a 1-0 lead as per your post above.

What I think is fairest (and quickest) is to declare your fixtures void. I'll update the tables after Gunn0r and Grateful Ghoul have played and publish the quarter-final draw.

GROUP A RESULT
Greece 3 - 1 Portugal + (1-0 from previous game) 4 - 1
Another hard luck story from me, not a dry eye in the house as 2 silly penelty's sealed my fate.
Was it just me or did you score a own goal and it didnt count? :cry:
Nothing went right for me and my boys crumbled under the pressure :cry:
Good look to Spain and Greece for the rest of the comp :thumbs:
Very unlucky mate. I thought it was a goal to be honest, I was bracing myself for a siege! How that was not allowed is beyond me?!?
The pens were very harsh, especially the first one, I thought it was nothing, shocked when a pen of all things was awarded.
Good games.
The final games have been played. Germany's results have been declared void in Group D and Latvia progress due to a better head to head record with the Czech Republic.
The quarter-final line up is:
Greece v Switzerland
England v Spain
Denmark v Latvia
Holland v Bulgaria
Let's try and get the games played a.s.a.p.
Knockout stages rules:
- games are played over two 10 minute legs. The first named player hosts the first game.
- settings are as per the league games.
- the aggregate score over the two legs determines who progresses to the next round.
- away goals count double
- if scores are tied over two legs then the first named player hosts a five minute game with penalties set to on.

Don't want to sound like I'm moaning but I always believed it was the team with the better goal difference that was placed higher which is me on 0 and zboniek has - 2. I think the rules above are for the teams being level on everything including goals scored and conceded. But the organisers word is final so good luck zboniek.
You can't deprive Latvia of their place in the elite of European football :lol:
I think nowadays it is the head to head record that is the first thing teams are measured on in most competitions.
That would be page 216, paragraph 4, sub section b
b) Superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question.
Cue massive hammering from Denmark

I checked the UEFA website and what Zboniek said is true. The same rules were being talked about last week when Scotland played Norway in the World Cup qualifiers. The late goal Scotland conceded means that we have to have finish with more points or a better goal difference than the Norwegians. If we hadn't conceded the late goal then simply finishing on the same points as Norway would suffice as we would have had the better goal difference from the games between the two countries (2-1).
So despite having a worse goal difference Latvia go through!
Jelly - are you about tonight?

Got a bit of a dilemma IanMB.. I am off on holiday as of Sunday for 2 weeks. I still have my QF to play, but I am out tonight (might be back late) and tomorrow. I should be around Saturday night all night (my technique for sleeping on planes).
I will keep my Xbox on when I am available, ready to go, so if anyone who has jet to play me sees me online - just send me an invite and I will switch over to the Xbox.

Let's try and get the games played asap then. You've got Scott Wilson in the next round and he is usually about. If you win then we can arrange the semi before Saturday. If you get to the final we will come to some arrangement - even if it means delaying for a couple of weeks.

Can't believe I went out there :oh-hum: First game you get a last minute equaliser that I just didn't move for and second game I passed you the ball in my box to equalise again. In the third game you were deservedly 2-0 up at half time but a change in formation and dominance really should have given me the equaliser I deserved. I'm not bitter :suspect:
Good luck in the semis mate :thumbs:

Every one of our games have been good stuff.
Wasn't the Latvia performance night and day - 1st game I had no attempts on goal at all.

England 1-1 Holland
Holland 3-1 England
A good couple of very close games, that was never a penalty for holland in the second game though - Nistelrooy went down like a sack of poo
So that should be Greece v Holland in the final but Gunn0r is on holiday.
Two options:
- Zboniek progresses at the expense of Gunn0r by default and Holland play Lativia in the final.
- The final is delayed until Gunn0r returns from his holiday and Greece play Holland in the final.
I'd prefer option two so not to deny Gunn0r his chance of final glory but it is up to Mr Spoons and Zboniek to agree to this as Gunn0r is prepared to step aside.
Let me know what you think.
As Latvia have nothing to lose then we accept the challenge of Holland. Although MrSpoons has beaten me twice already in the group so I don't hold out much hope.
MrSpoons can then take on Gunner when he returns in order to prove himself a worthy champion :lol:
How long is Gunner away for?
England 1-1 Holland

MrSpoons with holland could be worth an eachway bet as well.
Any chance you could get the lottery results for this week as well?
As for the final - I'm not bothered who I play. Obviously if Gunner is in the final then it would be better to play him when he's due back

I think he is back in a couple of weeks - can you wait until then?

no idea what happened there. w nt to change my formation and the xbox crashed.
do you want to play the first half again and score two goals then let it run to half time?
Yea, not sure what happened there mate. I did try to start another game after that, but you were busy. I waited a few minutes, but decided to crash out as I was totally knackered. We can play again tonight if thats cool, as per your suggestion.
European Championship Final
Greece (gunner) 5 - 1 (Mr Spoons) Holland
Holland 1 - 1 Greece
6-2 Aggregate Win Ti Greece :clap:
Cant really comment on the first to goals as they were scored a couple of nights ago, so re replayed the first game and just set the score to 2-0 at halftime.
The second half will probably go down as one of the jammiest games I have ever played. My gung-ho formation just seemed to catch the Dutch by suprise and give me space to score some lucky goals. I do not think that I have ever seen Greece perform so well in front of goal before. My keeper was also insptrational to stop chance after chance fron Holland. After all their good play it was ironic that Hollands goal came from a penalty that was a tad dubious. :suspect:
Second game I knew what to expect when Holland had 3 good chances in the first minute. Took an absolute battering form then on in and just seemed to get the vital header or block when it counted most. Holland scored with a nice finish to lead 1-0 and then Greece managed to level with another good finish. Held on the rest of the game by taking of my all attack formation and battoning down the hatches.
Well played mate, good games. :thumbs:

cracking games last night - congratulations on the win.
That penalty was a bit dubious, for the second game I just went for all out attack and had plenty of shots but nothing went anywhere near
Well done Gunner - the Greek journey is now complete.
Thanks MrS for waiting for my return.
