the penalties only come into it if it between only two teams

and so is effectively a knockout.

Presumably you would prefer to draw the names out of a hat, which they used to do. UEFA are fantastic at 'randomly' drawing names out of hats (or balls out of bowls, as the case may be)!

        I dunno, I guess if Uefa and Fifa are so up on fair play, they should decide it (Other Football) - pants, Jun 16, 13:18:14
        
        Fair play comes after co-efficient in a 3 way tie. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:19:41
      - well, you only need a pen shootout if (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 16, 13:07:28
