I want it to be like last time

when Italy thought they had gone through and then Sweden equalised with a couple of minutes to go (can't remember who scored though...) How we laughed! Like geese.

      - in that document ^^^ check articles 7.07 and 7.08 on page 9 (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:19:03
        
        So it can do, no? (Other Football) - Garry Brooke, Jun 16, 13:20:32
        
        Only if you ignore 7.08 (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:25:34
        
        Er, yeah. (Other Football) - Garry Brooke, Jun 16, 13:33:06
        
        or if only 2 teams are involved and they aren't playing each other in the last game (n/m) (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 16, 13:34:40
        
        That's what I meant! (Other Football) - Garry Brooke, Jun 16, 13:43:14
- What I don't get is. How can a league be decided by a penalty shoot out? (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Jun 16, 12:59:21
  - What's your preferred alternative, if teams are level on pts, GD and goals scored? (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 16, 13:01:14
    - I don't know (Other Football) - pants, Jun 16, 13:03:15
      - the penalties only come into it if it between only two teams (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 16, 13:15:22
        
        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
        
        If 3-way tie and co-efficients were identical, it goes to fair play and then to coin toss (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:18:30
      - Soggy biscuit ? (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:03:43
- Holland will throw it against Romania, surely, to ensure both France and Italy out? (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 16, 12:58:47
  - one possible argument against that (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 16, 13:25:21
    - The Dutch failed to beat Romania in either of their qualifying matches! (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:59:24
- I thought if Romania get beat by 3 goals and Italy draw 0-0 (Other Football) - Brandonio, Jun 16, 12:54:51
  - Yes, that is what it says (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 12:56:40
    - Only if it's 3-0 by the way. If it is 4-1, Romania go through on goals scored (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Jun 16, 13:03:22
