yep, that's what I suspect will happen

of course if Italy were in the same position as the Dutch they would play their second string too, but they'll conveniently forget that.

As well as the fact that they are only in a position where they are relying on the Dutch because they have been crap for the first two games.

ha ha. May have been covered yesterday, but I hadn't realised (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 17, 08:44:02
- Or for 2nd / 3rd... (n/m) (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 17, 08:45:44
  - well indeed. but there would be rather more drama in that case (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 17, 08:50:35
    - don't think there can be one for 2nd/3rd (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 17, 09:12:20
      - No. France and Italy have both scored 1 and conceded 4. (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 17, 09:21:00
        
        that doesn't matter (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 17, 09:28:31

        you are right, apologies (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 17, 09:36:20
        
        See, the way that reads to me is that 7.08 applies ahead of 7.07. (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 17, 09:40:51
        
        Although the 2nd half of 7.08 kicks in cos Romania are in the mix too. (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 17, 09:42:57
        
        doesn't have to be that high-scoring, 1-1 will do for Italy (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 17, 09:46:01
        
        This is the group of death - 1-1 IS high scoring ! (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 17, 09:49:07
