  - 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

        This is the group of death - 1-1 IS high scoring ! (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 17, 09:49:07

        yep, that's what I suspect will happen (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 17, 09:40:02
