When the Swedes scored their second, did you see Ibrahomivic(their number 10) give JH verbals.
Wonder if JH had a word back as they were going off the pitch.

Yeah I saw that, was surprised to have not seen anything about it since.

It does, but somehow I believe Spain are more likely to stumble. It doesn't take more than a lapse of concentration against Croatia tomorrow and Italy doing their bit against Ireland. But my money is stil on Spain-Germany in the final

I'm sure I read it could have been a 'due a due' scenario again for Italy, yet the BBC commentator spent the last minutes saying "one goal will take Croatia through". Surely Croatia wouldn't go through with 1-1?
I know the rules are tricky, but that's why there are commentators. Completely spoils the game for the viewer if you're giving misinformation. Amateurs.

Was that at 1-0 to Spain and 1-0 to italy? if so weren't they right?
They would have gone through with 1-1.
That would have left three teams with 5 points, and identical records in the matches against each other. So it would go down to goal difference in the group as a whole - basically, down to the results against Ireland.
Spain would be top on +4. Croatia and Italy would both be on +2, but Croatia would have finished second on goals scored.

The commentators rests their case

Ah. I guess the 2-2 reference was made because that's how we went through in 2004.
No, the 2-2 thing was because that score would have taken Spain and Croatia through no matter how many Italy beat Ireland by tonight - because they would have scored more goals than Italy in the "mini league" between the three teams on 5 points.
If Italy had won 3-0 tonight, a 1-1 draw wouldn't have been enough for Croatia.

Partly. If it had ended 2-2, italy could have won 10-0 and it wouldn't have helped them

No, I think it's good! It's not fair that a team can go through because they score 8 goals against a team that has nothing to play for. But yeah, it's a bit complicated.
