Is Kane able?
Only 2 third place teams get knocked out. With 4 points already, I assume they are saying England can’t be in that bottom 2 third place teams.

Yipchaa!
Yeah, seems to be no way we can't qualify at this stage!
Southgate should have some fun with it, forward line made of 'keepers, Sterling between the sticks, players told to "play it how you feel it, just follow your energy".
Not old stinker Southgate, though, too serious for that

If teams are level on points, I think head-to-head comes first ahead of goal difference. So England can't finish behind Croatia, but could finish behind Scotland. I think that's right. So yeah, not a cast-iron 100%.

Which isn't correct. It's very unlikely but not impossible. Looking at the tables, it's still possible for every single third-placed team to have four points.

head to head? what does that mean

Yipchaa!
What was the result in the game the two teams played against each other, I believe.

England beat Croatia, so if they finish level on points, England go through irrespective of goal difference. Then it's gd, then it's number of cards, I think. After that, not sure. Nicest kit?
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!

So what I said is basically correct, aside from the best kit bit. Head to head, then gd (then goals scored), then cards. Then qualification ranking (so no coin toss).
Interesting that they have accommodation for a penalty shoot-out if the level teams are playing each other last.

If you could time travel, go back and change just one thing, would it be to stop the 9/11 bombing? The assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand? No, I'd fucking kill Baddiel and Skinner before they wrote that fucking song.

Aye, could be interesting (I think I wouldn't hate a shoot-out quite so much if it was just determining which place teams qualify in).

Actually, the worry with a time travel reset is what fills the void. Could revert back to Vindaloo. I wouldn't want to be responsible for that.

It's theoretically possible that you could have a penalty shoot-out to decide 3rd/4th in which both teams go out regardless.

You could even have a group where the 4th placed team goes out with 4 points and another group where the 3rd placed goes through with 3.It's theoretically possible that you could have a penalty shoot-out to decide 3rd/4th in which both teams go out regardless.

In Denmark's group, it is very possible, likely even, that Denmark will go through in second place with three points.
It needs Belgium to beat Finland and Denmark to beat Russia by more than one goal.

Mildly interesting historical footnote: World Cup 1982 also had 24 teams but in 2 phases of groups. 6 groups of 4, top 2 go through >>>. those 12 teams went into 4 groups of 3, from which the winners went through to a semi final. So, England beat France, Czechoslovakia and Kuwait, then in second phase, drew with Spain and West Germany. Played 5, won 3, drew 2, lost 0 = eliminated.
World Cup 2018, played 7, won 4 (one of which was on penalties), lost 3 = 4th place.

Chelsea duo Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount are isolating after having interaction with Scotland player Billy Gilmour during Friday’s match.
The pair will be kept away from the rest of the England players and wider support team, pending further discussions with Public Health England.
The entire squad had lateral flow tests on Monday afternoon and all were again negative.

I'd be very surprised if any England players tested positive, I don't think they got close to Gilmour all game

Russia I'm fine with losing, but I'd be happy with the level of risk we'd run if Finland could go through too.

Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell now self isolating after draping themselves all over Billy Gilmour the other day.

I've been uncomfortable for a while seeing how the social distancing around football as opposed to within the 90 minutes itself has slipped. It's all hugs from the manager when substituted along with a free for all of hugging at the end of the game. In some ways that kind of slippage is what you'd expect, particularly as football gets something like back to normal. But hey, this is a fucking deadly disease and football was only supposed to start up with proper controls against exactly this kind of behaviour. Prem leage, uefa and the rest should have been enforcing this, but then they are the ones who can't see beyond the next billion. Fuck me, threatening to take the final away from Wembley unless they could breach quarantine rules. Astonishing. And don't get me started on the fucking olympics...

Southgate said during the press conference earlier it wasn't an interaction that happened on the pitch, so not the draping thing.
I assume they got on it after the game, as young lads do (see greenwood and foden earlier in the season)

Might be wrong, but I don't think they've got Covid, but have had contact. Cynically, I wonder if this is more about there being pictures of them interacting with Gilmour, so an arse covering exercise. Anyway, certainly as defined by the usual self isolation rules, just about every member of the Scotland team must have been in close indoor contact with Gilmour.
Yes, the rules are mental. Everything about this competition is mental. As much as I'm enjoying it this competition really shouldn't be going ahead right now. I don't know how you can justify tens of thousands of fans bellowing out flower of scotland and god save our gracious queen before larging it in leicester square all night yet my friend's wedding has had to move their band outside, make them play acoustic and impose strict rules about no singing and dancing. And that's 35 people.
Looks like it is virtually cast-iron now that England qualify for the knockout stages.
