[trytrytry]

can any group play any other group in the playoffs? how is that seeded after pool play?

or is a specific bracket already set that defines some combinations as non possible in later rounds? (like two AFC teams cant play in the superbowl)..thanks

[packerd_00]

Sounds good.

group stage
=========
top 2 teams from each group (6 groups ) = 12 teams
4 best out of 6 third place teams = 4 teams

who will play who depends on 3rd place finishers--no specific bracket is set.

knockout stage
===========
16 teams in single elimination games (OT, penalties) down to 8, 4, 2, final.

[trytrytry]

1st-- 10pts france


2nd-- 5pts spain


3rd-- 3pts Germany
4th-- 3pts Italy


5th-- 2pts england
6th-- 2pts poland
7th-- 2pts portugal
8th-- 2pts Belgium

[yisman]

virtually all the soccer tournaments are set up this way

same thing with the world cup

you don't know the bracket because there isn't any bracket. Top finisher from one group faces second place from another group.

[yisman]

try has France first
Jake has France second
spider has France first and second
shaun has France first
Chaz has France first

no one had Portugal higher than fourth. shaun left Portugal out of his top 8 entirely.

To be fair, Portugal should've been eliminated after the group stage. It's not normal to advance so many sides. Stupid format.

I had Germany first and France third, which almost happened. Germany outplayed France, arguably, and the entire match swung on a ridiculous PK that was awarded in added time of the first half.

[Chaz22]

this is already over. either way if france wins or not - me and trytrytry will split the 1st/2nd place

3rd place is still unknown...if france wins shaunovery will get the 3rd place, if portugal wins then it's spider.....

btw what happens with payout, do we split 90 % or 70 % ?
