Croati/Spain- are they gonna collude for a draw?

[RubberKettle]

It would be great if Croatia somehow score the 1st goal

That would set the Spanish into an all mighty panic

[MUHerd37]

Boring as shit

[SamsNCharge99]

Sam, the first tiebreak is HTH.

Stop looking at goal differential. This is not the World Cup.

Italy and Spain would advance currently.

all 3 teams tied against eachother...being croatia spain, italy...and all beat Ireland.

Spain 4-0
Croatia 3-1
Italy 1-0....half

is it b/c Italy tied Spain and Croatia 1-1 and their current score is 0-0?

[TheBack]

In the 2nd Croatia will open it up and try to score bcuz italy is up 1-0. Once Croatia does that it will allow spain to do thier magic. I think spain will score 2 goals in the 2nd bcuz of that and that will be a 2-0 win for spain. I mean look they are toying with Croatia and they arent really even trying yet. So for all of u guys who have spain relax. Also i be the draw so i fully expect ro lose as i dont win in soccer.

yes

a. Higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question.
b. Superior goal difference in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
c. Higher number of goals scored in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
d. Superior goal difference in all the group matches.
e. Higher number of goals scored in all the group matches.

thanks Yisman, fukked up system

I'm only this upset b/c i have parlay of Germany, Spain, and England all winning group...so now I badly need a Spain goal

[Fl6j66]

it means a lot, actually.

We're talking about FT score (draw) so "no goals N minutes in" with 45 to go does not mean much, actually.

That would be funny BUT im not seeing it vut if u have that bet u got balls and i wish u luck cuz that would be a big dog barking. WOOF WOOF RUFF RUFF BABY!!

[Ghenghis Kahn]

hope croatia realizes they're not going anywhere and starts playing to win rather than playing to tie. fuckin pussies...

[paranoyd androyd]

The only time Spain can meet Italy is in the Final. If anyone truly beileves that;

A) Spain are scared of Italy

B) Spain actually think Italy can get to the Final

C) They would risk letting Croatia 'have' two goals, and then risking Croatia thinking: 'If we push forward now we can knock Spain out."


Knows nothing -zero - phuck all about football. Seriously.

Spain would love to play Italy in the Final so they could dismantle them.

At best that match would go to PKs for Spain. Ask Germany how easy it is to 'dismantle' Italy.

[RubberKettle]

So, Croatia, Italy and Spain are all on five points. It becomes a mini-league between those teams (ie the results against Ireland are removed from the equation). All three have two points in that scenario, all have goal differences of zero, but Italy are top on goals scored.

Spain has more goals scored than Italy,

Italy advances b/c they scored more goals against Croatia than Spain did since all 3 of those teams have tied eachother, if Spain, Croatia tie 0-0

If they tie 1-1, then Spain I think wins group and Croatia 2nd

Fair enough. I was talking about sport only though. Cool.

[yisman]

I'm talking about the outcome of the match.

The longer no goals are scored, the more likely a draw becomes.

[TheBack]

Spain will win they havent even started trying yet.

[yisman]

Wow Croatia came ohsoclose.

[byronbb]

omg he was all alone........

[RubberKettle]

Croatia get a goal soon! C'mon!

[yisman]

Spain now +124, Draw +109

[TheBack]

Now since croatia is taking more chances something will open up for spain

[RubberKettle]

Oh wow Jelavic so close to heading that in just a little to high

[paranoyd androyd]

Spain now +124, Draw +109

[SamsNCharge99]

spain not playing to win

[EmpireMaker]

they are playing for a 0-0 tie

[yisman]

Now +171/-139

[GoldRush7]

terrible game to watch

[yisman]

ESPN announcers finally admit that Spain is just trying to milk the clock. They're saying they have no interest in trying to win and take the group outright.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Not sure why Croatia isn't going for it.....would love to see them score and watch Spain go into a psychotic 10 minute scramble

[yisman]

starting to open up a little as Croatia realizes they need to gamble. Time running out.

[yisman]

Interesting that they waited this long to bring in Eduardo.

[Mikail]

Certainly looks like Spain is holding back on opportunities. Only Croatia is trying to score.

It's gonna end Draw.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Just hope the Croats leave town without burning down half the country once they match up against the Russian hooligans later tonight
