    group a advancement scenarios

    This is a complicated group so here it is.

    Russia (4) -- need a draw to advance, a win to win group. Wuld win the group likely on gd with a loss and czech draw. Only chance of being sent home is a loss and a non draw in the other match.

    Czech (3) -- need a win to advance for sure, a draw gets them thru if russia doesnt lose (wuld likely b eliminated witha draw if russia lost on gd). A loss they r out.

    Poland (2) -- simple win or go home. If greeks get a shock win and they win they take the group, if greeks draw and they win then they will likely finish 2nd on gd.

    Greece (1) -- win and or go home. Surprisingly they dont need any help. A draw in the other gamd wuld put them thru on gd, if other game is not a draw they beat russia on h2h.

    Probably the most exciting final group day we will see. No one has actually advanced yet somehow from any group and the only teams finished r sweden and ireland.

    ur wrong.

    tiebreakers

    if greece win they end with 4 points russia ends with 4.

    if czech wins they end with 6 (greece beats russia and advances head to head)

    if poland wins they end with 5 points (greece beat russia and advances head to head)

    if poland czech draw, czech end on 4 points and we have a 3 way tie (russia greece czech would all have 3 points amongst each other, we would go to goal differential which czech would lose on since the greeks already have them beat in that scenario)

    world cup goes on gd first, euro does head to head.

    That has to be the worse rule Uefa have come up with.. Goal diff should always be the decider. H2H rule sucks..
