>quite possible
they're going out

The entire tournament is scheduled so France can win

>Sweden can still finish third with having 1 point, 2 loses and ZERO (0) shots on goal

They definitely need to go back to 16 teams.

Now albania has to wait two or three days until they know if they advance or not.

Daily reminder yuros will still think copa shit compared to this

3 points will not be enough to go through lads.

Never going to happen, it would be political suicide for a perspective UEFA president to suggest it. All the smaller countries would make sure he never got in.

It will, just not with a -2 GD and 1 GF

>Sweden doesn't win against Belgium
>Ireland doesn't win against ITALY
>Turkey and Czech Republic, equally shitty, draws
That's literally all they need to qualify.

let 3. into KOs was literally a mistake

everyone play just defensive now

the worst tourney since WC 2002

It probably will be, but 3 points with that goal difference definitely won't be.

>tfw it's in the middle of the night
I wish I could watch m8

>Greece won Euro 2004 with 5 shots at goal

Just a daily reminder that Kosovo is Serbia

>14 / 1 / 12 / 1
what about vojvodina bitch ;)?

>3 results going exactly their way
It's definitely a sub 50% chance, and the other groups are very unlikely to produce a result that favours them

They scored 7 goals at that tournament.

2010 was worse than this for sure, but this is the worst Euros in my lifetime by miles. The Euros have always been way better than the world cup in general, and UEFA had to fuck it up.

I have nothing against u really its just the truth. Vojvodina is fine btw.

ITS LIT SENPAI

>The Euros have always been way better than the world cup

Daily reminder

They need at least 2 out of those 5 group scenarios to happen.

Group B:
England beats Slovakia by 3

AND

Russia loses/draws Wales OR beats Wales by 3

Group C:
Germany beats Northern Ireland by 4

Group D:
Turkey beats Czech Republic by 1 goal OR the game ends in a draw.

Group E:
Neither Sweden nor Ireland win OR Sweden beat Belgium by 4.

Group F:
Hungary beats Portugal OR both games do NOT end in a draw.

Is Albania a legit holiday destination or will they fuck up my shit?

but they wouldnt go through so who gives a fuck

Name me one time in your life apart from 2014 and 2016 that the World Cup has been better than the Euros. I'll wait.

>since 2002

What are you talking ab-

>sees flag

kek still sore about that loss

Statistically pretty safe. Just dont look like an out of place gringo with noone by your side and youre set

D, E and F are all fairly likely
I've ben told on Sup Forums that they'll steal your organs

nothign will happen. ALl my dutch friends have been coming here for the past 5 years and love it.

Have you seen Sweden and Ireland in the tournament? They suck compared to Belgium and Italy on their worse days and both know they're likely going out.
Turkey can also beat Czech Republic with 2 goals difference and Albania would still go through as well.

You're better off here.

>it is now quite possible that Netherlands will not qualify for the new format of 24 teams

can we all agree this new format is shit?

2010 and 2012

2004 was awful compared to even this Eurocup.

06

kek

I have, 3 results going exactly their way is still unlikely

they could have if the rest of the teams were equally as shit in the tournament tho. It shows how stupid this format is
If you don't go to Northern Albania yes

itt: hurrhurrrdurrr

>this new format

the fact that this """new""" format was used for like four world cups aside...

italy went to the 3rd place playoff in 1980 with a single goal scored in the group stage (as in they finished second in a group of four teams and 'advanced' so to speak, literally the same concept)

italy (again) WON their group at the 1970 world cup with a SINGLE goal scored

lol

04 compared to 06 is no contest, there were some amazing group stage matches with the Czechs (iirc) beating both Germany and the netherlands in high scoring games, Portgugal being fantastic at home and then throwing it all away in one of the best underdog stories in international football against Greece.

Compare that to 2006, look at the BBC's own roundup for it, some isolated great moments, which I think is what you're remembering, but overall not that great.

>Verdict: A disappointing World Cup, with few real breakthroughs.

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/5158988.stm

If you're comparing against 08 then it's not even close, that was one of the best international tournaments ever.

Congratulations Albania! You actually managed to get a name for yourself, unlike us which now we are the joke of europoor.

they ended up 1990 third in the group and after that they got to the finals . this new format is ok, more oportunities but quality of games is shit

>twitter.com/SerbianUltras/status/744559162361782272/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

first step in peace between both your countries?

I would honestly rather UEFA go full cash grab and expand to 32 than stay at 24.
Letting 3 teams out of a group go through renders the group stage basically worthless.

>if

ah yes the extreme hypothetical situations that that will never happen.

hell with the old system a team could advance with 2 points and zero goals and zero shots

That flag must have cost half of Albania's GDP

what does that hand sign mean tho

>peace

he's baiting them like "come at me pussies 3prsta" or smth like that

bcs albanians differeng from you dont give half a fuck, about serbitches. you are like that small cocked man that tries to prove himself.

>BBC
Of course they didn't like it, England got meme'd on as usual
The Italy-Germany game alone was enough to make it great

lol

It cost about 500$ iirc

>Kosovo
>Serbia

choose one

>sweden beat belgium by 4
please no

Netherlands - Czech Republic was one of the most entertaining games I've ever seen desu

i count 2002 as bad

the german team that reached final 02 against Superpowers like South Korea and USA got btfo in Euros 2000 and 2004 as 4. in Group...

Brazil was literally the only good Team in this whole fucking tournament and deserved their win

Never forget
Gib back rightful clay

This.
You're fucking retarded.

Re-posting

Switzerland are also through because the Albanian keeper missed a cross

The standard of the games has been piss poor

The only times teams played really well were:

Spain against Turkey
Croatia against Turkey and Czech as well until Modric came off
Portugal against Austria but they didn't score somehow
Italy against Belgium

>Poland scores 1 (fluke) goal against the worst rated qualified team
>is basically guaranteed to advance
>out of 51 matches, 36 only serve the purpose of weeding out 8 teams
wew lads

Albanians have piss poor aim
See lenjani and the entire first half against france

so 60% then

Spain and Italy were cucked out of their chance

At least they won a game. Watch Portugal and Iceland go through with three draws apiece.

Fucking Albanian minimum wage slaves are already making a racket in town here. Fucking cancer.

nice
btw I'm coming to Jermany im nächsten Jahr, mein Freund :)

no they literally can't, even before todays games were played that was impossible. Stupid debnt.

We deserve to be proud of our nation too every once in a while. Not our fault it's illegal to fly a German flag in GERMANY.

I doubt you can afford food, let alone a holiday

my mistake, they can finish third but cant progress to RO16

It's noisy annoying shit. Fucking hate this car horn honking over football, no matter the nation.

Understandable but it's not an everyday thing. Just let people be happy about something for once.

Verdiene bestimmt mehr als du. Lass uns Nummern austauschen dann schicken wir uns die Gehaltszettel zu Peter.

>this mad

I gehe nach zur Arbeit, Hans

germans talk always very loud in public transport.Obnoxious and Rude.

Too bad you're probably not going through to the knock-out phase anyway

>3pts with +3 GD more likely than 4pts with

Hopefully we will.

>The three-finger salute (Serbian: тpи пpcтa / tri prsta, "three fingers"), commonly known as the Serb salute, is a salute which originally expressed Serbian Orthodoxy, that today simply is an expression, a gesture, for ethnic Serbs and Serbia, made by extending the thumb, index, and middle fingers of one or both hands.

how do you not know this, you're supposed to be triggered by it

Daily reminder Montenegro is Serbia

Do it in albania then.

Kosovo is Serbia. Savage al^anians rekt.

>you are like that small cocked man that tries to prove himself

But thats you, you animal. You are trying to prove yourself to be real, but you aren't, "Kosovan".
Without american aid, you're just a frightened chicken, can't wait for the day when they abandon you like they usually do to their petslaves like shiptars are.

You still live in the 90s

Kosovobro here
Albania is a holiday destination...kind of
Just be careful not to get robbed...there's a lot of thieves in there

Good luck

are you posting from Kosovo?

>Albanian

They go by "Shiptars" nowadays

Correct

you don't have national provider yet? you're using Albanian Internet provider?

>Is Albania a legit holiday destination

You should be glad, it's the only chance Neverlands has of qualifying for it with more teams in the competition.

"Albanian" is what foreigners call us


It's the same as we calling Germany "Germans" while they call themselves "Deutsch"

We call ourselves "Shqiptar"(or "Shiptar" in Geg dialect)
It comes from the word "Shqiponje"(which means "Eagle")

Shqiptar=Southern(Grammatical) Toske dialect which is usually used for more formal/official occasions(people from Albania talk similar to this in general)
Shiptar=Northern(more casual) Geg dialect which is more casual and less formal(people from Kosovo and even some Albanians from Macedonia talk like this)

>you don't have national provider yet?
We do
Sup Forums doesn't have the Kosovo flag so it uses the Albania one instead

I hope Sup Forums resolves it before cro-kos match in qualifications
it will be epic shitfest on Sup Forums during that match

Not the person you're replying to.
Kosovo does not yet have a domain so the flag we get depends on the ISP. We can just put Kosovo in our name or something when posting, shouldn't be a problem.

>the flag we get depends on the ISP
I don't think the 4chins have the Kosovo flag in their database

A domain is unnecessary they can just detect your geographic location
