That's only half correct. GD takes preference.

It's a 3 way tie, so goals between the 3 teams (and goal difference) count. Finland now 3rd.

They're not on BBC

I thought it was standard: points - GD - GS

Yep. Finland can still go through here which is bizarre.

Does this mean we have now qualified as have 4 points. So even if we lose we get a 3rd place space

You're right I've just looked it up. That makes it even more mad. A team can qualify in third on -2 GD over a team in 4th with 0 goal difference if they just lost heavily to the team in first. That team can then qualify for the next round along with a team on -1GD in another group because they have better goal difference than the other teams in the third.

Madness.

Not mathematically I don’t think, but it’s massively likely that we’re already through

Should either go to 32 teams and have the group stage as a secondary qualification system or go for groups of 6 or something if they want more teams. This is just stupid.

Gary Lineker tried to do a list. "all the things they been through"

Thought of the obvious one then the second was "bad results".

italy lumbered through a group by drawing every game including Peru and Cameroon - we breezed through a group then drew against Spain and Germany and were eliminated - it was a bizarre format

This isn’t as bad as that as there are 16 teams in a knockout which is as it should be

Don't get why Chilwell & Mount have to isolate for the close contact, no word of Steve Clarke having to isolate who did pretty much the same thing as Mount and Chilwell. It's really bizarre.
