It’s hard for Finland because they don’t have the creative outlet to be effective at building up play, but they also lack real pace on the counter.Unless they win the ball high up the pitch they look a little flat0

And how much they beat each other by.ForeverAddickted said:Could see a remarkable end to Group B with second based on who loses to Belgium by the least amount of goals.
If Russia win today... Belgium beat Denmark (and Finland), yet Denmark beat Russia
The last three will all be on three points
Finland may get a bit lucky if Belgium rest a few in the last game, even if it's only by not losing by as many.1 -
If Russia don't get the second, it could bite them on the bum. If I was Finland I would see a draw as the whole outcome for them so risks have to be taken now.1

Been some awful footballl in this tournament so far, hopefully it’ll improve after the group stages.1

wow people moaning, i dont understand. Even that game started of pretty decent a couple of chances. The heat has been pretty telling in alot of games where teams have had to manage the game, sit back.
Its still early doors really, its unlikely any of the main nations are going to go out in the groups so teams are just feeling their way in.
Personally i am enjoying it, there have been a few crackers and a few solid /good performances. Its still far too early but has the potential to be a great tourney, although more likely after the groups imo, or even on the final games if there is something on it or teams need to score more to make sure.
slow burner but trust me stick with, no need to judge it from game to game.2 -
To be honest I still really don't like the 24 team format - 2/3 of the tournament is a group stage that only knocks out 6 teams, and the 16 team format had more quality so better games more often.

The trouble with 24 teams is that there isn't really a good format, it needs to be 16 or 32, but 32 would be far too many. 24 is too many for Europe but at least it gives the minnows like Finland, Albania and Scotland a chance to qualify.North Lower Neil said:To be honest I still really don't like the 24 team format - 2/3 of the tournament is a group stage that only knocks out 6 teams, and the 16 team format had more quality so better games more often.

The 48 team world cup will be worse, 16 3-team groups only knocking out one from each group.LawrieAbrahams said:

It's pretty open to abuse too, teams will be able to go into the last game in some cases knowing a certain result will see both teams though.ForeverAddickted said:

Agreed, personally agree it should be 16 or 32 teams. Also the 4 best runners up just seems ridiculous, with 2 qualify, 2 eliminated teams are more likely to go for it and would in turn be better games.North Lower Neil said:To be honest I still really don't like the 24 team format - 2/3 of the tournament is a group stage that only knocks out 6 teams, and the 16 team format had more quality so better games more often.
Although personally i do think its been good so far and not boring.0 -
It’s not goal difference this tournament is it? If teams are equal points, then it’s straight to head 2 head games. Russia currently 2nd even though they have worse GD.ForeverAddickted said:Could see a remarkable end to Group B with second based on who loses to Belgium by the least amount of goals.

They had 3 team groups in 1982 second phase, but only one qualified. 32 is the ideal number for the World Cup.2

To qualify that I don’t mean there hasn’t been any great football, just seems quite scrappy at times, or is it I just got too used to watching our games on Charlton Live 😆LawrieAbrahams said:

If Denmark beat Russia 1-0 and each team loses 3-0 to Belgium, then Euro qualifying rankings from the Nations League are used to determine who finishes where.ForeverAddickted said:
