In the table it says Oct. 10, but in the list Oct. 11. Which is correct? — Emil K. ( talk| contribs) 23:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Who scored Albania's first goal against Malta - Armend Dallku or Erjon Bogdani? The Results and fixtures section lists Dallku as the scorer, but the table below as well as the FIFA official report of the match say it is Bogdani who scored the goal. Which is correct? -- 212.36.9.181 ( talk) 11:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Can Malta still win this group (post 28 March)? With all the double ties (teams needing to play each other twice) a quick check can't find a way to keep all the other teams below 14. Would be interested to know. Jlsa ( talk) 07:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
It is for sure, isn't it? -- Simy69 ( talk) 13:01, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
"Portugal will be able to only advance to the UEFA play-off with a loss." wtf does that mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.78.46.155 ( talk) 18:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I think there's a scenario in which Portugal can be guaranteed worst runner-up if they make it that far. Should they lose to Hungary, they're capped at 10 adjusted points and 0 goal differential (currently +5, but +4 against Malta in their first game and at least another -1 if they lose), so they could not finish ahead of Norway. If every other group can clinch 11+ (or 10 with a positive goal difference), Portugal would be eliminated even if Sweden fail to win. This scenario requires:
If someone could check this over I would appreciate it; I'm 99% sure it's right, though. PiGuy314 ( talk) 04:49, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
If Sweden draws 4-4, Portugal loses 0-3, and Hungary does not beat Denmark (or does by fewer than four goals), Sweden and Portugal will each be 16 points, +5 GD, 13 scored, having drawn 0-0 in both of their head-to-head games. It appears a coin flip would be used to rank the teams, though if Sweden won the toss, they would still be eliminated as the worst runner-up. Regulations do permit FIFA to organize a tiebreaker game if there is time, but is there? Jonpin ( talk) 22:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, there is time for a tiebraker game, which could be scheduled on November 14th (which is an international football games day, according to FIFA). Schnapper ( talk) 13:11, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I won't bother to revert back to my version, as it'll all be over tomorrow anyway. But I was curious to know in which way my version wasn't better than the previous. Contradictory to the revert-reason, I really did think that my version was more definative. For example, the current version doesn't include the possibility of Sweden finishing 3rd or 4th. Also, these things are about eliminaton or qualification and not final placing. The simple stipulation is that if Sweden do not win they will be eliminated (possibly as worst Runner-Up). The same applies for Hungary wining by less than 5 goals. Whether or not they finish in 2nd place doesn't matter. Granted, the paragraph about the tiebreaking was a little out-of-place, but I didn't think that a stipulation with 6 or 7 "AND/OR"s was going to be any clearer.
Anyway, these differences happen and it's fine. I just wonder if I've missed any obvious reason as to why my re-write wasn't good. Much love,
