Head-to-head first, points then goal difference, and then overall goal difference, I think.

No.  I don't mind either.  I just said Poland were playing well and then Russia scored.

I watched the Greek match in a bar yesterday, and the Greeks were just as impressed as I was. Two goals in less than six minutes! Well done, Greece! Even though Mr Čech’s spectacular blunder gave us some hope, it couldn’t help an unimaginative Greek side that more or less owned the ball in the second half. The problem is they didn’t know what to do with it.

Didn´t see the game, but nothing is settled in this group yet and the Greeks still have a chance. While the Russians are certainly a well playing side, I think they showed a couple of weaknesses against Poland. If Greece can score the first goal in the match they may be able to defend the win home.

^Yeah, Greece is through if they beat Russia, I think. Let’s say that Greece wins 1-0 (not very likely but still possible) and Czech Rep. and Poland plays a draw. Poland is out with only three points. Head to head Czech will be ahead of Greece, Greece will be ahead of Russia … and Russia will be ahead of Czech. Then the overall score will decide, right? Then Russia will win the group with Greece as the runner-up.

Still I think the elections on Sunday are more important for the Greek people.

Tonight Holland - Germany.
I'm excited, and scared at the same time for my favored team (Netherlands, my country of birth)
Last time both teams met (November 2011 for a friendly match) Germany made minced meat out of the Netherlands, but in general they are even in wins and losses.
I have a lot of sympathy for the German team but not tonight LOL

^Interesting that you call your country Holland too. Holland isn't a country but an area of The Netherlands surely?

Yes, that's true.
In Dutch, which I usually speak in both the Netherlands and Belgium, I do call my country "Nederland", never Holland.
But on the internet I suppose I just followed the habit of other people, and it's shorter.
Maybe it would be different if I wasn't from the Holland part in the Netherlands, but I come from Rotterdam in the province of South-Holland.
I suppose it could be a bit different if I was from one of the other provinces like Friesland, Overijssel etc.
I do think it has a different feel than in Great-Britain, if someone would say England when he means the whole of Great-Britain, which I think would offend the Welshmen, the Scots and the Northern-Irish folk.
I have the feeling that a Dutchman would easier say Holland, even if he's not technically from the Holland part of the country.

I'm backing the Germans, of course, but it will be a tough match, especially since the Netherlands need to win to advance to the next round.

There is one small chance that the Netherlands advance to the next round if Germany wins: Germany should beat Denmark while the Netherlands make picado of Portugal.

I'm always trying to dissuade people from calling it Holland but when TV stations and papers call it Holland too, I am definitely on a hiding to nothing.

I had no idea! In Denmark, The Netherlands are always refered to as Holland.

Hm, I actually believe Denmark is the most underrated team in the championships. I was not surprised at all that they won their first match against Portugal; i had actually tipped on their victory in the little betting game we do in our family.
