BlueStriker Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 How does the format of this tournament work? I thought after Greece played each team in their group and if they finished in the top 2, they would move on to the the knock out stages. I guess it's set up different, can someone please explain?

Tsalgik Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 How does the format of this tournament work? I thought after Greece played each team in their group and if they finished in the top 2, they would move on to the the knock out stages. I guess it's set up different, can someone please explain?In the begging of the tournament were 4 groups:A,B,C,D.Each group had 4 teams.Each team played 3 games.The last of the group were eliminated.Points:game won 2 -game lost 1 A team takes only points from teams that passed the round.For example Greece won 2 games in the 1st round but the points against Serbia does not count because Serbia did not make it Now We have 12 teams.ok?With these 12 teams were created 2 new groups E,F The E group is from the 6 teams of the groups A and B The F group from the 6 teams of the groups C and D Now I take for example the E group. Each team of the A group will play ONLY against each team from tha B group. In the end they will pass only 4.The other 2 are eliminated And we will have 4 teams from the E group and other 4 from the F group. The 1st of the E group plays with the 4rth of the F 2nd with the 3rd 3rd with 2nd 4th with the 1st I hope you understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsalgik Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 To GS1905: So if the 2 face its better from the 1st why do you have to insist with the first? Well you know the Italians are in the same position as yours but they seem very optimistic.They say that it is very possible for them to pass.So cheer up.If they can do it,you can do it. If Germany loses against Slovenia and Italy(it is possible),Italy against you(it is possible),and you win against France(this is the tough one).Then you will pass the round It will be Germany 6 points,Italy 6 points,Turkey 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genome Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 The Greeks have stumbled to two straight losses for a 1-2 record and could drop to fifth place in the six-team group (only the top four advance to the quarter-finals) with a loss and an Israel victory. So I guess we're in luck what concerns Israel as they lost from Portugal earlier on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
