Need Italy to beat Costa Rica tomorrow and then Uruguay on the last game. England need to put a couple past Costa Rica as well.
Any chance? |  | | |  |

To be honest, I can see it - far stranger things have happened. Although it would surely go down as one of the worst groups ever if we progressed with 3 points!! |  | | |

Ronnie O'Sullivan's been called up as an emergency replacement as we now need snookers.
In a word, no. |  |

I might be wrong but I believe a team, which might have been Spain, got out of their group with 2 draws once.
But going back to Clive''s question, I think we've got 2 hopes...... |  | | |

Of course we can, just need Italy to be bothered to get past a Uruguay bus. | | | |

The eternal optimist me so I agree with Alb.
Italy are fully capable of beating both Costa Rica & Uraguay as are we of beating Costa Rica.

The irony is going out of this world cup at the group stage having played a lot more positively than we did in Africa, where we were absolute sh*t and we still made it out of the group.
Everyone thinks we are doomed but there is the nucleus of a half decent attacking team for the Euros in a few years.
We also have to look at the likes of Holland, Germany, Chile, Mexico, Columbia, Italy and you can see that we aren't just tenth seeds because no one likes us.
However, I do see a few green shoots of hope. We have lost two games and still been better than in our last two tournaments.
We weren't expecting to win this tournament, were we? |  |

Why wouldn't Italy go out and win both matches, their a good team with good players, maybe a few even playing to a high standard due to other players in the squad pushing for their position, not a problem that ever seems a worry to us.
The worry should be how the fcuk are we going to beat Costa Rica..... |  | | |

Just thinking a draw will probably do them at that stage so if not leading with 20 mins to go, I can't see them busting much of a gut for the win. So basically hoping they score first half while the game is still honest so to speak. Uruguay wont be cutting loose either if we are busy beating Costa Rica. I'm assuming final group games are played at same time? | | | |

Costa Rica will draw with Italy tomorrow guaranteed |  | | |

In the 60th odd min of the play off final we had a man sent off and had to play a minimum of 30 odd mins with 10 men, i never thought we would win that game in 90 or 120 mins and i thought our only chance was penaltys.
After that game i dont rule anything out in football now. |  | | |

Can't see it personally. Italy will want to assure classifiaction at the earliest opportunity, ie, tomorrow. On their day and bearing in mind how they played against us, there is no way they should lose to Costa Rica. Surely the diffierence between quality and playing the final game already classified or relying, in part, on England to beat Costa Rica should mean a comfortable win for Italy tomorrow... |  |

I heard him playing a tune on the piano the other day. I couldn't get it out of my head. Turned out it had a good hook... | | | |

Can anybody confirm what happens in the admitedly unlikely, yet still possible, event that at least two teams finish on the same points and goal difference. Assuming it goes to goals scored and they're still the same, what next?! | |

Italy won the cup in 1982 after getting 3 points in the group and scraping through.
England will of course go out in the next round as we have no defence but still, getting out of the group with 3 points has been done. | | | |

Rule 8, or whatever they call it,is a draw
ie the team names go in a bag, the one picked out goes through. |  |

Goal difference or we would be out already as to go through 3 teams would have to finish with 3 points and we have lost to 1 of those teams already. |  | | |

But surely if the Italians beat CR they will have qualified so will not bother against Uruguay and probably rest their better players. |  | | |

Being somewhat perverse I'd like it if we lost to Costa Rica and sent Suarez home. |  | | |

Look at this way. Imagine Costa Rica had played Italy first and lost and now we needed them to beat Uruguay. That would seem a little more far fetched than needing them to lose to Italy.
As for Italy v Uruguay, that's a coin toss. I know we can't expect favours out of Italy but it's not a bizarre possibility.
Plus it'll take the pressure off a bit when we play Costa Rica.
It's not over.
That said, we're going to eat a big bag of dicks as soon as we face anyone good. |  |
