As I said, in the evening I will simulate the matches again, and provide a matrix with all possible match ups in the Playoffs for the semi finals and the finals, as I think it may be very interesting.

Sure sounds interesting - always good to see and learn something new

There is a major bug... The events are not independent, for example for both Germany and The Netherlands not to qualify means not only Northern Ireland pass both of them, but also another team from that group, which is very very unlikely. The probabilities are taken from that general simulation (li...

What are probabilities of Germany & Netherlands, Denmark & Eire and/or Finland & Greece entering playoffs? Netherlands, Denmark and Finland have 'play-offs' guaranteed IF they don't qualify during group qualifier stage. So their probability to enter play-offs should be 100% minus the pr...

I don’t know if these guys’ projections are good or not, I only started paying more attention to them a few months ago because of the 2019 Africa Cup. I can't say if they used the correct pattern for 'who goes to UNL play-offs' (especially according to their own prediction of group winners, etc), b...

Advantage for Switzerland/Denmark/Ireland in terms of final tournament seedings. They have Gibraltar as the fifth seed, which offers them an opportunity to boost their goal difference significantly, which could be the difference between being in pot 1 and pot 2 or pot 3 and pot 4. Ok, yes - I agree...

The semifinals will be Portugal vs. Switzerland and England vs. Holland. :rupor: Portugal and Switzerland will have an extra day to rest for the final or third place match. Yes, I was just coming to post. Things have been laid out perfectly for you. The trophy is yours to lose. "You"? :? ...

You linked to the NL. UEFA must be playing jokes on me there - I followed the link given on 'wikipedia' for their source from 'uefa.com'. Where they explain how they seed final EURO 2020... on their official site, when I follow that document link, it leads to the 'Nations League' document. And the ...

The seeding procedure has been changed. UEFA national team coefficients are no more. See this website for full details: https://www.footballseeding.com/international-tournaments/euro-2020/ Yes, I can see that sentence on that site saying 'results vs. 6th placed are not taken into account'. But I ma...

There's a huge difference. Results against the sixth team are deducted from the total points and goal difference. Belgium can beat San Marino 10-0, it won't count for their ranking in the final tournament. However, if Switzerland beat Gibraltar 10-0, it will very much count for the rankings as Gibr...

Advantage for Switzerland/Denmark/Ireland in terms of final tournament seedings. They have Gibraltar as the fifth seed, which offers them an opportunity to boost their goal difference significantly, which could be the difference between being in pot 1 and pot 2 or pot 3 and pot 4. Seriously doubt t...

Quite satisfied with that draw. You sure can be - Denmark has a decent chance to finish first. And the 'Olsenbanden' (no, I mean the film, not the former coach) should definitely not miss out Top-2 here. Georgia is interesting, but anybody who actually wants do achieve something significant during ...

I have a 'second one': In that group, Germany will finish Top-2. Although I am not convinced it will be ahead of the Netherlands - we will see.

The reaction in the crowd when Republic of Ireland was drawn was priceless. Everybody thought they are in the group with Germany and Netherlands. And then laughter of joy when they realized they are transferred to another group. And then another round of laughter when it was Northern Ireland who go...

I really think no Euro host and having many Euro cities for matches is bad idea. Its loosing own identity. Its loosing all tournament idea. This is b****t. So many bad inovations. I couldn't agree with you more :applause: It's nice to have one or two countries (especially if they are smaller, too s...

- titties = tieten - bosom = boezem - breasts = borsten ... Yes, I already learnded that from 'Polder' - but can't hurt to refresh it :wink: The hardest word in German was "Memme", which means "crybaby". Don't worry, you can keep your respect. It's not like others can't sleep wi...
