Isn't it matches played against each other that counts, not goal difference? If so and that was the case on prevous tournaments, they already won it.

We've been close to shite since 66. That's the awful truth, and I don't pretend to understand it. There's been a number of World Cups since then which we didn't even qualify for. Can you for one second imagine that happening to Germany? Or Italy? In those we did, it's simple, we didn't have a sniff. Possible exception for 1990, when we did actually get to the semis, and should have won that match. That's it. That is the sum total of what we have to show since in the last half-century. Never won the Euro, and the WC decades back, when it was on our turf. For a country that's mad about football, that invented the fucking game, it just can't be explained.

Thought it was only GD in case of 3 way tie - that can´t happen now so having beat both the others surely CR automatically win the group on head to head regardless of the result?
