You can say that, but look at what Greece achieved in Euro 2004 ;)

What is this whole nonsense on head-to-head? I have a pretty good idea of what it is, but then it doesn't make sense... Greece went through on head to head yet I'm pretty sure Russia are leading the head-to-head? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Never mind, I figured it out. What a stupid rule, was goal difference not complicated enough for them? :rolleyes:
In total agreement here, in my opinion Russia deserved it more, not just saying that because I'm Russian but they really have been playing well - they did let it slip during the second half against Greece though. But it really is pathetic, rules changing all the time it's hard to keep up. I remember when the 'golden goal' was introduced, basically extra time but first to score wins. Bit gutted for Russia really because although they could never win it overall, I think they could have easily progressed further.
Apparently Holland took the lead at the same time as the Netherlands. Crazy coincidence.
