If it ends as it is now, Austria winning the group, does that put Nerherlands in play to face England should England win tonight?

That 3rd place permutations table is impossible to decipher.

Uh I think a 3rd place Netherlands could also get Spain in the round of 16? Very tough to figure out.

Spicy matchups either way for a neutral.

[Baddar]

Well taken.

[Kyle]

Score one for the Mbappe top scorer predictions, just gotta start doing it in open play now.

😮

 

The mysterious man was Mbappe all along?!!!

[gunnar hendershow]

We're on the board my fellow Mbappe goalscorer havers!

Next you're going to claim that Mr. America was Hulk Hogan all along

[Chris2K]

Poor form from Austria, you're not supposed to score at the same time as there's a goal in the other game.

I couldn't even get my dosage of memes from the Mbappe goal before this. Terrible.

[Chris2K]

Who in God's name is calling that a handball?

[Adam]

Why don't the Dutch just play Weghorst from the start? He makes such a difference and defenders can't handle him.

[Kyle]

You get a penalty! And you get a penalty!

[Chris2K]

Meanwhile, what an absolutely garbage penalty from one of the best strikers in the world.

 

Oh come on, you can't let the taker stop five times in his run up and then make the goalkeeper remain still.

[Kyle]

Absolutely hate the stutter step penalty with a passion. 

[Adam]

Austria won't give up!

[Bobfoc]

All the mess around best third-placed teams aside, this has been a fantastic end to the group.

[Chris2K]

God dammit Austria will you please stop scoring while I'm watching the other game.

[Bobfoc]

France haven't played anywhere near as well as they should have done in the group. They have so much room for improvement, but for the sake of unpredictability, I hope they don't pick things up.

[Szumi]

This Austria Netherlands match night be the most fun match of the Euros, that I've watched at least. Just proper chaos.

[JasonM]

If I didn't know it already, this game would've made it obvious that Ronald Koeman is a terrible manager. The fact he's got all these players, and he's got none of them playing to any decent standard is football terrorism.

Imagine having Nathan Aké and Denzel Dumfries, and forcing them to be defensive full backs.

Top beans to Austria, though, they have fully earned their success

A potential match with England in the next round would be a fine showdown between two managers who can't work out how to use their players properly.
