Head to head vs Goal Difference
Russia was knocked off the Euro 2012 by Greece by their achievement of scoring more goals than Greece.
Their sin – they lost to Greece. I wonder if the strategy to give heads-up to a team only ’cause their one-on-one record is better than a goal difference is a good one!
So when it ended, stats were ..
| Russia | Greece | |
|---|---|---|
| Points | 4 | 4 |
| Goals For | 5 | 3 |
| Goals Against | 3 | 3 |
| Goal Diff | 2 | 0 |
| Yellow Cards | 6 | 9 |
| Red Cards | 0 | 1 |
I wonder why other statistics too were ignored? Is head-to-head a better criteria to move a team up?
… and Chel-ski through !
Chelsea finally managing to break the jinx of Champions League Semifinal.
Beating Bayern Munich 1-1 (4-3 on penalties). Didier Drogba scored the last penalty to take Chelsea through.
Site update with a welcome news
As I updated my website, migrating from Drupal to WordPress, a welcome news followed in the evening when Swansea beating Manchester City 1-0. The female assistant to the referee, Sian Massey, gladly judging Micah Richards for an offside. United had a rough time taking over WBA, but ensuring a relatively comfortable 2-0.
