good work on keeping up the next matchday scenarios! Probably the main reason I frequent the wiki pages! Tomberli (talk) 09:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC) |
Thanks
[edit]Just wanted to say a huge thanks for making the next matchday scenarios. I was upset after they were removed from the regular pages. Thanks for keeping them on your userpage! --108.48.75.131 (talk) 21:41, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:Uefa Group D
[edit]Why you reverse my edit? The green line is useless because Netherlands is already green... Stigni (talk) 20:42, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
The green line is to show that only 1st qualifies. Without it, people could think the blue line has this meaning so the lines should remain until all matches have been completed. Removing the lines or background colours early adds nothing and merely removes information. Also, even if a group is decided the red background for eliminated teams should remain for consistancy until all groups are decided and the key is removed from the confed main article. Same with the coming CL/EL groups, the colours should remain until all matches have been played. Zirath (talk) 20:53, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
Group H
[edit]the colour is correct. Montenegro cannot surpass Ukraine in the goal differential. Montenegro has been eliminated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.58.242 (talk) 21:03, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- You are wrong. It is still theoretically possible and then the colors should show that! QED237 (talk) 21:16, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Ukraine - Montenegro
[edit]Tie-breaking criteria
[edit]The ranking in each group is determined as follows:[1]
- a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
- b) goal difference in all group matches;
- c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings shall be determined as follows:
- d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
- f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
- g) greater number of goals scored away from home between the teams concerned (if the tie is only between two teams)
- if teams are tied GD does not matter, but games between those teams. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 21:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- Please read again what you just wrote. First it is points, then b) is goal differential.... QED237 (talk) 21:37, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Denmark play-off
[edit]Denmark cannot be the best eight second place team. Because in second place team ranking, matches against the last-placed team in each of the six-team groups are not included in this ranking. Therefore, the last match of Denmark will not effect the point and goal difference of Denmark in second-place team ranking (Denmark 10 points with -2 GD). The worst potential second-place team in the other groups is Slovenia, if Slovenia draw and Iceland loss in their last matches (Slovenia 10 points with +4 GD). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sawiphan (talk • contribs) 21:57, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- 2nd in group D could still be worse than Denmark if Turkey, Romania and Hungary all lose. eg Tur 0-5 Ned, Rom 0-1 Est and Hun 0-0 And, leaves Romania 2nd with 10pts and -4GD Zirath (talk) 22:02, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Borderline in standings
[edit]Hi
I just opened a discussion at WT:FOOTY, at the section WT:FOOTY#Remove borderline in standings that i thought might be of your interest. One editor keeps inserting borderline in already completed standingstables and i think they should be removed as they always has been? There are no need for borders when group is finished and teams has background colors. I would appreciate your input on the issue. Thank you. QED237 (talk) 14:22, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, I just wanted to say that I worked on the scenarios for the next set of matches and then compared to your sandbox. I could not find anything wrong with your "calculations", but instead I found a couple of mistakes I made. Just thought you should know that your scenarios are completely correct (with reservation for group F, the only group I have not looked at yet, and the fact that we could both be wrong), in case people starts arguing and edit warring tonight. I will be there to update the tables, just like I am updating World Cup qualification. Qed237 (talk) 17:20, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Table positions
[edit]Hi, there is currently a discussion that might be of interest to you at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Team positions in team tables, since you have been updating such articles.
Basically it is if we should display teams on same position if they have the same points and tiebreakers, during the tournament and before. For example
Alternative 1: 1) CHI 2) COL; 3) ECU, 4) URU, 5) PAR; 6) VEN; 7) ARG, 8) BOL; 9) BRA; 10) PER. Alternative 2: 1) CHI 1) COL; 1) ECU, 1) URU, 5) PAR; 6) VEN; 7) ARG, 7) BOL; 7) BRA; 7) PER.
The exampel is for Template:2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONMEBOL table where 4 of the teams won 2-0 and they have exact same tiebreaker.
So should they all be listed at same position and should we list all teams at same position before any match is played? Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Team positions in team tables. Qed237 (talk) 13:06, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for fixing my error so quickly in UEFA_Euro_2016_qualifying. I forgot to take into account that the final position in group A can still change. I will make sure I am completely certain in the future. Kind regards, Guest9999 (talk) 18:06, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]Hi, I am not sure if I have said this before or not, but thank you for your very good work, especially on the World Cup qualification tables and articles. I have been away, and will not be here full time due to personal issues, but I know that it does not matter because you are here doing such a good work. Also on the side I want to inform you that I have been working on creating a programme for calculation possible scenarios/points. The code will calculate the possibilities of every team and group in ranking of second-placed teams and fourth-placed teams (excluding last-placed teams) as well as the possible standings within the group. This to confirm all letters.
Once again, thank you for doing a great work. Qed237 (talk) 14:51, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- I have now made a computer programme from this and I will post my results on User:Qed237/sandbox5. There teams can be compared and also groups, for example if 4 groups have "max 10 points" in runners up-table while a team will finish top 2 and have at least 11 points in runners-up then they have qualified. Qed237 (talk) 00:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- May I ask how you added palestine as X in this edit. Qed237 (talk) 00:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- They cannot finish 5th. If they finish 4th, TLS is 5th so the two wins vs Malaysia will count + 2 0–0 draws = 8 points minimum, same as Iran. 7pts is the most that can be a worse 4th. If TLS pass MAS then PLE have only 3pts but they are in top 3. Zirath (talk) 12:07, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Here are the Max and Min per group right now. (not 100% so ask if really unsure about any)
Group | MAX 2nd | MIN 2nd | MAX 4th | MIN 4th |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | 14 | 5 | 9 | 0 |
B | 15 | 6 | 7 | 1 |
C | 15 | 7 | 3 | 0 |
D | 14 | 5 | 10 | 4 |
E | 15 | 7 | 9 | 0 |
F | 13 | 6 | 6 | 0 |
G | 15 | 4 | 7 | 0 |
H | 15 | 6 | 10 | 3 |
The cut off for the 2nds table can be anywhere from 6-15pts, while the cut off for the 4ths table can be anywhere from 0-7pts Zirath (talk) 12:27, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- I will leave it for now and take a closer look at the numbers I get from my computer programme. Qed237 (talk) 15:41, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- I have corrected my computer programme with some issues I saw, but I do think it is correct now. How do you calculate your numbers? In group A I get 13 and 5 for 2nd place, and 7 and 0 for 4th place. Can you give me example on how you get 14, in other words when will that happen? Qed237 (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- My computer programme now gives you right on everything except group A. How do you do your calculations? Pen and paper or a programme? And how to you calculate scenarios before matches? Qed237 (talk) 23:48, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- I made a mistake making a summary of the teams, now I get 9 instead of 7. So I have 13-5 for second place and 9-0 for fourth place. All other groups are the same so it is just the 14 for "Max 2nd" that differs. Qed237 (talk) 11:34, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Template:AFC U16 Qualification Group G
[edit]Why you always reverse the X status for Indonesia? (X=Assured at least second place). this group stage use these rules for tie breaker:
- Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches;
- Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they met in the last round of the group;
- Disciplinary points (yellow card = 1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points, direct red card = 3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points);
- Drawing of lots.
So with Indonesia already beat Thailand and Timor-Leste, even if they lose the last match to Laos, and two of the three other teams (THA, TLS or LAO) win their remaining games, only Laos can finish above Indonesia. I said two of the three because it is impossible to have all three of THA, TLS and LAO to win all their remaining fixtures. but even if they did, still only Laos can finish above Indonesia according to the tie breaker rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zamakh1986 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

2020 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament
[edit]Hey! You recently changed the format of the qualifying format of the first round of 2020 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament. I think that that info is wrong as according to recent media news, after a number of withdrawls the format has been changed, and that is why only 6 teams will qualify to the next round. I have provided the citations in the First Round Section of the Format Section of the page. The citation is of both FIFA and AFC.--Anbans 585 (talk) 14:07, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, I do not understand why Guam are eliminated already. They may still get 9 points, enough to be runners-up. Right now it seems too soon to say runners-up with 9 points cannot be in top 5. Please explain :) Thanks Centaur271188 (talk) 16:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
I already realised they can be 5th runner up and was about to revert when you wrote this. Its almost not worth undoing tho as they will be confirmed out if Oman or Singapore win in like 20 minutes anyway. Zirath (talk) 16:23, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
