RSP SG If 2 teams are level, then who goes through is determined by head to head matches, NOT goal difference. Anyway, it's very straight forward now. Win at Marseille or Out.
798 SG looking at the table, pool will be out if marseille play ultra-defensive n earn a point by drawing wif them. but there r a rare case... if besiktas won porto, n pool draw wif marseille, it will be a very interesting scenario... besiktas will be group leader and qualify wif 9 pts. porto, liverpool n marseille will be level wif 8 pts each. so the h2h will be decide. FC Porto 1 - 1 Liverpool pool earn 1 pt Liverpool 0 - 1 Marseille marseille 3 pts Marseille 1 - 1 FC Porto marseille n porto 1 pt each FC Porto 2 - 1 Marseille porto 3 pts Liverpool 4 - 1 FC Porto pool 3 pts Marseille 1 - 1 Liverpool marseille n pool 1 pt each pool beat porto, porto beat marseille n merseille beat pool, they r LEVEL in head to head!!! so the next thing will be decided by goal diff, n pool will advance since it has more goal diff compare to others. Interesting isnt it?
www SG there’s no other way to qualify except a win over marseille given that they defeated liverpool in the earlier fixture, not even with the majestic goal difference between them.
Poolman SG Yeah man , Liverpool always like that ..... heart attack . Die liao but come back alive , then bring the Cup home later .
Poolman SG If .... both teams on same points , it's the head-to-head counts . Like Marseille beat us 1-0 , return leg we beat them 2-0 , we beat them to it .
Poolman SG While watching Liverpool played last night .... I thought we were gone case liao .... Although we kept attacking , but don't seemed like scoring any .... Babel can't do a decent cross , Kewell was sent in swapping position with him . Extra ammunition for Torres . That's how we got our 2-1 lead . Although 2 men was guarding him , he managed to escape those guards , and scored . Beaitiful 20 million touch !!! Everytime we launched an attack , what Porto did , was to man-mark Torres , and yet our boyz kept passing the ball to him . I saw that and i think Benitez saw that too , that's why u saw Benitez sent in Crouch , putting an extra man inside the box .... It works ... Porto's defense went haywire .....dunno who to guard ! That Porto man has to "hand-ball" so that Crouch no chance to head !! Penalty ! See what Crouch can do ? Set-pieces !!!
Poolman SG No count like that leh .... If 3 teams on level points ..... head-to-head count first ! If Porto and Liverpool on same points , we two progress , but we will be Top , cos we beat them aggregate 5-2 . If Marseille , Porto and Liverpool same points .... still head counts . That's why UEFA encourage team to go all out each game , this head-to-head does that magic . Ya , in a way , goal diff ( between the teams ) after those head counts if still level .
Poolman SG Take a look at Crouch's goal ..... not at Crouch , but KUYT .... Kuyt actually blocked the 'keeper , this set-piece is obviously well reheare ..... all set-pieces are well rehearse . Clever Kuyt . Even the penalty .... Take a look at where Torres when Gerrard is taking the penalty , and the position Gerrard shot at goal ... Any rebounds , the ball will still end up at Torres' feet .
798 SG ultimately liverpool has to win then. it will be good dat liverpool and besiktas win, then pool will be group leader.
