According to CCTV5 program list (January 26, 2024), the European Cup group matches have entered the final round, and the situation of some groups' qualification is still complicated, even the situation of multiple teams with the same score has occurred, which requires some complex scoring rules and ranking methods to determine which teams can advance to the knockout stage and which teams will go home early. So, what are the scoring rules and ranking methods of the European Cup? Now, let's give you a detailed explanation.

First of all, we should make it clear that the number of qualifying places in the European Cup group matches is limited, only the first two of each group can directly qualify, and the remaining four best third places should also be selected from six groups, that is, the third place of two groups will not be eliminated. Therefore, if the same score occurs, it is necessary to rank according to the following rules:

• If two or more teams have the same points after the group match, the first thing to compare is the points of their direct confrontation, that is, only look at the results of their competitions, ignoring other competitions.
• If the points of direct confrontation are still the same, then the difference between them is the goal difference, that is, only the difference between the number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded between them, the larger the better.
• If the net goal of direct confrontation is still the same, then the comparison is the number of goals between them, that is, just look at the number of goals between them, the more the better.
• If the number of goals in direct confrontation is still the same, then the comparison is the number of red and yellow cards. That is to say, it depends on their disciplinary performance in the group match. The better, the better. The specific calculation method is to deduct one point for each yellow card and three points for each red card. If two yellow cards turn into one red card in a game, four points will be deducted. The higher the points, the better.
• If the number of red and yellow cards is still the same, then their UEFA national team rankings will be compared again, that is, depending on their official rankings before the start of the European Cup, the higher the better.

The above rules are for the same team in the same group. If you want to compare the third place of different groups, you need to use another set of rules, as follows:

• If two or more teams have the same points as the third team, the first thing to compare is their goal difference, that is, the difference between their goals minus the number of goals conceded, the larger the better.
• If the goal difference is still the same, then the comparison is the number of their goals. In other words, it depends on the number of their goals. The more the better.
• If the number of goals is still the same, then their red and yellow cards will be compared again, that is to say, it depends on their discipline performance in the group match, the better the better. The specific calculation method is the same as above.
• If the number of red and yellow cards is still the same, then their UEFA national team rankings will be compared again, that is, depending on their official rankings before the start of the European Cup, the higher the better.

These are the points rules and ranking methods of the European Cup. I believe you have a certain understanding. At present, the European Cup group matches have seen many teams sharing the same point, such as Switzerland and Wales in Group A, Finland and Russia in Group B, Ukraine and Austria in Group C, Czech Republic and England in Group D, Sweden and Slovakia in Group E, France and Germany in Group F. The fate of these teams will depend on the results of the last round of the game, and may also depend on the number of red and yellow cards or UEFA national team rankings. The following is the current scoreboard of each group, which shows the advantages and disadvantages of some teams.
