According to CCTV5 program list, the 2023 European Cup football match is in full swing, and the qualification situation of each group is becoming increasingly clear. According to the regulations of UEFA, in addition to the first two teams in each group directly reaching the top 16, there are four best third places. The third team in the six groups will be compared according to certain points rules and ranking methods to determine the team that will qualify. So, which teams are expected to be the best third? What are the scoring rules and ranking methods? Let's have a look.

First, let's look at the integration rules. In the group stage, the winner of each game will get 3 points, each side will get 1 point in a draw, and the loser will get 0 point. If two or more teams have the same points at the end of the group game, they shall be ranked in the following order:

1. Points of competitions in the group
2. Winning goal difference in group matches
3. Number of goals in group matches
4. Number of red and yellow cards in the group competition (red card counts as 3 points, yellow card counts as 1 point, and the lowest ranking is higher)
5. Fair competition ranking of competitions in the group (according to the fair competition rules of UEFA, each team will be assigned a coefficient before the game, and the higher the coefficient, the higher the ranking)
6. UEFA national team ranking (according to the UEFA national team ranking, each team will be assigned a coefficient before the game, and the higher the coefficient, the higher the ranking)

If all the above ranking methods cannot be used to determine the winner or loser, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots.

Next, let's look at the ranking method. After determining the third team in each group, the four teams with the best third place will be ranked in the following order:

1. Points in group matches
2. Winning goal difference in group match
3. Number of goals in group matches
4. Number of red and yellow cards in group matches
5. UEFA National Team Ranking

If all the above ranking methods cannot be used to determine the winner or loser, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots.

Finally, let's take a look at the current outgoing situation. Up to now, five groups have finished their competitions, and only Group F has one round of competitions left. The following is the situation of the teams that have qualified and the teams that still hope to qualify:

It can be seen from the table above that the third team in four groups has been determined to qualify, namely Wales, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Switzerland. However, the third team in Group F still has to wait for the result of the final round, which may be one of France, Germany, Portugal or Hungary. In any case, the points of the third team in Group F will not be lower than 3 points, so there is a great chance to become one of the best third teams.

give the thumbs-up fifty-one
