According to CCTV5, the last round of Group A of the European Cup ended last night. Italy, Wales and Switzerland all finished the group game with 4 points. How will the places for the three teams to qualify be allocated?

According to the rules of the European Cup, if two or more teams in the group match have the same points, they will be ranked in the following order: first, the net goal, second, the number of goals, third, the results of the match, and finally, the points of fair competition (namely, the number of red and yellow cards). If the above indicators are the same, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots.

In Group A, Italy easily won the first place in the group with three wins, while Wales and Switzerland had the same points because they won 1:1 in the second round. The goal difference of both teams is - 1, and the number of goals is 3, so it is necessary to compare the results of the match. Since the result of the two teams is a draw, it is necessary to see the fair competition points. Wales received only one yellow card in the group match, while Switzerland received four yellow cards. Therefore, Wales' fair competition points were higher than Switzerland's, so it won the second place in the group, while Switzerland only ranked third.

So, does this mean that Switzerland has missed the knockout? Not so, because the rules of the European Cup also stipulate that in addition to the first two players in each group, there are four best third places. These four places will be selected from the third place in six groups, and the selection criteria are also in accordance with the above ranking order. At present, except for Group A, the competitions of other groups have not ended, so Switzerland still hopes to become one of the best third places. As long as their performance can surpass the third place of other groups, or at least equal to the third place of other groups, and they have an advantage in fair competition points, they are likely to advance to the knockout stage.

In order to show the current situation more intuitively, we can use the following table to compare the data of the third place of Group A and Group B that have ended the group match, and the prediction data of the third place of Group C, Group D, Group E and Group F that have not ended the group match.
