Regular goal difference is not used to determine the group stage of Euro 2024, unless additional options have been exhausted.
In their entry group stage matches, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain have now suffered significant losses to Scotland, Hungary, and Croatia, between. In one of those matches, Euro 2024 has featured many one-sided matters.
However, goal difference may not be as important for the defeated team as it could have been or as much of a profit for those who enjoyed those beatings as some bygone years might have been.
Typical goal difference is only the fifth criterion used at Euro 2024 when two or more teams finish level on points after all three group stage matches are finished and cleaned up.

Otherwise, the head-to-head history is more important, meaning that theoretically, teams could finish the party phase with a sizable goal difference but still be viewed as inferior to a team that scraped a few of their one-nil and lost another game seriously.
Two or more groups ' level on points may be assessed on the results of the two groups before straight-up goal difference is taken into account.
If there are just two factors involved, that is very easy, but if there are three or more, points earned between the teams involved, the difference between the teams involved, and the highest aim total scored between the three teams involved are all taken into account first, as if those three teams had participated in their own little mini-land without Germany.
If need be, mind- to- head record would then be considered once simply between two sides who also was n't get separated.
That means that the Scots ' opening game result could end up being completely irrelevant in deciding which of the three tied teams would finish second, third, and fourth if, for example, Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland all ended up with four points at the end of the group stage while Germany finished with six.
