Let's have a look at Honduras, then...
Substitutions :
From what I gather and the remnants of the Fantasy Euro:
You select your team prior to the first game of group A.
Say you have fielded a 2 attacker team.
On the pitch is a player who doesn't score a single goal. On the bench is one who, in real life, scores twice.
Next day, your second selected striker, playing in group B, is not thrown onto the turf.
Then you can sigh in relief, he'll be automatically replaced by the benched hotshot, provided you placed him at the top of the list of benched attackers.
The substitution will occur after the last game of group H.
I don't know if a whole team can be automatically replaced, or if there's a limit of substitution per line. I'd say, quite positively, that if one player misses in midfield, he'll be replaced by a midfielder, no matter the score of other blokes.
Paul : your point was clear.
And you were probably safe from what's being said about the team here... Gourcuff being isolated (the young playmaker whose Bordeaux side collapsed in Ligue 1 this season) within the group by the tougher ones, like Anelka... the whole right flank being dumped by the press (hard for them to cope with Evra-Malouda-Ribéry's form)... destination disaster... one victory perhaps... hardly a clean sheet for Lloris (who kept Real Madrid out of the way to the Champions League semis)... add to that that the deputy-minister of sports said she thought the hotel les Bleus were staying at was way too expensive, and that the federation would have to answer a few questions...
When you see my team, you'll see where my hopes lie for group A... but I'll be happy to see the team play a fourth match...
Nani's out of the Cup now...
Time for the games to start; who will it be tomorrow?
