Wait, some1 explain how Russia are out again.

Its by points, followed by head to head result, then goal difference

russia losing this game leaves them on the same points as greece, greece go through on head to head though

Here are some simple, uncomplicated facts. Germany simply need a draw or better to guarantee their qualification.

If Denmark beat Germany then they are guaranteed to qualify, either at the expense of Portugal or Germany. If Denmark lose to Germany then they cannot qualify for the quarter-finals under any circumstances.

If both Denmark v Germany and Portugal v Netherlands were to end in a draw, Portugal would go through thanks to head-to-head record vs Denmark. If Portugal lose, Denmark would only need a point to secure qualification. If Denmark lose, then Portugal would only need a point to secure qualification.

Netherlands only hope is to beat Portugal and hope that Germany beat Denmark. Even then it would come down to a mini-league. This is where it gets a little tricky…

Calculators at the ready

If after the third round of matches two or more teams are tied on points (for example if Denmark or Portugal were both to win, or if Germany and the Netherlands were both to win), the teams that qualify would then be decided by a mini-league, based on just the results involving the tied nations.

Since all teams in the mini-league would automatically be level on points, qualification would then be decided on goal difference. If goal difference were equal then it would then come down to goals scored. If two teams are then still tied the mini-league would shrink to only include those two teams, with the same criteria (goal difference and goals scored) being applied. If there is still nothing to choose between the two teams tied, it would then come down to goal difference and goals scored in the original group league with all four teams involved.

For Portugal to qualify, the simplest way of thinking about it is that they must match Denmark’s result against Germany.

The only way that they could do so and still go out would be if both teams were to score three goals or more and win by a margin of one (3-2, 4-3, 5-4, etc), since Germany and Portugal would have identical goal difference but Germany would go through thanks to their head-to-head record against Portugal. But that outcome is unlikely.

The drama tomorrow is going to be a madness!
