which teams can qualify for the quarterfinals

16 teams began the journey to the Euro on July 6, but only half will qualify for the quarterfinals.

England, Germany and France already have their ticket. On the other side of the coin, Northern Ireland and Finland have run out of options.

• Norway: only the victory against Austria is worth it to qualify as second.

GROUP C

• Sweden: will qualify if they win or draw against Portugal. It can end up level on points with the Netherlands if they get the same result (win or draw) in their match against Switzerland; in such case, first place will be decided by overall goal difference, total goals scored, disciplinary ranking or FIFA coefficient, in that order.
• Portugal: will qualify if they win their match against Sweden and Switzerland draw or lose their match against the Netherlands.
• Netherlands: will qualify if they draw or win against Switzerland (the first place situation has been explained above with Sweden).
• Swiss: will qualify if they win and Portugal lose or draw their match against Sweden.

These are the numbers in detail:

If Switzerland and Portugal win their games it will be a four-way draw in Group C and everything will be decided on overall goal difference, total goals scored, disciplinary classification and coefficient, in that order.

GROUP D

• France: ranked first in the group.
• Iceland: they will qualify if they win their match against France regardless of what happens in the other group match or if they draw their match and there is also a draw between Belgium and Italy. In the event that there is a tie and Belgium or Italy win the match between them, the classification will be decided by the criteria already seen before (goal difference, goals scored, etc.).
• Italia: they will qualify if they win their match and Iceland lose theirs or if they win theirs, Iceland draw against France and qualifying on goal difference and other criteria favors them.
• Belgium: scenario identical to that of Italy.
