Looking at the race for best third placed team
Group A
Romania v Albania - Anything other than a Romanian win or a huge Albanian win.
Group C
A heavy Northern Irish defeat to Germany.
Group D
Czech Republic v Turkey - Anything other than a Czech Republic win
Group E
Belgium and Italy to not lose their games to Sweden and Ireland respectively
Group F
Hungary to beat Portugal (would be great to see Ronaldo out before Iceland).

It is in Wales' own hands to be fair.Originally Posted by jamieccfc
Thanks for that BIS, has saved me spending the day working out the permutations!!!
Yes, it's in our hands and a point should be enough.
Slight disadvantage being the second group to complete. Let's hope we're not biting our finger nails until 10.00pm on Wednesday.
Yep thanks for posting that. I thought your post on this was a like premature last week. Not now. We now know who needs what. Pot E looks our best hope followed by C and then A. We could have done without Northern Ireland scoring a second goal.
Here's another interpretation of how it could go

That's pretty sobering reading. I really hope the lads can get some sort of result against Russia.
Group F should be OR not AND.
If Hungary beat Portugal, Portugal are left on 2 points - Iceland 2, Austria 1. If Austria beat Iceland, it will be Hungary 7, Austria 3, Iceland 2, Portugal 2. If Austria and Iceland draw, it is Hungary 7, Iceland 3, Portugal 2, Austria 2. If Iceland win, Hungary 7, Iceland 5, Portugal 2, Austria 2.
So, Group F only requires Hungary to beat Portugal.
Albania are beating Romania at the moment, if that stays the same that'll be one ticked off before we kick a ball.
So that's ticked off... One more to go...
As long as we don't lose by three or more goals!!!!
I assume it'll be goal difference followed by goals scored?
Yes.
Yes.
18.03 The four best third-placed teams are determined according to the following criteria applied, in the order given, to the final tournament group matches: a. higher number of points obtained; b. superior goal difference; c. higher number of goals scored; d. fair play conduct in the final tournament as defined in Annex C.5.1; e. position in the UEFA national team coefficient rankings (see Annex B.1.2.b).

Reports are saying England could rest up to 6 players for tonight's game with Slovakia. Massive gamble that is considering they'd be looking to win the group by beating the Slovaks. old Woy must think it's won already.
It sounds worse than it is. Two of the changes are obvious - Sturridge and Vardy start. He's changing the fullbacks, but bringing in Clyne and Bertrand who are both very quick and decent enough. Rooney being rested is about the only one to raise any eyebrows.
Not so much a gamble as improving the team, I'm sorry to say.
Don't apologise, it's okay.
I'm sorry because I wish they were putting out a shite team.
Added to that you have players coming in wanting to stake a claim on starting places for the knockout stages
