Euro 2016 permutations and combinations: Which teams can make it to the knockout rounds?

Group C

The Germans will definitely go to the next round with as little as a draw. A win assures their place as group champions, and if they draw, they need Poland to drop points.

The Poles could finish as group champions with a win that exceeds Germany’s winning margin by two goals, or if the Germans draw/lose against Northern Ireland. If Northern Ireland lose against Germany, Poland would need only a draw to ensure a top two finish.

For Northern Island, the equation couldn’t get any simpler: a win takes them to the next round, a draw or loss gives them a third-placed finish as Ukraine are already out of the competition.
