Saint-rob v Saintbristol (MEX v SWE) 15:00 BST BBC TWO

  • Mexico need only a point against Sweden to qualify and finish top. They will go through, irrespective of their own result, if Germany fail to beat South Korea.
  • Sweden are guaranteed to qualify if they win or better Germany’s result. They will top the group if they beat Mexico and better Germany’s result.
  • Germany will qualify if they win by two or more clear goals.
  • If both Germany and Sweden draw their games, then the team in the higher-scoring game will finish second. If the matches finish with the same score, then Germany will finish second because they beat Sweden.
  • South Korea can qualify if they beat Germany and Sweden lose, and finish with a better goal difference than those two teams.

Will @SaintBristol put down the upstart @Saint-Rob? A groups with a lot to play for so hopefully not a repeat of DEVvFRA!!

Ooh there has been a goal. Will be back in a week when I work out what it means

Bloody annoyying if that OG sends Germany through (who are bound to score a 96th minute winner)

Well done @Saint-Rob and @SaintBristol, you both live to fight another day!

Bugger. Was at work and forgot this was on. Probably a good job I did forget though… “so kids, for today’s lesson, we will be analysing the use of music in popular sporting events”. Probably wouldn’t go down well with the powers that be.

Didn’t see us getting much out of today, so Germany losing is a bit of a Brucey Bonus. And England now fourth favourites to go the distance. Still don’t think I’ll put any money on them though!

My son is delighted. He was complaining when he drew Sweden in his school’s sweepstake. He’s not complaining now.
