Only home nations that are doing the home nations proud are the ones who are loyal to the queen. Coincidence? I think not.
please log in to view this image Albania beat Romania 1-0 on Sunday, their first win at a major tournament. They now face a three-day wait to find out if they will progress to the last 16 as one of the best third-place sides. Group B England will win the group if they beat Slovakia, and will qualify even with a draw. However, in that instance they will be knocked off top spot if Wales beat Russia. If England lose, they could finish as low as third. Wales will go through with victory against Russia, who are bottom of the group but could still qualify with a win. A draw would be enough for Wales if Slovakia do not beat England. If Wales lose, they may finish bottom. Group C Group leaders Germany are likely to qualify even if they lose to Northern Ireland - because they are on four points and cannot finish bottom of the group. With three points, Northern Ireland top the third-place finishers at the moment - and they will go through if they beat Germany. A draw would be enough for second place if Ukraine beat Poland, and Michael O'Neill's side could even progress if they lose. Poland will go through if they beat Ukraine, who were the only team to be knocked out after two games. Group D Spain are through but will finish second if they are beaten by Croatia, who need only a draw to ensure progression. Should Croatia lose, the Czech Republic will finish level with them on four points if they beat Turkey, with goal difference or disciplinary records likely to decide who takes second spot. Turkey will finish third if they win. Group E Italy have already secured their place in the last 16 and are guaranteed group winners, while Belgium, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland will contest second and third places. The Republic must win to stand any chance of qualifying, although Martin O'Neill's team - currently bottom of the table - may have to settle for third place if Belgium beat Sweden. The winners of the Belgium-Sweden game will go through as runners-up. Group F Many expected Portugal to top this group but they are currently third, without a win in two games. If they beat Hungary they will be guaranteed a top-two finish, while a point for Hungary would be enough to see them through. Iceland could top the group if they beat bottom-placed Austria, and will progress if they match or better Portugal's result. The Nigels will be lining up in the tunnel tonight with quivering farters, the sweat dripping, as they see the steely-eyed Slovaks line-up next to them. Woy's Boys don't have the mettle.
