World Cup Group qualifying scenarios for knockout rounds

Mexico will qualify as group winners with a point against Sweden.

Nigeria Football Federation president and Member of the Organizing Committee for FIFA Competitions, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick will be on duty for the world football -governing body today, when Portugal take on Iran in Saransk. If it's Mexico, then Brazil might be happy with a draw against Serbia, as that would take them through second if Switzerland win against winless Costa Rica, setting up a likely round of 16 tie against the Central American nation, rather than Germany.

Mexico will top the group with a win or draw against Sweden.

A lot of eyes are focused on this group with Lionel Messi's Argentina facing elimination unless they beat Nigeria and Iceland fail to beat leaders Croatia, who could still drop to second if they don't win.

Wins or draws for Brazil against Serbia and Switzerland against Costa Rica will send both through.

If both Portugal and Spain win, the victor of the group comes down to goal differential.

In their match with Iran, Spain struggled against an impressively organised defence and created precious little.

Iran's 1-0 defeat of Morocco in their opening Group B encounter means their subsequent hard-luck loss to Spain by the same scoreline has not had a terminal effect on their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages.

That would leave about $120 billion of imports available for retaliatory tariffs after Saturday's announcement. Those tariffs were matched by China's threat to penalize on US exports, a move that drew the president's ire.

Their European counterparts, however, need only draw to seal qualification, and will face a team from Group A should they go through. They can also move on with a loss to the Swedes if Germany lose to or draw with South Korea, who have no points. A draw would require Spain to lose by at least two goals for Iran to advance.

Sweden is eliminated with a defeat but is guaranteed to reach the round of 16 if it beats Mexico.

Tunisia and Panama have no points ahead of their meeting, where a draw would secure third place for the North Africans.

Senegal and Colombia play off with the victor qualifying, while a draw will be enough for the African side. Entering the final matchday, both teams are +1, so whichever team's margin of victory is higher would win Group B. If the goal differentials are identical, then it comes down to goals scored in group play-entering the final matchday, both teams are level.

Group F plays before this group on Thursday, so these teams will know who has won that group.

Japan sit in the box seat here, as they meet winless, hapless and eliminated Poland on Friday at 2am.

Poland are out but Japan, Senegal and Colombia are all fighting for a place in the next round.
