Euro 2024 group scenarios: How each team advances to the Round of 16

Gareth Southgate hasn't had everything his own way so far at Euro 2024, but as the second round of matches approaches in Group C the England head coach is in an enviable position that every other manager in the tournament would welcome.

England is the only team with the potential to secure a first-place finish in its group with a game to spare, though that outcome is not totally within the control of Southgate and his players.

However, if Slovenia's clash with Serbia in Thursday's early game ends in a tie, and Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and company defeat Denmark, they would become the first squad officially inked into their place in the knockout bracket.

"Obviously, we are here to go as far as we can," Southgate told reporters. "There is a job to be done and it starts with taking care of business in the group."

Other teams have the ability to secure qualification in their second game — Germany did so with its victory on Wednesday — though top spot in Group A remains up for grabs for both those nations.

Here we take a look at what each and every team needs to do in order to keep its dream alive of going all the way to the final in Berlin on July 14.
