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

Group E

Italy have already qualified for the next round whilst also confirming their position as the champions of the group. Belgium need only a point to clinch second spot in the group.

Sweden, meanwhile, can only qualify if they win against Belgium. If both Sweden and the Umbro sponsored Ireland win, then it will come down to goal difference, then goals scored, then fair play record and even if that doesn’t work out, it will all be down to their respective co-efficients.

For Ireland, a win is the need of the hour. After having impressed in their first encounter against Sweden, they were expected to continue the same against Belgium.

However, things didn’t go to plan in their match against Belgium, despite the tremendous crowd support, with all the Irish fans wearing their Umbro designed Royal Green jersey proudly, as they continued to cheer their team, as they suffered a tough loss.

A good move could be removing Ciaran Clark and getting Richard Keogh, who sports the Umbro Medusae, a boot known for being lightweight and providing good speed, in, to help solidify the defence and provide more rugged protection to the goal.
