If Hungary wins, Turkey is in and Albania stay alive for the time being.

With 24 teams in the group stages at Euro 2016, that does not divide neatly into 16 qualifying for the knockout stages.

So they play 36 games to eliminate the first 8 teams. Then they play 15 games to eliminate 15 teams and produce a champion. I never did like the format. The group stage is basically a glorified warm-up. A 24-team double-elimination tournament would be 47 games (4 fewer), and every one would be meaningful to both teams.

I guess the downside is there would be no 3-game guarantee. Six teams would be done after two games, although some teams are already practically eliminated after 2 games anyway, so I'm not sure it's that big a deal.

This may be the greatest Homer call of All Time

It’s even better than the “DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! AAAAAAAAAAAAGH! “ call in the ‘98 World Cup
