Cutting it close today, aren't we?

I've got Matchcast on Ukraine/Tunisia, since only by unimaginable circumstances will the Spain/Saudi match matter at all. Ukraine needs only a draw, Tunisia must win to advance.

Tunisia is starting 8 men carrying yellow cards, so even if they do advance to play the winner of Group G, they may do so short-handed.

In Group G...

Switzerland advances with a draw or win over Korea -- and wins the group with a win or likely wins the group with a draw (unless France beats Togo by 3 goals).

Korea advances with a win, a French loss or draw, or a French win by 1 goal over Togo. Korea wins the group by beating Switzerland.

France must win to advance. If Switzerland/Korea does not end in a draw, any win is sufficient (and France will take second in the group), otherwise they must beat Togo by two goals to finish 2nd in the group, or 3 goals to win the group.

Togo cannot advance, and is only playing the role of spoiler today.
