Am I missing something? Denmark, Finland and Russia all on 3. Finland with a superior GD yet still below Russia?
Edit: BBC have changed it now. Did that 3rd Dane goal make any difference? I don't see how
Feel free to pick holes in this because it's probably wrong but...
Head to head results...
Denmark 0-1 Finland Finland 0-1 Russia Russia 1-2 Denmark
Results against Belgium are irrelevant in that situation. All equal goal difference, Denmark and Russia had scored most goals so above Finland. Then Denmark beat Russia so Denmark second Russia third.
Now because Denmark are thrashing Russia, the Russians have the worst head to head goal difference between the three and will finish bottom and Denmark finish top (of the three).

I think with three teams on 3 points the head to head is discounted. So Russia bottom on GD.

I looked it up just now and you're spot on. It's basically a mini league that disregards the Belgium results hence why Finland conceding a second made no difference but Russia conceding the 4th did

You’d have thought so but apparently not because Russia were third when the score was 1-2 and they had worse overall GD (-1 Finland, -3 Russia) then.
We know three definite last 16 games now: Italy v Austria at Wembley, Wales v Denmark in Amsterdam (both on Saturday) and Belgium v Switzerland in Seville on Sunday. We know England are through but not who and where they will play.

I don't think Belgium v Switzerland is guaranteed yet. Depends on who gets through.
Belgium will play in Seville for certain but still yet to be determined who against.
Switzerland could still face the winner of Group E or Group F.

A draw for Spain will take them through if Poland fail to win. Either Germany (v Hungary) or Portugal (v France) will need to lose by 3 goals to be eliminated.
A draw between Croatia and Scotland will eliminate both. A win for either will send the victor through.
Switzerland are through. Ukraine and Finland are dependent on the above permutations.
Superb night for Denmark, very happy for them. Can’t imagine how tough the last week has been for them and to end the group in style like that is wonderful to see.
