[b]Scenarios for Group A Seeding:[/b]
– Norway: If Norway beats or draws against Romania they take 1st, if they lose they take 2nd
– Romania: If Romania beats Norway they finish 1st, otherwise they take 2nd .
– France: If France beats or draws against China, they will take 3rd. If they lose, they will likely slip to 4th. And in the event of a 3 way France, China and Kazakhstan a 4 goal loss would slip them to 5th place
– China: The simplest way for China to qualify is for Kazakhstan to lose to Angola. If that doesn’t happen they can still advance if they can beat France by 4 goals
– Kazakhstan: If they beat Angola they will likely get 4th place. A draw will put them in 4th place if China loses or draws against France. A loss to Angola puts them no better than 5th
– Angola: They need a 13 goal victory over Kazakhstan and China to lose to France in order to take 4th place

[b]Scenarios for Group B Seeding:[/b]
– Russia: If they beat or draw against Germany they will take 1st. Even if they lose, they will probably take 1st unless South Korea can overtake them on Goal differential
– South Korea: If they beat or draw Hungary they will likely take 2nd. If they lose, they could be either 3rd or 4th.
– Hungary: If they beat Korea they will take 2nd. If they lose they could be either 3rd or 4th depending on their tiebreakers if they are level with Brazil
– Brazil: If Brazil beats Sweden they will place either 3rd or 4th depending on the outcome of the Korea – Hungary match
– Sweden: If Sweden beats Brazil they will get 4th place.
– Germany: They need a miracle. The only scenario by which they get 4th is a Sweden – Brazil draw, combined with them upsetting Russia.
