Should I get this 100% right (haha), here are the potential headlines...

'Germans crash out!'

'England through... what was all the fuss about?'

'Rejuvenated French go out on goal difference'

'Italians qualify despite drawing all three group games'

Given the current 'better than random' performance. I reckon two of these headlines will happen. Let's hope they're the first two!
