Well two rounds are complete and a picture of the knock out round teams is starting to emerge. If I'm reading things correctly it looks like this:

Group A - Qatar is out. The Netherlands is in if they win or draw against Qatar, lose by less than one goal or Ecuador beats Senegal. Ecuador is in with a win or draw. Senegal is in with a win.

Group B - England is in with a win or draw against Wales. Either Iran or the USA is in with a win. If they draw then the USA is out and it will depend upon the England-Wales game.

Group C - Poland is in with a win or draw against Argentina, Argentina is in with a win against Poland. If Argentina loses then they're out. Saudi Arabia is in with a win against Mexico. If Saudi Arabia loses then they're out.

Group D - France is in. If either Australia or Denmark wins they're in. If they draw then Denmark is out and it will depend upon the France-Tunisia game.

Group E - Spain is in with a win or draw against Japan. Japan is in with a win against Spain. Costa Rica is in with a win against Germany. Germany is in if it beats Costa Rica and Spain beats Japan.

Group F - Croatia is in with a win or draw against Belgium, Belgium is in with a win against Croatia. Morocco is in with a win or draw against Canada. Canada is out.

Group G - Brazil is in. Switzerland is in with a win against Serbia. If they draw with Serbia then they're in if Cameroon doesn't beat Brazil. Serbia is in if they beat Switzerland and Cameroon doesn't beat Brazil. Cameroon needs to beat Brazil and then it will depend upon the result in the Switzerland-Serbia game.

Group H - Portugal is in. Ghana is in with a win against Uruguay or if they draw and South Korea doesn't beat Portugal. South Korea can only win via tie breaker if they beat Portugal either with Uruguay if Uruguay beats Ghana or with Ghana if Ghana and Uruguay draw. Uruguay is in if they beat Ghana and South Korea doesn't beat Portugal.
