Should Germany, Croatia and Poland all finish on six points it would depend on how many goals Poland beat Croatia by in the final game. A two-goal win would take them through with Germany, but if they only win by one goal, they would go out having scored less goals in head-to-head games invoving the other two teams...I think. Phew, my head hurts! Does this make sense?
