France beat Sweeden 3-2 and we beat Ukraine 2-0. We'd be exactly level, who would get first place?

Toss a coin ?

E comes before F.

Tie-breaking criteria

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (according to paragraphs 8.07 and 8.08 of the regulations, and amendment to 8.07 adopted by the UEFA Executive Committee):

1. Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
   
2. Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points);
   
3. Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points);
   
4. If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3 to more than two teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine the final rankings of the two teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 10 apply in the order given;
   
5. Superior goal difference in all group matches;
   
6. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
   
7. If two teams which are tied in all criteria 1 to 6 play their last group match against each other (i.e., the result is a draw and the two teams have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored), and provided no other teams within the group have the same number of points, the ranking of the two teams in question is determined by penalty shoot-out. Otherwise, criteria 8 to 10 apply in the order given;
   
8. Position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system;
   
9. Fair play conduct of the teams (final tournament);
   
10. Drawing of lots.

Note: As all teams have different UEFA national team coefficient, the last two tie-breakers (fair play conduct and drawing of lots) will never be applied in this tournament.

So its a pen shoot out?

No - because England are not playing France in the last game!

The rankings would be used - so England would be top!

1 ) Spain 39'964
2 ) Germany 38'294
3 ) Netherlands 37'821
4 ) Italy 35'838
5 ) England 34'819
