The games not to miss
- Italy v France (Thursday 12, 19:45 GMT, San Siro). Les Bleus (10 points) can seal a quarter-final place by beating Italy, who have 7. An Italian win would reopen Group A ahead of Belgium v Italy on Sunday.
- England v Croatia (Thursday 12, 19:45, Wembley). England (9 points, League A's best goal difference at +11) need only a draw to qualify. Croatia (3 points) are fighting for survival.
- Spain v England (Sunday 15, 19:45). The decider for top spot in Group C. Spain have won all four games; England have lost only once.
- Group B, the tightest. The Netherlands and Greece have 8 points, Germany 5: Germany travel to Serbia on Friday 13 then host the Netherlands on Monday 16. They probably need to win both.
- Portugal v Denmark (Saturday 14, 19:45). Already through, Portugal host Denmark (6 points), who are defending second place against Wales and Norway (3 points each).
