Here we go, this sums it up......

Group C

Spain (v Croatia)
Win - Secures qualification and top spot.
Draw - Secures qualification as overall goal difference better than Croatia's.
Lose - Out if Italy beat Republic of Ireland.
Draw special
At Euro 2004, Italy beat Bulgaria in their final group game but were still eliminated after Denmark and Sweden drew 2-2 to secure qualification for both on goals scored.

Croatia (v Spain)
Win - Secures qualification and top spot.
Draw - A 2-2 (or higher-scoring) draw will see them through. If it is 0-0, they are out. If they claim a 1-1 draw, Croatia will only be eliminated if Italy better or equal their 3-1 win over the Republic of Ireland.
Lose - Out if Italy beat Republic of Ireland.
Italy (v Republic of Ireland)
Win - Secures qualification if Spain or Croatia win or is a scoreless draw. If that game is a 1-1 draw, then Italy need to better or equal Croatia's 3-1 win over Ireland. If they equal it, Italy will go through because they are ranked higher than Croatia by Uefa. However, if Spain and Croatia draw 2-2 or more then Italy are out.
Draw - Out.
Lose - Out.
Republic of Ireland (v Italy)
Already eliminated .
