It's coming up to the end of the group stage at the FIFA World Cup, so we've done the hard part and broken down what each team has to do to advance to the knockout stage.

Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D | Group E | Group F | Group G | Group H

FIFA uses the following series of tiebreakers when teams finish tied with the same number of points at the end of the group stage:

Goal difference. Total goals scored. Head-to-head results (if more than two teams are tied, then results between those teams are calculated using the first two criteria). Drawing of lots.
