WOMEN'S WORLD CUP GROUP STAGE PERMUTATIONS
* GROUP A
Switzerland (5 points), Norway (4), New Zealand (4), Philippines (3)
Switzerland and Norway through to the knockout rounds after Sunday night's final group games.
* GROUP B
Nigeria (4), Canada (4), Australia (3), Ireland (0)
Monday 8pm (AEDT): Australia v Canada - Melbourne, Ireland v Nigeria - Brisbane
Australia must win against Canada to get through, unless Ireland beat Nigeria handily, which means the Matildas can qualify with a draw. Canada get through with at least a draw, as do Nigeria. Ireland are out.
* GROUP C
Spain (6), Japan (6), Costa Rica (0), Zambia (0)
Monday 5pm (AEDT): Spain v Japan - Wellington, Costa Rica v Zambia - Hamilton
Spain and Japan are both through. Japan can pinch top spot with a win over Spain, who only need a draw. Costa Rica and Zambia are both out.
* GROUP D
England (6), Denmark (3), China (3), Haiti (0)
Tuesday 9pm (AEDT): China v England - Adelaide, Haiti v Denmark - Perth
England are through with a draw against China, but otherwise it's complicated. For Denmark and China, a win should do it, but it may go to a tie-breaker (goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head result, fair play) depending on the other result. Haiti need to win and hope England do as well to take it to a tie-breaker.
* GROUP E
USA (4), Netherlands (4), Portugal (3), Vietnam (0)
Tuesday 5pm (AEDT) - USA v Portugal - Auckland, Netherlands v Vietnam - Dunedin
USA and the Netherlands will each progress with a win or draw. The Netherlands can even lose so long as the USA win. Portugal progress by beating USA, or drawing if Vietnam win.
* GROUP F
France (4), Jamaica (4), Brazil (3), Panama (0)
Wednesday 8pm (AEDT) - Jamaica v Brazil - Melbourne, Panama v France - Sydney
France are through with a draw against Panama, and can even lose if Jamaica beat Brazil. Jamaica are through with a draw against Brazil, while Brazil must beat Jamaica to be sure of getting through. Panama are done.
* GROUP G
Sweden (6), Italy (3), South Africa (1), Argentina (1)
Wednesday 5pm (AEDT) - Argentina v Sweden - Hamilton, South Africa v Italy - Wellington
Sweden are through. If Italy win they join them, while a draw should be enough unless Argentina upset Sweden. South Africa must win and also hope that upset doesn't happen. Argentina need to win and hope.
