THE PERMUTATIONS
So, Portugal are already through, and a draw today gets them top spot. As for the other qualifer? Well, it's all to play for.
Ghana go through if they win, whereas South Korea will reach the round-of-16 if they're victorious and Ghana draw.
The equation for Uruguay is that they need to win and for South Korea to lose. Complicated? A little bit
