.... Not that simple now is it?

It is. DK, NL and Portugal will have 3 points and NL will have superior goal score in matches played between the three.
 
Wow the Russians and the Poles are out in the group stages. Who would have thought that after the draw was announced or after the opening day matches.
The Russians must be knackered. Think it wasn't a such a bright idea to change their domestic schedule in a Euro year.
Whoever qualifies from Group B will clearly fancy their chances even though you can't rule out anything.

This is pretty ridiculous in a way:

Teams P W D L F A +/- Pts
Czech Republic 3 2 0 1 4 5 -1 6
Greece 3 1 1 1 3 3 0 4
Russia 3 1 1 1 5 3 2 4
Poland 3 0 2 1 2 3 -1 2

Czech Republic has -1 goals over 3 games and still +6 points

Greece knocks out Russia with 0 goals over 3 matches, while Russia has +2 goal differential. But since Greece beat Russia, with equal points, they advance.

Ouch.

yeah the euro / world cup ruling on that differs. I guess if this was the world cup, Russia would have advanced. It's a bit of a weird system though
