England Euro 2016 permutations: Who can the Three Lions face in last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final?

England were pipped to top spot in Group B by British rivals Wales on Monday night and their failure to beat both Russia and Slovakia could have grave consequences for the Three Lions. 
Roy Hodgson's future will be called into question if England fail to make it to the quarter-finals, at the very least, and he has come under heavy criticism following his latest blunder. 
The former Liverpool and Fulham boss decided to ring the changes by dropping the likes of Wayne Rooney, Dele Alli and Harry Kane to the bench. 
So just how severe could his error prove to be? Here, Sportsmail lists England's possible opponents following Monday's 0-0 draw with Slovakia.

Having finished second in Group B, Hodgson's side will meet the runners-up in Group F.
The Three Lions will have to make the lengthy trip to Nice to play on Monday night at 8pm (BST). 
They would have played in Paris on Saturday afternoon (5pm BST) if they topped Group B.
The current runners-up are Iceland but Group F is not concluded until Wednesday afternoon. 
All four teams - Hungary, Iceland, Portugal and Austria - could finish second and therefore face England in the next round.
