France 0-1-1 1 0 2 -2

So if Mexico loses by 1, then their goal difference would be +1. France would need to win by FOUR to get to +2, because if they get to +1, Mexico has the head to head tiebreaker.
Goals for is the second tiebreaker before head to head. SO if Mexico loses 1-0, France would advance with a 3 goal victory. If Mexico loses 2-1, France would need to win by 4 to guarantee an advancement.
