If Uruguay beats mexico, France advances with a win if the combined goal differential in the two final matches is 5 (eg Mexico loses by 2, and France wins by 3) if Mexico beats Uruguay, the combined goal differential would have to be 6.

You can subtract one (and only 1) from those numbers if it ends up that France has scored more goals then the team who loses. So, if France wins 2-0, and Uruguay wins 2-0, it would go to a random draw. If Uruguay wins 3-0, and France wins 1-0, Mexico still advances, but if France wins 3-2, France would advance.

Whatever happens, France needs to score at least 3 goals to guarantee an advance, assuming the other game isn't a huge blowout by one team.

1. Argentina

2. You're forgetting head-to-head. If France wins 2-0 and Uruguay wins 2-0, Mexico would advance by head-to-head
