I found this on soccernet.
A lot of people were wondering what they need to go through so here it is.

Group B
France: Only need a draw with Switzerland to go through. Victory would guarantee top place in the group. Defeat would see Switzerland move above them in the table, and France would be eliminated if either Croatia or England were also to win.
England: A point will guarantee the runners-up spot in the group. They can top the group with victory over Croatia, should France fail to beat Switzerland. They can also top the group with a draw if France were to lose. Defeat would mean elimination.
Croatia: Have to beat England to qualify. They can top the group should France fail to win and Croatia win by a scoreline of 2-0 or greater.
Switzerland: Must beat France to have any chance of making the last eight. They will go through should either Croatia or England win, but if that game finishes level, then Switzerland would have to beat France by three goals to progress.
Group C
Sweden: Only need a draw with Denmark to qualify as group winners. Defeat would still see them qualify if Italy failed to beat Bulgaria.
Denmark: Will definitely go through should they win or draw 2-2, or higher, with Sweden. Defeat would still see them qualify if Italy failed to beat Bulgaria. See 'Italy' for other draw permutations.
Italy: Must beat Bulgaria to stand any chance of making the knockout stages.
An win, coupled with a victory for either Denmark or Sweden, will send them through.
If Sweden and Denmark draw 0-0, then Italy will go through ahead of the Danes as they scored a goal against Sweden.
If Sweden and Denmark draw 1-1, then Italy will have to win by at least two goals to put themselves in contention. Should they win by two goals, any other scoreline than 2-0, they will go through.
If Sweden and Denmark draw 1-1, and Italy win 2-0, it will go to the next factor. That is points gained in the qualifing competitions for the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004. Both gained 37 points. But Italy have a goal difference of +25 to Denmark's +22, so Italy would go through.
If Sweden and Denmark draw 2-2, Italy are out regardless of their performance against Bulgaria. This is because, when points are level, the first factor is results between the sides involved. A 2-2 draw will give Denmark and Sweden superior goals scored. Thus, Italy will be out even if they win 46-0.
Italy can only top the group if Denmark and Sweden draw 0-0, and Italy beat Bulgaria by 7-1 or a equivalent higher score, or by winning by seven goals, due to points gained in the qualifing competitions for the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004.
Bulgaria: Eliminated.
Group D
Czech Republic: Qualified as group winners.
Germany: Victory will guarantee runners-up spot. They could go through by drawing with the Czech Republic, should Holland and Latvia also draw.
Netherlands: A win for Holland will only be any good should Germany fail to beat group winners the Czech Republic. A draw could put them into contention.
Should Germany lose and Holland and Latvia be involved in a scoring draw, Holland will go through on goals scored between the three sides on two points.
Should Germany lose and Holland and Latvia be involved in a goalless draw, Holland will go through - unless Germany lose by one goal in a scoreline of 2-3 or equivalently greater.
Latvia: A win for Latvia will only be any good should Germany fail to beat group winners the Czech Republic. They can only go through by beating Holland, as a draw would rule them out due to Holland's 1-1 draw with Germany, coupled with Latvia's goalless draw.
Hope this helps. :)
