Greece lose (and that's somewhat inevitable) and Nigeria win, they should go through. SK's goal difference is -1. Nigeria is -2.

Group Stages - how it works

Tie-breaking criteria

In the event of two or more teams being tied on points within a group, the following criteria will be used in determining who will go through to the knockout stages (in this order):

1. goal difference in all group matches
2. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches
3. greatest number of points in matches between tied teams
4. goal difference in matches between tied teams
5. greatest number of goals scored in matches between tied teams
6. drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee

So if I read this right Nigeria need 2 more goals than South Korea, as SK have scored 3 goals todate and Nigeria only 1. Still not straight forward for the Super Eagles.
 
OK, so Greece has no chance ... If we draw with Nigeria, we are through?
 
Useless Nigeria... they cant even muster the competency to hold a 1 goal lead so that Greece can go through.
