 Well done to everyone that got it. I'm interested to know how people approached it. Trial and error? Or did you work it out through deduction?

Treat it like a Sudoku. Work out one part of the puzzle and the rest will fall into place.

 I got sent this at work and thought others might like to give it a go!

England's group finishes like this:

England - F 7 / A 1 / P 9
Belgium - F 3 / A 3 / P 4
Tunisia - F 2 / A 3 / P 4
Panama - F 1 / A 6 / P 0

England beat Tunisia 3 - 0. What are the rest of the results?

Answers in a spoiler please!

England 2 - 1 Belgium
Tunisia 2 - 0 Panama

Deduction and the old fashioned pen and paper!
I'm a modern man. I built a spreadsheet! I also thought about how I could write a program that would just work it out for you... <coat>
What's a spreadsheet?

I waited for somebody else to do it and then looked at their answers.

 Just sat for 20 minutes and worked this cronut out only to come on here and discover the condition that England have beaten Tunisia 3.0. Didn’t see that so in my version they won 2.0. f***s sake.
I spent about 5 seconds.
