England failed to play their final FIFA World Cup group stage match
Access to the stage is guaranteed.
England have picked up four points from their opening two matches, taking their place in the third-best of the eight teams at least.
In the group stage, England beat Croatia 2-4 in their first match and held off Ghana 0-0 in the second match.
Meanwhile, Uruguay’s defeat to Spain allowed England to progress to the next round.
Although Sweden, Ecuador, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Paraguay are there with 4 points each, the results of the different groups strengthened the position of the England team.
