Second Stage: England are qualified and must wait until after their game with Sweden to see who they face in the next round. A draw will leave them top of the table, a win could possibly send Sweden out.

England will know the permutations and it's Ecuador or Germany up next. Who do you fancy?

Sweden's narrow win over Paraguay sends the South Americans home after the group stage, but Trinidad & Tobago still have an outside chance of qualification if they beat Paraguay in their last game.

First Impressions: It looks as though England have landed lucky here with possibly the weakest group, and after an edgy win over Paraguay, qualification should be a formality. That said, the second half performance by England was truly abysmal as was the manager's. It now becomes an excellent chance to qualify easily, by beating T & T in the second game.

Sweden fans must surely be giving their team & manager (If they need a new one, we've got one they can have at a knock down price) some stick for not beating T & T, but the reality was that T & T really raised their effort for the big occasion. Good for them.

T & T will be no push over for England, but anything like a decent performance from England in the second game should be enough to send them through. T & T will be hoping for another point.

Paraguay will probably fancy their chances of beating both Sweden & T & T now to qualify, which makes the Sweden v Paraguay fixture crucial to both teams. Whoever wins it should qualify.
