Article 15 Equality of points – league phase 15.01 If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points on completion of the league phase, the following criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine their rankings: higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question; superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question; higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question; if, after having applied criteria a) to c), teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to c) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the remaining teams to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria e) to k) apply in the order given to the two or more teams still equal; superior goal difference in all group matches; higher number of goals scored in all group matches; higher number of away goals scored in all group matches; higher number of wins in all group matches; higher number of away wins in all group matches; lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points); higher position in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League Access List [this would be England].

I just don't think we have enough presence in the centre midfield it's our biggest weakness.

What a shame for such a great crowd

Will not happen, but if by any chance it does, it will be a very big mistake.

This will be very difficult, as England will not want the embarrassment of finishing 2nd and risking staying in division B. We shall see!

8 players have pulled out of the England squad with various injuries. Amongst them are: Alexander-Arnold, Saka, Foden and Declan Rice. The 4 mentioned there are regular starters. So England won't be at full strength come game-time. They still obviously have quality all over the pitch, but it should make getting a result a touch easier. Remember a draw is enough to guarantee us top spot, with one game to spare.
