Or even more unrealistically, if Iran v USA was a draw, Iran and Wales could go through if England lost by 7.
So essentially, England are through but not known whether in 1st or 2nd place yet.

England are a strange team to me.
This breakdown makes it clear that getting a draw today was just fine tactically; but I watch that and see a team (manager) who's settling for being just ok and lacking the desire to be elite.
As a country that always finished just outside the winning or loses a close game to eventual winners, surely this mentality needs to change.
Get some bullocks and have some killer instinct. They played like they're trying to finish top 4 in the premier league.
