Hitesh Posted 8 October 2005 Share Posted 8 October 2005 England qualify for the World Cup England have qualified for the 2006 World Cup, with Holland's win over the Czech Republic confirming Sven-Goran Eriksson's team's ticket to Germany. Frank Lampard's penalty gave England a 1-0 win over Austria at Old Trafford on Saturday, and that meant they only had to beat Poland on Wednesday to qualify. But Holland's 2-0 victory in Prague means that England and Poland will both take part in next year's tournament. One will go through as group winners and the other as runners-up. Wednesday's game at Old Trafford will decide which way round they finish, but it is otherwise a meaningless game. That will come as a relief to David Beckham, who is suspended for the Poland match after being sent off against Austria. Scotland are out of the World Cup though. Their 1-0 defeat at home to Belarus on Saturday virtually eliminated Walter Smith's side, and their fate was confirmed when Norway beat Moldova 1-0 at home. The mathematics of England and Poland's qualification are relatively complicated. There are eight groups within the European section of World Cup qualifying, but some have seven teams and some have six. Automatic spots at Germany go to the eight group winners, and the two runners-up with the best points tally. However, to avoid an advantage going to countries in seven-team groups - where more games are played and thus more points available - the runners-up in those groups have their records against the bottom-placed team expunged. The means the Czechs, who have 24 points, lose two victories and revert to 18 points, but had they beaten Holland they would only have slipped back to 21 points, which would have kept England sweating. As it is, whoever comes second in Group Six out of Poland and England will definitely be one of the two best runners-up, and will be going to Germany for the World Cup. Source!
