Add The New York Post on Google Though England clinched a spot in the knockouts as a result of yesterday’s matches, the Three Lions’ match today against eliminated Panama still holds meaning.
With four points in the tournament across two games, it’s enough to qualify England as one of the eight best third-place teams. Four points is also enough to tie England with Ghana for first place in Group L (though England leads Ghana on goal differential), with a chance for them to clinch first place in the group based on today’s results.
Where they land in the knockouts will be depending on their result, and the result of Ghana-Croatia, today.
If England finish first in the group, they will play a Round of 32 match in Atlanta next Wednesday against a third-placed team, currently likely to be Senegal or Congo DR. A second place finish would find them in Toronto facing the second-place team in Group K.
