There was the England vs. Sweden game in 2006 WC as well that was played on 20th June. Don't remember much else about it really.
The only England game I can remember being played on my birthday (21st) was the Brazil game in the 2002 World Cup. What a strange day that was...but at least it's not being played on Friday. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/rJUDmEwjbFPPsrqLQnRG.gif) Ah, a 2-2 draw I think after both teams won their first two matches? I seem to recall a nice Joe Cole goal. I remember it being a draw, as I remember under Sven - England always drew against Sweden. After looking it up, it was a nothing game for England but Sweden needed a point to guarantee qualification.

That was the game where Michael Owen did his knee in the first minute and Sweden equalised in the last minute.

So is England v austra 100 per cent be week after next right And ones ends draw extra time pentlye way out Thanks g Dogs is kool No, not 100%, that's just who England would play based on how the groups look right now but everyone still has one game to play. England's 2nd Round game is likely to be next weekend (the day will depend on whether they finish 1st or 2nd), though if they end up 3rd, it would be at the start of the following week.

Table: 1. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/rou.gif) Romania 2-3 (+1) 2. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/bel.gif) Belgium 2-3 (+1) 3. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/svk.gif) Slovakia 2-3 (0) 4. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/ukr.gif) Ukraine 2-3 (-2) The result means all four teams have 3 points. According to the BBC it is the first time ever in the Euros that all four teams in a group have 3 points after two matches.

Group A: ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/sui.gif) Switzerland 1-1 Germany ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/ger.gif) ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/sco.gif) Scotland 0-1 Hungary ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/hun.gif) Table: 1. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/ger.gif) Germany (Q) 3-7 (+6) 2. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/sui.gif) Switzerland (Q) 3-5 (+2) 3. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/hun.gif) Hungary 3-3 (-3) 4. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/sco.gif) Scotland (E) 3-1 (-5) Scotland exit in the group stage yet of a major tournament yet again after conceding a last minute goal against Hungary. That said, there's no way a draw would've been enough to see Scotland through but why did they wait so long to actually have a go? Hungary finish 3rd but 3 points and a goal difference of -3 is unlikely to be enough for them to progress. Germany scored a stoppage time equaliser against Switzerland to finish top.

Typical Scotland just when you think they might just make it,they self destruct. How was 2 points ever going to get you through? Just a shame Hungary waited 90 minutes to go for it! My son was in a Budapest park with 1000s of Hungary fans watching it on a big screen, to say the scenes were mental at the end when that goal went in is an understatement! He loved every second of it!

I think James McFadden summed it up nicely at the end. I think Scotland were waiting on Hungary to commit and chase the win themselves and hit Hungary on the counter when Scotland won the ball. Instead Hungary beat them to it.
That said, Scotland should have had a penality on Orban's challenge on Armstrong. The ref seemed to imply the defender got the ball and was a fair challenge but why was there no VAR checks?

He loved every second of it! There are two groups where two teams have one point each and are not playing each other in the final matches. Therefore, each of those groups could have a team finishing third with just one point.

As , for obvious reasons, we didn’t see a proper replay, it’s hard to make a judgement.

As , for obvious reasons, we didn’t see a proper replay, it’s hard to make a judgement. I didn't see the incident live, just the aftermath but from what I saw - it was a corner situation and both the GK and Varga were going for the ball in the air through a sea of players. On that occasion, there was a VAR check done twice I believe and completed quickly.

From the brief replay we did see, it looked like Gunn got the ball first while it was in the air before the collision.

A quick 5-second glance maybe? Usually in this tournament, we get a graphic on screen or commentary would relay from the stadium that it's being checked - like with the Varga incident.
I know that's academic and you'd expect VAR to check every incident but it wasn't on this occasion. The ref I don't think has a great view of the "tackle" either.
