If Netherlands finish 3rd in this group and England finish top of theirs, it could well be England v Netherlands in the last 16. So we might want to deploy tactics that mean we do not beat Slovenia. I'm sure Gareth could come up with a suitable plan. Might involve TAA.

I thought it might be for geographical reasons (one side plays in the west, one in the east) but looking at the fixtures, that's clearly not the case and I can only assume it's to maximise the possibility of an Argentina v Brazil final.

If Austria beat Netherlands surely it would be better to play Netherlands are they would be worse than Austria, so far they are very poor.

Lewandowski misses with one of the worst penalties ever seen at a tournament but gets a second go because the keeper was off his line and scores.
Then Austria score again! Netherlands go from 2nd to 1st to 3rd in a matter of seconds!
1. Austria 6 (+2) 2. France 5 (+1) 3. Netherlands 4 (0) 4. Poland 1 (-3)

Both games goalless at half-time:
As it stands: 1. England 5 (+1) 2. Slovenia 3 (0) 3. Denmark 3 (0) 4. Serbia 2 (-1)
By my reckoning, Slovenia are now ahead of Denmark on disciplinary record.

I may have missed a yellow for a Slovenian official in an earlier match, which would make Denmark and Slovenia tied for 2nd and Denmark would win the final tie-breaker, which is performance in qualifying as they won their group, ahead of Slovenia. They finished level on points in qualifying too but Denmark topped the group on head-to-head.

Well England never have the best of records against Slovenia in cup competitions anyway, but at least it was slightly better performance than the Denmark game. Subs made an impact.

Group C: ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/den.gif) Denmark 0-0 Serbia ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/srb.gif) ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/eng.gif) England 0-0 Slovenia ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/svn.gif) Table: 1. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/eng.gif) England (Q) 3-5 (+1) 2. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/den.gif) Denmark (Q) 3-3 (0) 3. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/svn.gif) Slovenia (Q) 3-3 (0) 4. ![](https://worldcuptracker.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/srb.gif) Serbia 3-2 (-1) England top the group after another draw and a (slightly) better performance. Slovenia qualify for the knockout stages of a tournament for the first time but finish behind Denmark on disciplinary record. England will face either Netherlands or the 3rd place team from Group E.
