Notes

England had been placed among the top eight seeds for the 2006 World Cup.  Sven-Göran Eriksson's side were in a top pool of hosts Germany, holders Brazil as well as Argentina, France, Italy, Spain and Mexico.  England will avoid meeting those countries when the draw for the tournament is made on Friday evening.  For the draw on Friday, around 3,700 people will be present in the auditorium at the huge trade fair hall in Leipzig's Neue Messe exhibition centre.  Under the seeding system used by Fifa, England came out second to Brazil while Netherlands and the US finished just outside the top eight countries.
