Rome (Italpres) – 1st and not out. England closed out Group D by winning the second of three races. At Wembley, against the Czech Republic, the players of Coach Southgate won 1–0 in the first win against Croatia thanks to a goal from decisive scorer Raheem Sterling. This is a knockout for the Czechs who hijacked them to third place, behind Croatia, despite having achieved mathematical merit based on the results of the other groups. Scotland, for its part, remembers the appointment with history, while Croatia boasts the highest quality and tops the group by second thanks to one more goal than the Czech Republic. In Glasgow, World The U.K.’s vice-champions go 3–1 dragged by Modric and Perisic in what was a real playoff.
