Only in the last game of Group F England secured the group victory with a thin 1-0 against the uncomfortable team from Egypt. All five previous matches ended in a draw and showed unappealing, sometimes even annoyingly bad football. The officials thus narrowly escaped a novelty, because for the first time the lot would have to decide on the entry into the round of 16 if England and Egypt had also delivered a draw. But Ireland and the Netherlands slipped into the round of 16 despite their poor performance.
