In plain language
- England are currently 1st in Group L on 3 points, with Ghana left to play.
- A win over Ghana sends England through in most scenarios, but they may still need other results to go their way.
- A draw likely leaves England dependent on the third-place ranking.
- A loss — especially by two or more — almost certainly eliminates England unless several third-place teams collapse.
- Best result for England: England beat Ghana + Croatia beat Panama + England beat Panama + Croatia beat Ghana.
- If England finish third, qualification depends on being one of the eight best third-placed teams.
