Who will England face in the last 16?

The Three Lions needed just a point against Wales in their final group game to be guaranteed top spot in Group B, and they ultimately got the job done against Rob Page's side.

A Marcus Rashford double and a goal from Phil Foden secured the win and first place, with USA finishing two points behind them.

After winning the group, the Three Lions will be paired against the runners-up in Group A, which is Senegal.

If England had finished runners-up, they would've been paired with Group A winners Netherlands.
