England World Cup table: Group G final positions including Belgium, Panama and Tunisia
ENGLAND World Cup table - Group G final positions.
Adnan Januzaj's stunning goal secured a much-changed Belgium side a 1-0 win over England's second string on Thursday evening and meant Gareth Southgate's men will face Colombia in the last 16 of the World Cup.
What looked like being one of the ties of the group stage instead became a rather strange encounter given the talk about the most favourable knockout route, including suggestions that finishing runners-up may be preferable.
Southgate dismissed that before seeing his team suffer their first defeat in a year, with Januzaj's superb effort six minutes into the second half securing a narrow victory which earned Belgium top spot in Group G and a last-16 tie against Japan.
Tunisia's Wahbi Khazri, meanwhile, set up the first goal and scored the second to give the North African side their first World Cup win in 40 years with a 2-1 victory over debutants Panama in their final Group G match on Thursday.
