D-day for Town stars as Cup fate to be sealed

one another in their second match as France won, meaning the French will go through to the Round of 16 alongside either Mooy’s Australia or Zanka and Lossl’s Danes.

The Socceroos need to beat Peru in their final match to have any hope of qualification, but also need Denmark to lose and for there to be a two-goal swing in their favour.

Should Australia beat the South American side 1-0 and Denmark lose 2-1 to France, the goal difference, goals scored and goals conceded would be identical between both sides.

That means the teams would therefore be separated by fair play record, but should both have the same number of bookings and red cards, lots will be drawn to determine which nation advances.

Should either side finish second in their group they will face the winners of Group D in the Round of 16, while the winners of Group C will face the runners up of Group D.

Croatia currently lead Group D and are likely to claim top spot, while Nigeria, Iceland and Argentina are all battling it out for second spot - the African side being two points ahead of the rest with one match to go.

Australia kick off against Peru at 3pm tomorrow on ITV4, while Denmark take on France at the same time on ITV1.

Ramadan Sobhi will return home after signing off his World Cup campaign with Egypt with a loss to Saudi Arabia.

The Town winger, who was bought from Stoke City for £5.7m just before the tournament, played 26 minutes in the Pharaohs’ final clash - his most minutes of any game.

Ramadan unfortunately could not inspire his side to victory after his introduction, with Egypt conceding a late winner to the Saudis.
