Soccer: England could face Belarus/Ukraine

England will face a two-legged play-off against either Belarus or Ukraine if they need a play-off to reach next year’s World Cup finals in Japan and Korea.

Today’s draw at FIFA’s headquarters in Zurich paired whoever finishes second in Group Nine - likely to be England should they not beat Germany tomorrow with the runners-up of Group Five.

England cannot win their group unless they beat Germany in Munich while Belarus trail group leaders Poland by five points, with Ukraine a further two points behind.
