Its Croatia again for England

England will play Croatia again in the qualification for World Cup 2010 in South Africa after today failing to be top seeded. However, there was some good news as they avoided the likes of Italy and Germany.

The Three Lions failed to book their place in Euro 2008 after suffering a heartbreaking 3-2 home defeat to Croatia.

England were fearing the worst in the WC qualifiers as they were not top-seeded after dropping to 12th place in FIFA rankings.

However, their fears were alleviated after the draw, which was held in Durban city, did not put them in a tough challenge against the likes of Italy, France, Spain, Holland and Germany.

Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra will also play in Group 6.
