ENGLAND'S GOLDEN HOPES WAIT ON THE NETHERLANDS

England's girls have won at least a silver in the European Youth Nations Tournament in Edinburgh. Playing Ireland in their last game this morning, Charlotte Craddock scored once in each half to give England a 2-0 victory. According to our calculations - and the rules for the final rounds of this tournament are a bit obscure - England now have seven points in the promotion pool. Germany play the Netherlands later today. A victory by Germany would put them on the same points as England but, following their 10-0 thrashing of Ireland yesterday, Germany have an uncatchable goal difference. A win or draw by the Netherlands would give England the gold.
