England has qualified for the 2014 Brazil World Cup after beating Poland 2-0 and topped their group.

According to the Mirror, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney both scored in a thrilling Wembley win that saw England top Group H.

Manager Roy Hodgson and his backroom staff deserved their hugs of delight, although the body language of the players as they walked on their lap of honour suggested they recognised it was only the end of Part One, the report said.

If England had not been able to win this match, they would have had to compete in the playoffs to qualify for the World Cup.
