Top 5 teams which may not qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup

England are almost assured of qualification but the math never lies.

As of now, England are only assured of a playoff spot. They have a slim 1-point lead in their group with Ukraine close behind. And England’s next opponents are Poland while Ukraine face San Marino (A team that has lost all its 9 matches so far, conceding 46 goals in the process and scoring just 1).

This won’t be the first time England haven’t qualified for the World Cup. They failed to qualify in 1994 as well, which led to widespread outrage and was a crucial factor in the resignation of the then England manager Graham Taylor.
