Most likely scenario - Italy beat Costa Rica (although far from a given),
England beat Costa Rica (just because it's the sort of gesture we make!)
while Italy and Uraguay play out a convenient draw that sees them both
through.

That had ocurred to me too.
Or at the very least Italy 'rest' players having already beaten
Costa Rica and qualified.

And if they fail to beat them, well it's all over for England anyway......
