England have been named amongst the top seeds for next summer's World Cup finals.
Sven Goran Eriksson's men have been chosen among the top eight seeds for the finals in Germany.
The decision was taken by the World Cup Organising Committee in Leipzig on Tuesday.
The other seven seeds are hosts Germany, holders Brazil, Italy, France, Argentina, Spain and Mexico.
The Three Lions actually came out second behind Brazil in the system used by Fifa to determine the seedings as they looked at teams' record in the 2002 and 1998 finals and their world ranking over the last three years.
The USA and Holland were the unlucky sides to miss out the top seeds pot.
The news is a boost for England ahead of the draw on Friday, with Eriksson knowing his troops will not have to face any of the other top seven seeds in the opening group stages.

Germany because they are the hosts.Originally Posted by {I}{K}{E}
England because they came out second behind Brazil in the system used by Fifa to determine the seedings as they looked at teams' record in the 2002 and 1998 finals and their world ranking over the last three years. This would hinder a team like, say, Netherlands as they were not good enough to qualify for the last world cup.
