1990 FIFA World Cup Group F

Play in Group F of the 1990 FIFA World Cup completed on 21 June 1990. England won the group and advanced to the second round, along with the Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands. Egypt failed to advance.[1] This group has the record (along with the 1982 Group 1) of the most draws (five) of any "group round" in World Cup history. Both the Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands advanced but finished with identical records—with identical points, goal difference, goals scored, as well as drawing with each other—resulting in the drawing of lots to determine their position.
