England through but Germany's next

2:53 pm on 24 June 2010

England are through the last 16 at the football World Cup in South Africa but as they qualified second in Group C, despite beating Slovenia 1-0, their next opponents are Germany.

The old foes meet in Bloemfontein on Monday after Germany beat Ghana 1-0 to top Group D ahead of the West Africans.

Ghana will play the Group C winners the USA after going through on goal difference ahead of Australia, who beat Serbia 2-1.

England's captain Steven Gerrard says while it's good to have proved the doubters wrong it would've been good to have done it more emphatically.

Steven Gerrard says consistency's the key now and if they play as badly as they did against Algeria they won't get another chance.
