ENGLAND face a Saturday lunchtime clash with Denmark after a nail-biting goal-less draw with Nigeria left them in second place in Group F.
Sweden knocked out Argentina, but only just after a draw 1-1 left them top of the group and an early Sunday morning game with Senegal.
Paul Scholes hit the post with a fierce shot from outside the area in the 43rd minute as England turned up the heat in temperatures in the middle 90s against Nigeria in Osaka.
NIGERIA 0, ENGLAND 0 - Full-time
ARGENTINA 1, SWEDEN 1 - Full-time
