England failed to overcome a bizarre scenario in which they had to thrash British rivals Scotland to help Team GB qualify for next year's Olympic Games . Heading into the final round of Nations League group fixtures, England trailed the Netherlands by a three-goal difference. The winner of the group would qualify for the Nations League finals in February and qualify for the Olympics. As Team GB's nominated football team, England had beat Scotland and score three more goals than the Netherlands managed against Belgium. They would then top the group and ensure Team GB qualified for the Olympics, while simultaneously ensuring England qualified for the Nations League finals.
