2002 FIFA World Cup Group F#Sweden vs Argentina

{{Short description|Football tournament group stage}}

{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2018}}

The Group F of the 2002 FIFA World Cup lasted from 2 to 12 June 2002. Sweden won the group, and advanced to the second round, along with England. The two sides were level on points, but Sweden won the tie-break on goals scored, and so won the group with England in second place. Argentina and Nigeria failed to advance. Group F was considered by several commentators to be a 'group of death' due to the high rankings, and World Cup records of the teams in the group.BBC SPORT | WORLD CUP | Argentina v England | England's sweet revenge http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/argentina_v_england/default.stm
