England through to semi's

England have qualified for the semi finals in emphatic style with a win over a stubborn and talented Colombia team.

A first half goal from Jonathan Gribbin sent the hosts through to a mouth watering clash against Paralympic Champions Brazil.

In the other semi final China will meet Spain after an amazing comeback against Greece. Needing to win by three clear goals Greece took a surprise lead before a second half fight back saw China home. It meant heartbreak for France who finished level on points and with the same goal difference but lost out to China on goals scored.

Japan go into the 7th place play off having not scored a goal in the competition. They will play against reigning World Champions Argentina whilst South Korea will hope to avoid the wooden spoon in their game against Greece. France will compete against Colombia for the 5th place.
