This month's spotlight on England's and Scotland's World Cup matches

By DEREK JOHN

London, Sept. 26.

This month the World Cup spotlight fixes firmly upon England and Scotland, who figure in the only two European quality- ing matches to be played during September and who are the only British countries who can still qualify for the final stages in Chile next May and June.

What are their chances of success? Scotland face the more critical task in Group Eight where Czechoslovakia are formidable rivals. But England, more comfortably placed in Group Six, cannot afford to take qualification for granted.
