England & Uruguay to draw sticks for 2nd place, have that ever happened before?

I put all my predictions into one of those online spreadsheets that calculates the placings and, against my original judgement that Eng won't get out of the group, Eng v Uruguay ended level behind Italy on all of the differentiating factors. So if I'm right (unlikely I know) it would come down to that.....I folded up both teams and asked my wife to pick - she picked out England!
