LONDON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - The Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, England and Poland all secured their places in the 2006 World Cup finals in the penultimate round of European qualifiers on Saturday.

With Ukraine already through to join hosts Germany the remaining automatic qualifiers and playoff berths will be decided on Wednesday.

The Netherlands advanced with 2-0 win at fellow Euro 2004 semi-finalists the Czech Republic - a result that had widespread ramifications as it also sent through England and Poland and kept Romania in the hunt for a Group One playoff spot after their 1-0 win in Finland.

The clash in Prague between the top two in Group One lived up to expectations, particularly in an action-packed first half.

Edwin van der Sar saved a harshly-awarded penalty by Tomas Rosicky in the 29th minute and a minute later Rafael van der Vaart put the Dutch ahead.

Barry Opdam headed the second in the 37th and though the home side made most of the running after the break it was the massed ranks of orange-clad visiting fans celebrating at the end.

The victory sent the Dutch to Germany as group winners with a game to spare and left the Czechs needing to win in Finland to pip Romania for second.
