England have been drawn with Belgium, Tunisia and Panama in World Cup Group G and will surely be confident – if they can ever be confident – of making it through to the last-16.
Seeded second England will kick off against Tunisia in Volgograd on Monday June 18 and then face Panama – at their first ever World Cup – in Novgorod on June 24 and then they will play their final group match against top seeds Belgium in Kaliningrad on June 28.
That final fixture will have a very Premier League feel to it given the large number of Belgians – from Kevin de Bruyne to Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku in the Red Devils team who are coached by former Everton manager Roberto Martinez.
The Belgians, too, will be pleased with the draw, and did not want to face England in the group stages, and although the make-up of the groups was designed to avoid so-called Groups of Death then there are some which are tougher than others.
