Englands World cup group

With Germany, Argentina or Brazil waiting as potential opponents, many England fans would have been feeling a bit nervous ahead of the draw. However I feel like most of the fans will be very happy with the draw that was given to us.

Group G

1. Belgium
2. Panama
3. Tunisia
4. England 

Facing Belgium is no where near as bad as facing one of the bigger teams and couple that with the fact that Panama and Tunisia aren't great England should be optimistic. Howver, We all know how hard England find it to break down defensively set up sides. We struggled to break down Iceland. Costa Rica And Slovenia in recent years so this tournament wont be easy by any means. 

As well as this it potentially means we have to face Brazil or Germany on the way to the final which will not be an easy feat, although if we are aiming to win the tournament we have to face the big teams anyway. Its a case of when not if.

One thing that will worry the England fans though is the fact that Southgate has already been told whatever happens he is safe.

FA chief executive Martin Glenn says the manager will retain his position "for the next few tournaments". ''We go out there wanting to win it but also being realistic. No-one wants to have a bad World Cup but we're confident he's the right guy to take us through for the next few tournaments."

Hopefully Southgate uses this as motivation to succeed and not as a safety net as England will need all the motivation they can get.
