Football World Cup : is England in a safer group ?
Posted by PartyHandle@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 13 comments
I think we are but Croatia is a very strong team even now
Scotland seems worse off
What do you think ?

croatia are always a bit of a headache but with foden and stonesy in the side we should be proper sorted tbh. i was reading this and it's got me thinking we might actually have a real shout this time fr mate.Harry Winter Article

Croatia are always a tough nut to crack mate, but I reckon England would breeze through that group if they actually used the Liverpool lads like Trent and Curtis properly from the off tbh. YNWA

Seems a good draw to me, hope the matches can be in the coolest (temperature) venues.

Spain, Uruguay, Norway +1 is prob the toughest; but England's group isn't an easy one compared to the rest. There's just never an easy group in the WC - the pressure changes everything. Scotland's is naturally harder because of the seeding.

England's group is the closest to a group of death in this world cup.Â

France’s group is the group of death

Croatia aren't that good. An up for it England should breeze past them.

With the new format, there's no such thing as the " group of death" England is more than safe, one win and most likely you will qualify for the knockout stages. 8 teams out of 12 groups will qualify as the best 3rd place.

Croatia are arguably weaker than they were when we met in the groups in Euro 2020, Ghana failed to even qualify for AFCON this year and Panama, whilst being better then the pub team they were in 2018, shouldn't cause us much, if any, issues.
Ergo, 3 games, 3 wins, top the group on 9 points and face Brazil in the QF. Hopefully by then we're in a good groove, as this is far from a classic Brazil side even with Don Carlo as manager

8 3rd placed teams will qualify to the round of 32 from the 12 groups.
Because of this, most likely 1 win would be enough to guarantee a country going through.
England have Panama in their group so there's no real need to worry about the group stage at least.

Yeah but it's not just 1 team getting past each group stage.
