That’s a great draw for England, but especially for the USA. If everyone gets healthy, they’ll comfortable have the second best squad in that group. That was the worry for them. They’ll be good enough to give England some useful preparation, but it should be pretty low-pressure for England.

Scotland or Wales make it and you will have a fight.

Scotland well organised and tough to beat, Wales with the bale factor…..also advantage that they play England last and won’t have shot their bolt in their cup final.

Mind you they may not make it yet.

Everyone in that group will feel it gives them a chance to qualify yes even Iran
 

The 22/23 campaign is going to be pretty congested. What's happening. Is it going to be postponed till late December early January?

Lots of water under lots of bridges before getting to any of those. Just win the three group games and don’t worry about what happens after until you’re through.

I will say France are beatable. I think their problem is trying to control some of the egos their players have. Was it Pogba who cost them the euros?

It rarely works out like that though. It's highly unlikely that the seven seeded teams that aren't Qatar will all win their groups.

Anyone’s beatable with the talent of the current England squad. No reason to be afraid against anyone. Play your own match and be disciplined while letting anyone else do the deeper analysis.

Would be either way if all the favourites win, but that never happens.

Looks harder if we don't win the group too:

Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil, France
