The Portugal/Spain group is the interesting one at the group stage. If England mess up their first game which is quite possible it will be a nervy final 2 games

Would be nice if they showed up in internationals (or even club competition in Jesse's case ) this season wouldn't it!

Agree with bitontheslide, the Portugal/Spain/Morocco group will be interesting since they're all neighbours. Other groups that scream out as open/entertaining are the Brazil/Sweden/Korea/Mexico and Argentina/Iceland/Croatia/Nigeria ones.

I can also see Russia surprisingly not making it out of their group (I say 'surprising' because most smaller nations seem to benefit from a host boost, South Africa aside... South Korea making 3rd place in 2002, for example)

South Korea came in 4th place and that competition, South Korea´s matches are regarded extremely corrupted due to allegedly crooked and bribed referees.

When England won in 66 we were corrupt, changing venues and times to suit us and the refs in our favour. Host's perks.

This is it, 2018 is gonna go down in history with the year 1966, when the mighty England win the World cup.

With an attacking line of Alli, Rashford and Kane, who's gonna stop us?
