10 Reasons Why England Can Win World Cup 2018

10. Winnable Group

Back at the 2014 World Cup, England found themselves in the veritable 'Group of Death', drawn alongside Italy, Uruguay, and Costa Rica. Even the mighty Italians didn't make it out of that group, but for 2018, England have been handed a much kinder draw, having been pit against Belgium, Tunisia, and Panama in Group G.

Panama are in 55th place in the FIFA rankings and are appearing at their first ever tournament, while Tunisia haven't featured at a World Cup since 2006 and have never gotten past the group stage. Both teams shouldn't be underestimated and have some great players, including Gabriel Torres for Panama and Wahbi Khazri for Tunisia, but England should be expected to make it out of this group.

The game against Belgium could prove decisive, but all that matters to England is qualification. In fact, the winners of Group G could end up with a harder path to the final, so even if England finish second, it wouldn't be the end of the world for the Three Lions.
