Drawn into a favorable group, it's very likely they will emerge as group winners and into the knockout stages.

Drawn into Group B, they face off against Iran, the USA and the winner of Scotland/Ukraine vs Wales Levi Lewis Jerseys .
England of course have a history with the USA, having drawn 1-1 with them at the 2010 World Cup in Africa, following that infamous error from Rob Green.
They also face Iran, who they've never faced and to round it off they could come up against British Benson Mayowa Jerseys rivals Wales or Scotland which would certainly be a brilliant match-up.
England should qualify as group winners, as anything else would be seen as a failure by the country and certainly the media too.
Group B is complete. What do you make of that, fans?
