The next day, England began their normal training sessions, which are usually scheduled in the afternoon and evening, in order to get used to the game time.

Under Gareth Southgate, England's players are recovering from their form at the end of the league and they are now waiting for the World Cup.

Jones is now updating his social platform every day, attracting a lot of attention from fans and the media.

As time went by, other teams came to Russia, and in addition to reporting on the situation of each team, the media also began to warm up for the World Cup, and various speculations appeared in major media.

Which champion team falls in the group stage?

The 32 teams that qualify for the finals will be divided into eight groups for 48 brutal matchups.

And the strong and weak teams in these 8 groups are mixed, there are traditional world powerhouses, and there are also new faces.

The format of Group A is not clear, Uruguay will definitely be the top of the table in terms of absolute strength, but the second-place host Russia and Egypt, who have reached the final for the first time in 28 years, will have a battle.

Although Russia is the host country and has a huge home advantage, Russia has not emerged more football talents in recent years, and it is only a strong factor with home advantage.

At the same time, we must not underestimate the African champion Egypt, especially the team's number one superstar Salah has been in hot form in the past year, and is also the absolute core and spiritual leader of the Egyptian team.

Saudi Arabia is the weakest team in the group and is the role of the other three teams looking to score points on them.

Therefore, it is predicted that the teams that will qualify for this group are Uruguay and Egypt.

Group B has Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran

The situation in Group B is clearer, and Morocco and Iran are not yet able to cause much hindrance to the double teeth.

The main attraction of this group is the battle for top spot in the group between Spain and Portugal, who have won all the titles since the start of the World Cup in '86.

Group C includes France, Australia, Peru and Denmark

The focus of Group C is Peru, Denmark, and Australia competing for a place in the group.

Peru is a typical South American style of play, but in the face of Denmark and Australia, teams with strong air dominance will have a certain degree of restraint, and Peru's ability to release air is also average, so it is difficult to appear. Optimistic about France and Denmark qualifying.

Group D includes Argentina, Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria

In Group D, in addition to Argentina's overall strength above other teams, the remaining place will be Croatia, Iceland, Nigeria will have a fierce battle.

Although Croatia have a top midfielder such as Modric in the Magic Flute, Iceland has been a dark horse in world football in recent years, and Nigeria is also the African team with the most World Cup appearances, so it is not easy to rule out the possibility of qualifying.

However, as long as they play normally, Argentina and Croatia are still the preferred teams to qualify from the group.

Group E includes Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia and Costa Rica

Among the teams in Group E, the Samba Army is the strongest, except for the slightly weak thickness of the backline, the other two lines are star-studded, and there is naturally no problem in qualifying.

The highlight is the battle between Switzerland and Serbia, who are superior in terms of card strength, but Serbia also have a top-tier defensive midfielder like Nemanja Matic.

Even if the overall strength of the team has not weakened after the division of the country, Brazil and Switzerland are predicted to qualify.

Group F includes Germany, Mexico, Sweden and South Korea

Germany's World Cup results in recent years have been very good, playing in the last four is considered a basic operation, and there is a case of slaughtering Brazil 7-1 in the last edition.

Although Sweden did not have Ibrahimovic selected for this edition, this did not affect the overall strength of the team, and Mexico is the team that has entered the World Cup the most times except Brazil.

However, the results are relatively average, so the media is more optimistic about Germany and Sweden to advance.

Group G includes Belgium, Panama, Tunisia and England

This group seems to be in a clear situation of qualifying, Belgium has increased in strength in recent years, and the team has many stars.

England are also favoured this time, with top strikers such as Harry Kane and Jones in the squad, but Panama and Tunisia are not good stubbles or fish belly teams.

However, as long as Belgium and England play normally, it is believed that qualifying is not a big problem.

Group H includes Poland, Senegal, Japan and Colombia.

Poland and Colombia are above the other two teams in terms of overall strength in this group, and Japan and Senegal will hardly pose a threat to these two teams, and the media is optimistic that Poland and Colombia will qualify.

Time flies, and the time for the start of the World Cup is getting closer and closer, and fans around the world are turning their attention to Russia.

Many fans came to Russia by various means of transport to cheer for their favorite team.

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed more than 200 FIFA member associations and the global media at the 68th FIFA Congress: "Russia is ready to welcome fans from all over the world to experience the warmth and hospitality of its people. ”
