The wait is over – England's 2026 World Cup campaign has kicked off, and we're already salivating at the mouth-watering fixtures that lie ahead. The Three Lions have been given a dream draw, thanks to FIFA's innovative seeding system, which has thrown up some serious treats for Gareth Southgate's boys.
With the likes of Spain and Argentina not being potential opponents until the semis or final stages, England boss Thomas Tuchel will be licking his lips at the prospect of taking on Brazil in the quarter-finals – a showdown that would pit two of the world's most attacking forces against each other. And if England finish top of their group, they'll be just one match away from a potential Wembley semi-final against Argentina, setting up a mouth-watering final clash with Spain.
But what about the alternative route? If England finish second in their group, they could face an early encounter with La Roja – and we all know how that would go down in the Three Lions' dressing room. From there, it's quarter-final against Belgium, followed by a semi-final showdown with France – the perfect stage for Southgate's men to make some history.
With three top-class teams hosting this year's World Cup, England's road to glory will be one of the most compelling storylines in football. Get ready for some serious drama – and may the best team win!
