I have them meeting Norway in the first knockout round, where Erling Haaland could play the perfect pantomime villain. I think the Three Lions scrape through that challenge, which would then tee up a potential last 16 encounter with co-hosts Mexico, which could present a trickier challenge than many think, especially if ‘El Tri’ have home advantage, and Raul Jimenez channels his 2019-20 goalscoring form.
