Now onto Group G that has two powers of Europe and some hopefuls beyond that.
Countries in Group G
Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England
Belgium has been in nice form and will hope that there immense talent will continue to carry them farther. After an appearance in the quarter-finals in 2014 they will look to match or surpass their 4th place finish in 1986. With Hazard captain the squad and Lukaku scoring the goals Belgium will look to lead their group. They have all the parts needed for a team to make it far and show they are a serious contender on the world stage.
Panama is ecstatic to have made it out of the CONCACAF. They took the spot the U.S. gave up when they lost to Trinidad and Tobago. This is Panama's first appearance at the World Cup and they hope to show they belong. Panama will have to be all in for them to have a chance in this group. Their defense needs to keep the games low scoring and hope to find some goals to make it to the knockout rounds in a surprise.
Tunisia is a small country that is excited to be here. They will be looking for their second ever win in the World Cup. Tunisia has one of its best squads but is facing injuries to some key players that will hurt their chances. If they can somehow escape the group they will be consider the best of all time in Tunisia, but don't expect that to happen with the strong favorites up front.
England is trying to grab consistency and prove they are a world power after many seasons of underperforming. This group gives them a chance to battle with some good teams as well as having a great chance at getting to the knockout rounds. They will need their stars to shine and hope they can all bring it together to make a run in Russia. With Kane and Sterling up front they have the attacking prowess but need constant play from the back and midfield for it to come to fruition.
This is how I see it playing out
