• England manager Gareth Southgate reacts to Friday’s World Cup Final Draw
• Three Lions drawn in Group G with Belgium, Panama, and Tunisia
• England open opposite a Tunisians in Volgograd on 18 Jun 2018

Following Friday’s Final Draw for a 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, England manager Gareth Southgate gave his greeting to being drawn with tip seed Belgium, debutants Panama, and African qualifiers Tunisia in Group G.

“We know Belgium unequivocally well. Most of their players play in a English Premier League,” Southgate said. “Panama is a organisation we’ve never played, so for us, it’s engaging to find out some-more about a team. Tunisia privately takes me behind to 1998 and a initial diversion of a World Cup in France, since as a player, my initial diversion was opposite them.”

The Three Lions’ opening compare opposite Tunisia in Volgograd on 18 Jun 2018 is a repeat of their opening competition during France 1998 when Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes gave England a 2-0 feat over a North Africans in Marseille. Southgate’s side will afterwards face a Panamanians in Nizhny Novgorod on 24 Jun 2018 before completing their organisation report opposite a Belgians in Kaliningrad 4 days later.

“We’re utterly a immature team,” Southgate said. “We don’t have outrageous knowledge of contest football, though as a team, we have a lot of intensity and a organisation that we consider will urge in a subsequent few years.”
