Despite skipper and prolific striker Harry Kane yet to open his account, England have the highest goals in the tournament so far—nine—along with Spain, but having conceded one less than the Spaniards, it puts the Englishmen marginally ahead in that department.

England’s next opponents Senegal, won’t be easy, but the Three Lions should be able to get through to the last eight with forwards Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden striking rich form in time. Their run though could end in the quarter-final, given their possible opponents are world champions France, who should not have any problems against out-of-form striker and captain Robert Lewandowski’s Poland in their second-round fixture. Meanwhile, Morocco, who have the joint-highest seven points, alongside England and the Netherlands, won’t have it easy against Spain in their second-round clash. And a mouth-watering Spain v Portugal quarter-final looms, given that Cristiano Ronaldo’s well-oiled unit, should be able to get past Round 2 opponents Switzerland, who are a bit too dependent on Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri. However, it may be a bit too much to expect of the Portuguese to put it past Spain in the quarters, and a Spain v France semi-final could see the mesmerising Kylian Mbappe take his team into their second consecutive World Cup final.
