Former England manager, Gareth Southgate, has named the three countries they must avoid ahead of the 2026 World Cup draw on Friday.
The Three Lions qualified for the tournament without conceding a single, winning all their qualifying fixtures.
Although a lot of observers insisted that England were in an easy group, Southgate has now said it could get tougher at the World Cup.
He listed Japan, Colombia and Scotland as teams they must avoid in the group stages.
Southgate said: “I think someone like Japan would be a very tough game.
“Colombia, who we played in 2018, but if you’re thinking about the amount of Colombians that will go to those games in the States or Mexico, what an atmosphere that will be!”
“For England, I think we had a pretty good record against Scotland, but there’s always that thing that if you lose to Scotland that [Kenny] Dalglish and [Graeme] Souness and [Sir Alex] Ferguson will be going on about it for decades!”
