    Verdict

    Gareth Southgate would have been relatively pleased with the draw considering his team managed to avoid the likes of Germany, Brazil, Argentina and France.

    Instead Group G’s top seeded team is a highly talented but beatable Belgium.

    to get out of the group would suggest.

    Tunisia on the other hand finished top of their qualifying group and remained unbeaten. That was, however, in arguably the weakest group in African qualifying and just 11 goals scored against the likes of Congo DR, Libya and Guinea will not be striking fear into the hearts of Southgate or Roberto Martinez.
