The Group Stage analysis: Group G

BELGIUM

Belgium will be head of group in the group G and it is not for less, the great generation of players with which the Belgians count every day is remarkable and the players happened to be promises of the European football and to be key piece of their equipment already consolidated as international figures; however the doubt for this Belgian team is their coach because they don’t seem to find his best style while directing the Belgians.

The great loss for this World Cup and that caused controversy in the European country, mostly for his fans, was Radja Nainggolan, player of the Roma Club that for the second time loses a World Cup for inexplicable reasons.

Belgium is the big favorite to advance first of its group, however it does not seem that it will go far in this World Cup. Although probably many have a different opinion.

PANAMA

Panama makes its debut in this Russia 2018 World Cup and few really agree that you can expect much from this Central American team. The Panamanian football is quite limited and in fact their participation in this World Cup is due to the low game of the United States team. However, the people of Panama don’t conform and although just participating in the World Cup people seem to be full of joy, that doesn’t mean they have the hope that their national team has a great performance. Who knows, maybe the selection of Panama managed to give the surprise as it did four years ago the selection of Costa Rica.

TUNISIA

The selection of Tunisia has never advanced of the group stage and in this World Cup the things don’t paint well for something different, its figure the forward player of the Rennes of France; Wahbi Khazri has missed the two most recent games of preparation and his recovery doesn’t look good for the World Cup, but this player does enter the call and must find his best form as soon as possible. This African team that has only been champion once in its continent in 2004 must fight against the current to jump from those last historical places that it has in the global competition.

ENGLAND

The England team has been classified as the great farce of the World Cups, because the only title in the world cup that they won was playing at home and under very suspicious circumstances, where for many it was quite evident that in that distant 1966, the English received help from FIFA, in particular of the referees, so that as a local team and in front of their fans they lifted the trophy. Who wouldn’t remember the famous phantom goal that served them to advance the round even though they had been inferior to their rival? Today the selection has again a great opportunity to show that not in vain they have the most competitive league in the world. England for the first time in a long time has a thug from the area, that if they know how to take advantage, we’ll probably see a great performance of the English team. We'll see if they have the mindset to finally remove that stigma of a “small selection”.
