🏆 Who will England face in the World Cup knockouts? Here’s the lowdown! 🏆

Despite a goalless draw with Ghana, England are still sitting pretty at the top of Group L. With one last group match against DR Congo left, England have their eyes firmly set on the knockout stages. The Three Lions can secure their top spot with a win, keeping them in control of their World Cup destiny.

As the knockout stage picture starts to form, finishing first in their group would pit England against DR Congo in Atlanta on 1 July for the Round of 32. A victory there could see them take on either Mexico or Cape Verde on 6 July in the last-16. July 11th might bring a thrilling quarter-final against the likes of Brazil, Japan, Ivory Coast, or Norway.

Looking further ahead, a successful run could lead England to a semi-final on July 15 against teams possibly including Belgium, Portugal, or Argentina. And the grand final is set for July 19, where potential heavyweights like France, Spain, or Germany might stand in their way.
For now, England’s path seems more advantageous compared to other potential group leads, so fingers crossed they secure that crucial win over DR Congo to ensure the ride continues smoothly. The excitement is building, and the possibilities are endless! Come on, England! ⚽🦁
