World Cup 2018: 5 reasons why England can win the title

England v Netherlands - International Friendly
England will be the underdogs at the FIFA World Cup 2018

#5 Incredible pace in all areas

England v Slovakia - FIFA 2018 World Cup Qualifier
Kyle Walker and many other England players are known for their searing pace

England has a team filled with pace, from the defenders all the way to the forwards.

Kyle Walker at right-back is one of the fastest players in world football and is accompanied on the wing by fellow club team-mate Raheem Sterling, who is well-known for his pace.

On the other side, there are the likes of Danny Rose and Marcus Rashford. Both players will fancy themselves in a race against the world's best players.

At the heart of the defence is John Stones, who is a typical modern-day ball-playing defender. He is quick to react to through balls and has the pace to keep up with the top strikers.
