England
England is one of the teams which has been extremely unpredictable when it comes to the World Cups. The team has always been hailed as the favourites but they have always fallen short in these big tournaments.
This time though the team isn't considered as among the favourites and it has probably made things better for the team. They came into the Wolrd Cup with fewer expectations and the team has begun their campaign by winning their opening fixture in the World Cup after a long time. It continued its stupendous run with a thumping 6-1 victory over Panama. It faced a slight slump when a weakened Belgium defeated a second-string England side 1-0 in their final group game.
England is looking better than they have ever been in the last two decades and this might be the year where England might be finally reaching the Semifinals or even the Finals of the Tournament after a long gap. England faces Colombia next and with the form the team is in, Colombia shouldn't be much of a challenge. However one cannot predict how England will perform on the big stage and the real test begins now for the Europeans.
