- England
In the last cup, England was in fourth place, with a team starting its cycle. For this Cup the team comes more experienced and promises to go far, however the English come with a history of “strange” eliminations. The team lost an Euro at home, with bad decisions by its coach, and was eliminated in the semifinals of the last cup, in a game far below the level of its players. It seems that there's always something getting in the way of the England team's performance.
Even with this history of eliminations, we see the England selection in a TOP 3 in this world cup, just behind France and Brazil. This squad focused on the competition and the coach being more conservative in his choices, the selection can go far.
Main players: Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson and Phil Foden.

- Iran
Being one of the first teams to qualify for the tournament, Iran had the best performance in the Asian qualifiers, with eight wins in ten games, conceding just four goals in the finals. This is a well-trained team.
Although we don't have the fourth team, we see Iran as the worst team in this group, maybe even on the same level as the American team. So we can have the Iranian team vying for a spot in this group, and it wouldn't be crazy if they were in second place in the group.
Main players: Mehdi Taremi and Sardar Azmoun.
- U.S.A
After being out of the last Cup, the U.S.A is back in the tournament. There were seven wins in 14 games, six of which were at home. The team presented very different performances playing at home and playing away. The fact that the team cannot have good results in a stadium without having the majority of the crowd can make it difficult for the team to classify.
Even though they don't have big names on the team, the United States can win a spot. This group will have three teams at similar levels, perhaps the European team a little above the other two. The USA's first game is against the team that comes from the European play-offs, so a victory from the first game is crucial, considering a probable England victory in the other match.
Main players: Christian Pulisic and Miles Robinson.
- Wales, Scotland or Ukraine
Due to off-field problems, we had a delay in this play-off bracket, but we have three possible teams that will occupy this spot. We don't have a big favourite, there will be well-fought duels between them due to the parity of the squads.
Regardless of the team that comes from this draw, it will be the second strongest team in this group, and slightly favorite to win the second place against the United States and Iran.
Suggestion: USA not to qualify @ 1.75 - Betano
