00:00Previewing every single World Cup group ahead of the tournament this summer and finally we have
00:04Group L. England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama. Let's get into it. Now when it comes to World Cup prep,
00:10losing four games in a row and sacking your manager two months before the tournament starts
00:14isn't ideal. Neither is losing star man Mohamed Kouros to long-term injuries still.
00:20In Antoine Semenyo, Ghana have one of the most lethal attacking threats in the Premier League
00:24and new coach Carlos Kiros is no stranger to the World Cup stage as he prepares to manage
00:28at his fifth tournament. For Panama, escape from this group looks unlikely but with an
00:34expanded tournament meaning that third place could sneak you into the knockout rounds, there's still
00:38hope. Shipping six to England in their last World Cup appearance might give them a few nightmares
00:43ahead of meeting Tuchel's side but given their unbeaten run through qualification and the fact
00:48they're ranked 33rd in the world, they could be a potential banana skin for some more illustrious
00:52opponents. With Croatia, the old guard have been largely trusted again to lead them into North
00:57America and with good reason. Kramaric, Perisic, Modric, Novakovic and Kovacic will be able to count
01:03on their combined 650 international appearances worth of experience and potentially give this
01:09evergreen golden generation one last hurrah. Lastly then, despite the usual negativity on social
01:15media, England do head into the group as favourites. In captain and top goalscorer Harry Kane, they possess
01:20the finest striker in world football alongside a plethora of attacking talent with the likes of Saka,
01:25Rodgers, Bellingham, Rashford, Gordon and the rest. If they pass through the group stage as expected,
01:30the three lines will absolutely need to bare their teeth in the knockouts with arguably the tougher
01:34side of the draw to delve into. One player to watch from each team, Adalberto Karaskia from Panama,
01:40Luka Vescovic from Croatia, Kamaldin Sulemana from Ghana and Morgan Rodgers from England.
