England got drawn in group F with Malta, Lithuania, Scotland, Slovenia and Slovakia. It’s arguably one of the easiest group and they began their journey to Russia in Slovakia. It was a dull game until the Adam Lallana gave England the lead at the end. The game finished 1-0 to England.

They then beat Malta 2-0 and where looking good at the top of the group. Next three games where against Scotland, Slovenia and Lithuania. England slipped up against Slovenia in a uninteresting game that ended in a 0-0 draw. That was one of two times in that group that England would drop points. The other time was away in Scotland. They took the lead through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain then Griffiths scored twice in the 87 and 90 minuet finally Harry Kane equalized in the 93 minuet to save England one point.
Then England went on a four game winning streak and won group F comfortably. They finished with 26 points and where the only team out of group F to qualify for the World Cup. Harry Kane managed to grab himself five goals in these ten games and was the top goal scorer in this group.
England where in pot 2 for the World Cup. They got drawn into group G with Belgium, Tunisia and Panama, once again England where handed an easy group. It should be easy for them to get through the group but we will have to wait and see.
