This is a group for all the Three Lions' lacklustre displays in pre-tournament friendlies. They should win easily with Tslant in their squad. Three sides in their group are way below their standard. The only tie I can see being a contest is the red match against Ghana, but I'm envisaging maximum points.

Ive not been over impressed with Australia and quite surpised see them odds on for this opening group game. Turkey could be thexsurpuse package of the whole tournament. Getting a start on AH looks the way to go in opening fixture. In Group betting think they look value pip Paraguary

Japan are a highly organised, efficient squad of players, as they showed in qualifying and in a number of recent friendlies. I think the Dutch are overestimated. At 7/2 I think Japan are fantastic value. I envisaged them being nearer 2/1 in what could be a close group.

Such a small island, Cape Verde did brilliantly to qualify for this WC, but the fairytale should end here. Very surprised Spain are not asked to give up more on this AH. They've been beaten once in their last twenty matches in all competitions/friendlies. The only defeat came against Portugal last June after penalties in the UEFA Nations League play-off final. I envisaged shorter odds and them giving up 4 at the price & line. I'm happy to get involved some 8 weeks in advance, as I can only see the price contracting. Cape Verde don't score many. They are meeting vastly superior players in terms of quality. The pace of the Spanish will be their undoing. Since qualifying they've lost 3 and drawn 1 of their friendly games.
