I mean Croatia's already qualified so that's gonna be a big test for England right off the bat. But you know what? I'm kinda hyped 
about it! With Tuchel at the helm, I think they've got a good shot at making a deep run in the tournament. We just gotta sit back and see how it all plays out 
but tuchel seems confident so hopefully he can pull it off 
the only thing that matters now is who they'll be playing in the knockouts 
. i know england fans are worried about this draw tho 
it's def a tough group, especially with croatia already qualified 
what do u think? will they be able to make a deep run in the tournament or should we be worried 
. But seriously, Croatia's already qualified, that's not even a worry anymore 
. The real question is how England will handle Ghana's lightning-fast striker and Panama's... well, who knows what their strategy is? 
Tuchel seems confident, which is good news for the Three Lions, but I'm still gonna put my money on Croatia 
. Still, it's gonna be a wild ride in Group L, that's for sure 
!
. And Ghana and Panama are no slouches either... how's Tuchel going to get his team prepared for all these matches? 
. But man, this group stage is gonna be a wild ride 
. Who knows what we'll see? Maybe England will surprise us all and make it out of the group 
. I'm rooting for them to make a deep run in the tournament! Croatia and Ghana are like, super strong teams, so it's gonna be interesting to see how they hold up against Panama too 
. Bring on the World Cup!

! Tuchel knows what he's doing 
! 
. That's gonna be tough, especially if they don't get the results they want early on 
. But at the same time, Tuchel seems so confident... like, he should be 
. I'm just hoping the lads can gel quickly & play to their strengths... a single point here & there could make all the difference 
. Fingers crossed we can pull off some surprising wins & make a deep run in the tournament! 
Thomas Tuchel saying that their group draw is "difficult" just makes it even more thrilling!

That team is like the ultimate test for any squad!
