England won the first World Cup match, 2-1 with Tunisia, thanks to the doubles of Harry Kane, whose 3-point goal came in overtime. The British then made a show with the Panama team, which they defeated by 6-1. Kane was again the hero, signing a hat-trick. If we take on what they did at this World Championship, England and Belgium should offer a multi-phase match with goals. The British rely primarily on the scorecard Harry Kane, but besides it there is a Rashford, an Alli, a Loftus-Cheek or a Lingard.
Belgium debuted at this tour with a clear victory, 3-0 against Panamanians, followed by 5-2 against Tunisia. Belgium has an advantage that can prove very important – the selectionist Martinez has worked for many years in the Premier League and certainly knows Southgate players well. On the other side, the Belgians have a lot of solutions, even in the event that Lukaku will be absent because of medical problems – I mean the brothers Hazard, Mertens or Batshuayi. I bet both teams will score.
