Aw, the one English fans and us English Premier League viewers have been waiting for. The test of the English Three Lions.

Led by the North London spearhead, Harry Kane, a killer in front of goal for his club, who he’s recently just signed a new contract with. Will he show the same deadliness in front of goal for his country is the question being asked.

The man spoke out as a true captain would, expressing all the confidence that him and his teammates, can go all the way in the tournament. A bold statement, with the team under so much fire when being involved in these major events.

The two teams have previously met in a World Cup Final back in 1998. The English were the victors on the day beating the African’s, Tunisia by two goals. You have to be expecting a similar result later tonight.

They play each other in the last game of the day and hoping Panama can upset with a draw against their familiars over in the Belgium team. Their game takes place at the Volgograd Arena.

England’s chances in their opener

The Three Lions boast a fearsome team, with an attack able to pick any defence. Built with power, pace and precision, they should be scoring at will . England’s midfield could be their weakest area on the pitch, but by no means a walkover in the middle of the park.

Tunisia had a steady road to Moscow and can continue in that fine form if they play their own game. They went unbeaten during their qualifications and can at best, beat out a stalemate against Southgate’s side.

Next: The VAR of the Show

Attack England instead of sitting back could be a better plan. We’ve seen it work for Mexico against Germany yesterday and we’ve seen England on the back foot. With a good scoreline, England could top Group G at the end of round one.

Whereas if Tunisia pull off a draw, they could go into the fixture with some sort of hope.

Tunisia vs. England result:

Tunisia 0-2 England

The European side brags a better side and should be taking all the points. Predicting an England win.
