Fans of England and Scotland are now eagerly trying to work out their path to glory in the World Cup, which finally took place after a while.
For England, the team is drawn against Croatia in Arlington, just outside Dallas or Toronto. This fixture could give coach Thomas Tuchel the chance to grow his squad into the tournament. However, on paper at least, Croatia might be their toughest test.
In other group stages, England have a relatively easy route ahead of them with fixtures against Ghana and Panama who they thrashed in 2018. The team will also start nearly a week after Mexico face South Africa in the tournament opener, giving Tuchel extra time to fit in his two friendlies before the Three Lions' opening game.
Scotland's group stage is not looking as promising for them. They have been drawn against Brazil and Morocco who they lost to last time they made it to the World Cup in 1998.
If Scotland want to get out of the group, their biggest test will come very early as they face Haiti on 13 June in Foxborough or East Rutherford on the same day. The game is potentially crucial to their hopes of making the knockout rounds.
For England, beating Croatia and going on to win their group would set them up for a possible path against Mexico's winners. Then it could be Brazil, who are seeded but not guaranteed to meet England in the last 16.
Scotland, if they manage to draw or lose to Haiti, will then have two tough games against other teams inside the top 11 of the Fifa world ranking and potentially face Germany or France in Philadelphia for their next match.

. England looks solid on paper but Croatia is gonna be a tough nut to crack. Tuchel needs to get his squad ready ASAP. Scotland, on the other hand, has some heavy hitters in their group - Brazil and Morocco are not teams you wanna mess with 
.
Still gonna keep an eye on it though 
oh man I'm so hyped for the World Cup this year!!! 
especially for England with that tricky draw against Croatia, it's gonna be a great test for them! 
but on paper at least they've got an easy route ahead and their coach Tuchel is gonna get to try out some new players. Fingers crossed they can make a deep run in the tournament! 
. I'm rooting for them though, they've got some talented players and if they can get out of that one match, anything is possible! 
for england tho, they've got a decent group draw and with thomas tuchel at the helm, i think they can grow their squad and take some big wins, like beating croatia would be a huge confidence booster! 
. fingers crossed for both teams though, it's gonna be an exciting tournament!! 
this world cup is gonna be super interesting! i'm lovin the fact that england has it easy in group stages, but you can never count out croatia, they've got some talented players 
and scotland's gotta do a lot better than just losing to brazil & morocco, 1998 was ages ago 
! England's squad looks fire right now and Croatia better watch out 
. But Scotland, bruv, you gotta be realistic, they're facing Brazil and Morocco? 
. I'm rooting for Croatia tho, they've been in tough spots before and came out on top 
. And Scotland, don't get too hyped just yet, you still gotta beat Haiti 
. This is gonna be a wild ride! 
. On paper, it seems like Ghana and Panama are pretty weak opponents, so if they can take those wins, that'll set them up nicely for the group stage.
.
Plus, starting after Mexico's opener is a bonus too 
.
on June 13th. That game could be super crucial 
. If Scotland manage that, their next games against Germany or France would be like, super tough 
. They need to get past Haiti and then it's gonna be a real challenge against those top-ranked teams 
. If they can make it out of that group, though, I think they've got a shot at making some noise in the tournament 
οΈ.
. It's always exciting when teams get a chance to prove themselves in these knockout stages 
!
, it's gonna be interesting to see how thomas tuchel's squad develops throughout the tournament 
, they'll need some magic to get out of that group stage 
france and germany already looking tough 
. A draw against Haiti isn't out of the question either, but beating Brazil is about as likely as me winning the lottery 
! As for Scotland, if they draw with Haiti, it's every man for themselves 
! I'm loving the excitement around England's squad, especially with that tough match against Croatia - Tuchel really needs to bring his A-game to grow those players 
). They'll really need to bring their A-game against Haiti if they want to make it past the group stage
