England are coming off of a disappointing game against the USMNT in a 0-0 draw after dismantling Iran 6-2 in their opening group game. The Three Lions have 4 points and are well in the driver’s seat in Group B, now they will take on Wales at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Al Rayyan for confirmation of first place.

The winner of Group B will take on Senegal and avoid Netherlands, so it is important for the Three Lions to get a victory over Wales who are deemed the weakest team in the group.

Here are the scenarios if England were to lose to Wales in their last game of group B at the FIFA World Cup. You can watch this game in the US live on FuboTV (7-day free trial) and Peacock (Limited-time offer for 0.99/m).
