World Cup draw LIVE! England draw USA, Iran and potentially Wales or Scotland, latest updates and reaction

2022 World Cup draw - LIVE!

England were drawn against Iran, the United States and one of Scotland, Wales or Ukraine in a favourable looking Group B.

Gareth Southgate’s side will not know their final opposition until the playoffs are completed in June, though the England boss will surely be pleased with that outcome.

Holders France will face Denmark, Tunisia and one of Peru/UAE/Australia in Group D while the dreaded ‘Group of Death’ looks like the one containing Spain, Germany, Costa Rica/New Zealand and Japan.
