Gareth Southgate claims England's fixture against United States will be an "intriguing" encounter after the Three Lions discovered their group-stage opponents at the 2022 World Cup.
FIFA conducted the draw for the tournament on Friday evening, handing England what appears to be a favourable group containing the US, Iran and one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine. The Three Lions were in Pot 1 and avoided the likes of Germany, Netherlands and Uruguay, who could have joined them in Group B from Pot 2.
Reacting to the draw, Alan Shearer declared Southgate and his players will be pleased with their group at the World Cup, which kicks off in Qatar this November. However, the England manager refused to get carried away and pointed to the fixture against the US as a potential banana skin.
