With the 2022 football World Cup rapidly approaching its quarter and semi final stages in Qatar,thoughts are turning to which team will eventually triumph in the tournament finals.

The list of teams still in the tournament (at the time of writing) of course includes home nation England, with Gareth Southgate’s England team securing their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup after an impressive victory against African champions Senegal.

The game saw Jordan Henderson and Harry Kane get their first goals of the tournament, while Bukayo Saka continued his impressive form by scoring a third goal of the Qatar campaign.
