December 1 will be the draw of the group stage of the World Cup-2018. In the course of it all quartets will be defined, inside of which the struggle for an exit in the playoffs of the tournament will unfold.

According to the head coach of England Gareth Southgate, he does not worry at all what rivals will get his team.

"For several months, people have asked me about what kind of rivals England would like to receive by drawing lots. I could spend hours making up a list of the desired opponents, but in the end, everything will not depend on me ".

"We need to be prepared, no matter what rivals are waiting for us.

In the past, England was already inferior to the teams, which seemed weaker than it and won from those who were considered the favorite. Because, we do not care who gets into our group - we will look forward to these matches ".

"I'm waiting for the results of the draw in order to finally say -" that's against whom we play ". Then we will study the rival and prepare for it, "summed up Southgate.

The ceremony for the 2018 World Cup will be held today and will begin at 18:00 Kyiv time.
