56 and a half years of hurt and counting. After the near miss in Russia in 2018, England go again in Qatar as they bid to land that elusive second World Cup.
Despite a wretched set of results in 2022 capped off by Nations League relegation, the Three Lions head to the Middle East as one of the favourites in Paddy Power’s World Cup 2022 betting market.

Match 51: England 3-0 Senegal – Sunday, December 4 (19:00)
Quater-Finals
England won Match 51 in comprehensive fashion so they will face the Match 52 victors, France, who beat Poland in the last 16. Olivier Giroud opened the scoring for the reigning champions before Kylian Mbappe’s brilliant brace. Robert Lewandowski netted a consolation from the spot with the last kick of the game.
Match 59: England v France – Saturday, December 10 (19:00)
Semi-Finals
If England win Match 59 then they will face the winners of Match 60 – Morocco or Portugal. The other side of the draw looks wide open with the likes of Brazil and Argentina on course to clash in the last four.
Match 62: Match 59 Winners v Match 60 Winners – Wednesday, December 14 (19:00)
Final
Match 64: Match 61 Winners v Match 62 Winners – Sunday, December 18 (15:00)
Sorry for dropping a cliche here but there’s no easy match at international level, despite the advantage of topping Group B means avoiding the Netherlands in the last 16. The major downside with this path is the potential for a quarter-final clash with France.
