2022 World Cup: Every group ranked from strongest to weakest in study

England may have struggled in their latest round of international fixtures, but the Three Lions will still go into the 2022 World Cup as one the favourites.

The Three Lions have talent all over the pitch and have the potential to lift the trophy.

England found out their group stage opponents when the draw was made in April.

Gareth Southgate’s side were drawn in Group B alongside Iran and USA. Wales beat Ukraine in June to complete the group.

Many thought that England had got off lightly when the draw was made.

However, a study has emerged which goes against that idea.

Twitter user @datatec_ has ranked every group from strongest to weakest. They’ve looked at each team’s FIFA world ranking and given each group an average ranking.

They’ve created a graphic which displays the information. Interestingly, England’s group is actually the strongest of them all. View their graphic below…
