We know it's coming but England will somehow find a way to do it in the most gut-punching way possible.

If we were to go purely from FIFA rankings (and cut the 32nd team to give Asia/Oceania a combined spot), it would be:
Europe: 19
South America: 6
North America: 4
Africa: 2
Asia + Oceania: 1

The rankings are flawed cause some countries play a lot more games than others.

Italy have more of the ball meaning England doing more running by defending. They could tire first in these conditions.
