World Cup qualification will begin in the next two days, I think it's predicable which country will qualify for the next round except Group C. It's quite competitive, Denmark #21, Greece #39 and Scotland #47. But if we take a look with their recent history, Greece improve a lot compared to Scotland.

What make it interesting is Italy, personally I think they won't qualify in this season.

I'm avoiding betting on Italy. I don't see their national coach being able to improve the team, and the squad isn't very strong compared to the squad they had years ago when they managed to qualify and go far in the World Cup. My attention is on the England team; they've improved a lot with Tuchel's arrival, but I saw in the press that Tuchel didn't call up Alexander-Arnold to play against Andorra and Serbia and instead called up Elliot Anderson, who currently plays for Nottingham Forest.

This surprised me, since Alexander-Arnold plays for Real Madrid, which is a good team, better than Nottingham Forest. Perhaps the fact that he left Liverpool, where he played regularly, for Real Madrid, where he's been sitting on the bench, may have influenced this decision. Now, look at Italy; the coach doesn't have as many player options as the England coach does.
