CamperKing ambassador and YouTube sensation Ben Foster has backed England and Wales to come through their group in style in this winter's football World Cup in Qatar.

Revealing his predictions on his popular Cycling GK YouTube channel, Ben backed England to top Group B, with Wales a close second, meaning both would qualify for the second round of the competition.

The 2022 tournament kicked off on Sunday, with host nation Qatar losing 2-0 to Ecuador in Group A. England kick off their campaign against Iran on Monday, while Wales play the USA the same day.

Of Group B, Ben said: "Statistically this is a tough group. Wales will bring their A game, while Iran have been out there a couple of weeks already and are acclimatise to the heat. I still think England will finish top, and will win their three games but I don't think it will be an absolute doddle."

Ben suggests a third place finish for the USA and that Iran would prop up the group, but he added that they "won't have disgraced themselves".

Ultimately, however, he thinks England will be pipped to the post in the semi-final by Belgium, who will go on to face Brazil in the final.
