Steve Coppell: This has been one of the most open World Cups till date

The former England winger is not reading too much into England's win over Panama and Tunisia in the group stages...

Steve Coppell might be getting ready to take charge of his third Indian Super League (ISL) club in three years but that doesn’t mean the Englishman hasn’t kept an eye on his countrymen’s performance in the ongoing World Cup in Russia.

The Three Lions will take on Colombia in the Round of 16 clash after finishing second in their group behind Belgium.

Coppell, who himself has represented England at the 1982 World Cup, is refusing to read too much into the side’s performance against Belgium which Gareth Southgate’s men lost 1-0.
