A number of present and previous foxes are in the World Cup and we have looked at the players, when they will be playing and all those exciting moments that must certainly will appear.

James Maddison is the only current Leicester player in the England squad, but we also have from previous days Harry Maguire and Harry Kane who we do know both have been in a Leicester shirt.

Kasper Schmeichel will most certainly be in goal for Denmark when they play their World Cup opener vs. Tunisia on Tuesday. His start at Nice was a bit problematic, but in recent weeks things have changed, being this player of the month at Nice.

England will be in action for their opener vs. Iran tomorrow and we believe both Harry’s will be in the starting line-up, James Maddison will hopefully get game time later in the tournament.

Senegal are up against The Netherlands tomorrow and we will expect Nampalys Mendy to play his part. During the AFCON he was brilliant in the deep midfield anchor role, and hopefully he will continue his great work tomorrow.

Danny Ward is in a bit of a goalkeeper battle with veteran Wayne Hennessey for the Wales opener vs. USA. The game is tomorrow vs. USA. A crucial game for Wales as this probably will be the decider for a place in the final rounds.

Daniel Amartey and Ghana will play Portugal in their opener on Thursday. A very difficult challenge for Ghana who will be in competition to get through, and hopefully Amartey will add to his 46 caps.

Belgium will play Canada on Wednesday as we expect at least Castagne and Tielemans to be on the field. Wout Faes should from a Leicester perspective and based on recent form be a certainty in any national team, but still very unexperienced at this level with just one cap to his name.

Andrej Kramaric is up against Morokko on Wednesday, surely we will see the former fox up front for Croatia, either coming on from the bench or in a starting position. So far 20 goals in 74 full internationals. This year he has 4 goals in 9 games.
