BBC Radio 5 live at the World Cup draw in MoscowAnd that is that. Gareth Southgate must be happy with that draw. All the coaches posed for a photograph on the stage after the show ended. They all have media commitments to attend to - but most are happy chatting with each other. The media can wait!
England's record against their group opponentspublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2017
16:19 GMT 1 December 2017England have not lost to Belgium in their past 11 meetings – their only defeat against them came in 1936. That was their only loss in 23 games overall.
The Three Lions have met Tunisia twice before, drawing a friendly in 1990 and beating them at the 1998 World Cup in France, while England have never met Panama.
So that's P23, L1 against their group-stage opponents.

BBC Sport South American football expertThere's only two results for Brazil - winning and disgrace.
They will clear up some of that stains on the carpet if they win. but looking at their draw, if they progress, the cross over is with Germany's group.

Southgate's plus pointpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2017
16:16 GMT 1 December 2017Alan Shearer
Former Newcastle striker on BBC Match of the DayThe big plus Gareth has is that he's played in tournaments.
He knows what to expect, he's been there, he knows what's right, what's wrong, what a player needs.
It's a big advantage.
Where are England playing?published at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2017
16:16 GMT 1 December 2017England v Panama (24 June)
Approximate distance from Moscow: 265 miles
Location: The administrative centre of the Nizhegorod oblast (region), Nizhy Novgorod lies to the east of Moscow at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers.
Background: Inspired by the aspects of nature in the Volga region, in which it is situated, the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium draws on wind and water in its circular design. This is embodied in what Fifa describe as a "semi-transparent undulating facade". Like all good modern stadiums, it also lights up at night.
Situated on a site in central Nizhny Novgorod, on the west bank of the river Volga where it merges with the Oka, construction on the stadium began in 2015. FC Olimpiyets Nizhny Novgorod, the club who stand to inherit the ground after the World Cup, were formed in the same year, out of the ashes of the dissolved FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod.

Does distance matter?published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2017
16:13 GMT 1 December 2017Jose Fonte
West Ham and Portugal defenderIn my opinion, travelling long distances does have an effect.
If you're stuck on a plane and then on a bus, especially when the airport is never usually close to your base. Russia is a big country so we have to expect travel. It can effect the physical side of recovery.

16:12 GMT 1 December 2017Tunisia v England (18 June 2018)
Time Zone: BST +2 hours
Approximate distance from Moscow: 585 miles
Location: Formerly Stalingrad, it is situated in south west Russia, on the western bank of the Volga River.
Background: A purpose-built stadium for the World Cup, the Volgograd Arena is being constructed on the site of the demolished Central Stadium, which had been there since 1958.
With its meshed, lattice-like exterior and cabled roof, it is one of the more distinctive venues for the competition. According to Fifa's official website, "the special way in which the stadium's roof has been constructed, with cables reminiscent of the spokes of the wheel on a bicycle, lends the arena an extra element of airiness".
After the World Cup, the stadium will be reduced to 35,000 capacity and will become the new home of Russian top-flight side Rotor Volgograd.

West Ham and Portugal defenderIt's a big rivalry and it will be like a derby. It will be fantastic. Everyone will be up for it.
We have ambition but we have to take it game by game. We're expected to go through but we've got to keep our feet on the ground.

BBC Sport South American football expertIt's their first World Cup and it's a lovely present for a group of players who, in the majority, are in their thirties.
I can't see them doing what Costa Rica did in Brazil and reaching the quarter-finals.
