World Cup draw

[JackFish]

About to start... well, once they get all the dancing and faffing out of the way. As long as we get there I don't mind who we get, but a group with Qatar/Switzerland/Tunisia would be about as good as we could hope for.

 

[JackFish]

The BBC might even mention that us and Scotland are in the draw at some point as well.

They’re more interested in Mane and Salah by the sounds of it

 

[JackFish]

I'm particularly enjoying them drawing the teams and then drawing which position they go into... which for Group A is always position 1, so why on earth are they bothering?

 

[JackFish]

So already we can't be in group D (France/Denmark), Group E (Spain/Germany) or Group F (Belgium, Croatia).

I really don’t like the ‘rules’ of the draw to be honest. They should just all be in 1 pot and they draw each group at a time.

The seeding thing I kind of understand, but not allowing two from the same confederation in the same group?

 

[JackFish]

England get USA and Iran FFS, couldn't have asked for an easier group.

And B (England) innit.

No we can still be in A, B, C or H. Two European teams can be in the same group.

Ah, fair enough. Thanks for clarifying!

 

[JackFish]

B by far the best for us now IMO, C is a nightmare and H not great with Portugal and Uruguay already. A would be okay too.

Hopefully we'll be in that group.
