A: Egypt and Uruguay are no joke. Russia are the lowest ranked side in their group. I don't think Russia get through.
B: Portugal and Spain
C: France and fingers crossed for Aus. (The wife is aussie)
D: Argies have no easy time. They barely qualified. Still go through top along with Croatia.
E: Brazil and Costa Rica
F: Germany and Sweden. Mexico is gonna shit the bed.
G: England and Belgium
H: Poland and Japan
- Re: Group F, I've been reading that the South Korean side are actually fairly strong, so I'm not sure it will come down to DE and SE ...Continuity
- ... nor will MX fuck the dog, I don't think. Looks like this might be one of the groups of death.Continuity
- Aus need to sort a manager and quick but France - that's not a nice draw.MrT
- Not standing strong by Sweden. Would be happy to see Mexico or SK do well.mandomafioso

I see two tough (I mean, competitive) groups, D and H.
B, C and G are a joke, A is a sick joke.
I will wait to see who is anointed before I make any predictions. I won a large pool last time by doing this. There will be unexpected sides in the KOs, and it will usually be sides counted out based on stupid things, like friendlies. All of them got here by coming up top or near top in whatever groups.
I will say it looks like an easy ride for Brazil and France.

'Group A: Russia (There's no way they are going to lose at home)'
Why not? Brazil did three years ago ... :D'Group B: I want to say Portugal (Most likely Spain?)'
Please let it be Spain. Please let it be Spain. I want to see that insufferable cunt Ronaldo have a fucking stroke on the pitch with the veins in his head exploding and gushing blood, as he watches his side go down in flames.'Group C: France (easy?)'
Likely, but this isn't really a reflection of France's football talent. Since Zidane left (more like bombed out), they've been painful to watch.'Group D: Argentina (easy?)'
Is it too much to hope/ask for, for Iceland upsetting the whole group?'Group E: Brazil (easy?)'
Unless they're still rattled from that glorious, magnificent 7:1 arse-raping they got in '14. Which leads us too ...'Group F: Germany (easy for sure)'
I want to believe. I really do. I really fucking hope Jogi has a handle on this. When you consider that a lot of Die Mannschaft come from FC Bayern, and when you consider the problems FCB were having earlier in the season, I'm nervous. Really nervous. Especially with Mexico in the group ...'Group G: unless England plays like they once did'
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!- lol england. when in the 6o's? I always cheer for them but they never fail to disappoint. they always look t=like they dial it in. wankers._niko
- lol, they did play ok once...they have good players, terrible team work.Maaku
- yeah no cohesion, a collection of primadonnas and nobody plays for the flag just themselves._niko
- I think England will do better this time, only because they can't do worse than last time.MrT

- D is toughFax_Benson
- Russia's group looks good but we don't know how much they paid.Fax_Benson
- England's record against Belgium is superb, but this team is the probably the best they've ever had. Can't say the same for Engerland.MrT

Question is what time the games will be on in the US...have no idea what the time difference is. I recall watching the Japan/Korea Cup in 2002 at very odd times of day.
- If a game is at 9pm in Saint-Pétersbourg, it will be at 2:pm new york time : https://time.is/Sain…Salarrue

Fox spent $200 million for the US broadcasting rights banking on plenty of US viewers.
- I'll still watch some games at a pub. It's football, gotta watch some football every once in a while.capn_ron
- Yeah I'll watch as many as I can, but all the casual fans will now not care at all. Not that I'm crying for Fox, mind you...stoplying
- actually. $400 million, but for both 2018 and 2022 world cupGnash

nice lil rant here, but the US not even qualifying is kinda funny after all the hype of MLS and the last couple cups
- I'm am surprised the US aren't a major player on the world stage yet TBH.Hayzilla
- They're top when it comes to women's football, which makes sense ... http://www.fifa.com/…detritus
- lol, Wales rank better than England in men's football... http://www.fifa.com/…
England fans are delusional.detritus - As are the US men's team fans, probably more so.cotton
