LFG CARLI.

I'm watching a British live commentary on the draw and they are practically begging for the US out of pot 2.

Because it went so well for them last time?

[stitchface]

I am not powerful, but, I too, would very much like this.

 

not 2 AM or 5 AM would be nice

the arrogance of England has no bounds. I would take England out of Pot 1 outside of Qatar

I don't particularly want England, but at least now I have the 'horsefeathers around and find out' angle

Yeah. I’m not sure if England would be my #2 pick but I’d say they’re somewhere in the 2-4 range after Qatar. Definitely rather have them than Brazil, Belgium, France and probably Spain.

Extremely difficult to be scared of a Gareth Southgate team.

avoiding brazil is my biggest priority - though as someone pointed out - its the 3 and 4 pots that really matter. avoiding senegal there for me.

I think Spain would absolutely annihilate the US. The US will be more successful against athletic teams than technical teams in my view

[stitchface]

go Group A

[bukie]

England to group B. Now I want England's group even more.

[stitchface]

wth is the point of the red ball?

[soccer10k]

go Group A

 

Group B is pretty enticing also with England, pending who the second team in Group A is.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

They really got the Nigerian guy out here just to say the Pot 1 teams are in spot 1 in their group huh

I do enjoy the suspenseful music

[bukie]

Argentina group C, France group D. USA please stay out of C and D.

[bukie]

Spain group E, Belgium group F.

[wolf stansson]

Cafu getting his country into the late groups is very clutch

[Transmogrified Tiger]

In terms of pairings it's A/B and E/F for me, I also could get on board with D with a sufficiently light pot 3/4 draw

I don’t know why they’re even drawing from that pot in the first place.

Very little prep time for euro players in A/B.

I think the pot 1 teams are guaranteed the first spot in the group but the other pots could technically be 2-4, so they'll take one random ball from various groups when deciding the subsequent pot teams. That only decides matchup order in a group.

[bukie]

Brazil group G, Portugal group H.

[stitchface]

the process really illustrates that we don't trust computers . . . aside from the spectacle.

 

I would take Portugal out of Pot 1 after Qatar now that I think about it.

Thanksgiving games for groups E, F, G, H.
