  1. Rank the potential UEFA opponent: Wales, Ukraine, Scotland from hardest to easiest? Of course Ukraine has an interesting variable that is hard to quantify
  2. All I know is that there is only 1 continental champion in our group
  3. Are we thinking maybe 3rd toughest group?
  4. Maybe England will be too focused on beating Wales/Scotland and will overlook us
  5. Wales dammit
  6. Thank God Canada doesn’t get A
  7. Is Group G (Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland) shaping up as group of death?
  8. I know FIFA rankings are meh but Iran is the 2nd highest ranked team in Pot 3 Would love revenge for 1998
  9. Eh Iran. Not bad
  10. There it is. USA england
  11. Netherlands through
  12. Damn. DeRozan missed a FT that would have gave the Bulls a lead with 3.5 secs left. Now OT. If the Bulls win they’ll be 4 games up on the Cavs with 5 to play
  13. Sucks that we we “went for it” the year we had an impossible schedule and are retooling the year we have an easy schedule
  14. WC Draw simulator: https://stattosoftware.com/wc2022/ First one I got was Qatar, USA, Tunisia, Wales. Almost a perfect draw but I’d happily take this
  15. Why do they automatically put the host country in Pot 1? I get that playing at home gives some advantage (heck even South Africa almost advanced out of the group stage) but in years like this it’s an unnecessary advantage given to 3 lucky teams in the other pots. (Permission to erase this post if the US draws Qatar)
  16. Costa Rica goes 6-1-0 in their last 7 WCQ matches with the 1 draw being at Mexico. Pretty impressive.
  17. We didn’t even play bad. We had good chances early. Felt like once we gave up the 1st goal we were like meh and it turned into a glorified friendly.
  18. Uhhh time to shell up
  19. Ugh this would have been the perfect night to get the @CR monkey off our backs.
  20. I wonder how much of an adjustment period Suzuki is going to have? He's 0-9 with 5 K so far in the spring, which I wouldn't think twice about normally but it seems like there would be an adjustment to increased velocity going from Japan to the MLB. I could be talking out of my ass though lol
  21. I don’t see the downside right? Maybe pisses off their club teams a little but at the end of the day we haven’t clinched however unlikely it is for Costa Rica to score 6 times on the US.
  22. Canada might be into Pot 3 now with Ghana slotting in behind them instead of Nigeria barely in front. They should also be pulling for Mali and of course North Macedonia. Speaking of which, Portugal took a lead, so the USA to Pot 1 dream might die at step 1. Need that miracle comeback from North Macedonia but Germany is up on Netherlands
  23. The official website looks like it localizes it for your location if you scroll down: https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022 So the 4 group stage time windows appear to be 5 AM/8 AM/11 AM/2 PM Eastern time. Qatar doesn't do daylight savings but they seem like they're accounting for that if my time zone math is right. Knockout stage games are all at 10 AM and 2 PM Eastern Dont love the 5am matches but the rest are awesome. The World Cup is a great 'throw on at work' event in my office.
  24. Hey I was just trying to give Bears fans some hope. We're a miserable lot.
