Deuce Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 How the fuck are Peru who needed to qualify through an inter-continental play off in pot 2 along with Spain and England? Based on World ranking I think. Aye, world rankings suck though, seriously flawed system. I’ll take Poland, Iran, and Panama. A loss and two valiant 0-0 draws for England then. Still better than 3 no shows we’ll win a World Cup before England does again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should leave this discussion and focus on crafting a strategy to defeat the varous Caribbean islands you will face next time around. Nigeria have been to the World Cup five times, were drawn against Argentina four of those times, and have lost to them by one goal on every single occasion. We rubbished them on Tuesday, but I am not fooled. I will take any of the other top seeds over them. It is difficult to see anything other than a tough group for them, anyway. Falling into pot 4 and the new format for the draw means we have made this hard on ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 We're guaranteed to get Argentina or Germany from pot 1 and Iceland or Sweden from pot 3 Can't have 3 Europeans in 1 group I think You're right it's only 2. Argentina and Sweden it is then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndegwa Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Aren't the Americans hosting an Alternative Fake News World Cup anyway with the teams that didn't qualify? To be fair Holland, Italy, USA, Ghana, Chile, Wales, Czech Rep, Ivory Coast etc would be a pretty decent tournament Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the idea, but it would basically be the Europa League version of the World Cup. Can't see how motivated the participating teams would be, which would be a downer.

Opportunity to introduce the next generation of players. Knowing us, they’d probably fuck even that up and still field the likes of Howard and Beasley.

My knee jerk reaction was to dismiss it...then you look at the quality of the teams that could be involved and it would be pretty fun.

Disco Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Gasping to suckle to the bent football association tit of whoever and make real American money. First Conmebol, second these cunts, third FIFA so they can host 2026. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don't act like cunts and stage it during the WC itself Fifa wouldn't sanction it during a WC. A straight up knockout competition with unseeded draws either just before or just after would be mint though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Best: Poland, England, Iran, Australia. Worst: Brazil, England, Denmark, Nigeria I'd take that group - the Australian media is talking like we're going to make it out of the groups for the first time 2006, but it's going to take a soft group like Poland, England and Iran for that to happen (we can't be grouped with Iran, however). Other nice options include Peru/Uruguay and Senegal/Egypt. Having said that, considering we don't know who our coach is going to be, and how well that coach will be able to select a team and make it perform to potential, we're just as likely to go out with three losses like Brazil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
