Jericho Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 No Italy, Netherlands, Chile, U.S., Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Cameroon this year. That’s wild. And Wales - semi-finalist of Euro 2016! They had quite easy group and couldn't make it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 No Italy, Netherlands, Chile, U.S., Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Cameroon this year. That’s wild. Yes and no. Morocco and Tunisia both have more appereances at the WC than Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, so by that logic their non-appereance would be more wild.

Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire have each made the last three in a row though, and generally been considered CAF heavyweights in recent years, whereas Tunisia hasn’t been to a WC since 2006 and Morocco since 1998.

They had quite easy group and couldn't make it. I'm gutted, we under performed in so many games and threw some points away. The Ireland game was so frustrating, people praising the Irish when we played into their hands. Bale or no Bale we should have had the ability to qualify from that group.

Away Day Gadgie Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I don't undertstand why the host nation needs to be seeded in pot 1. Fair enough automatically qualifying but to probably be given an easy group aswell is unneccesary and f***s everything up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on World ranking I think. Aye, world rankings suck though, seriously flawed system. I’ll take Poland, Iran, and Panama. Got a feeling Poland will be dangerous myself. Not too far from home so they will probably have huge support and they've some decent quality and a lot of experience in their squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Managed to get tickets for four games in Moscow and St Petersburg with top seeds. Not sure which ones, but four out of Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Belgium and France isn't a bad haul after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
