trev Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 What are the rules regarding who can be in the same group? Is it just a case of 1 team from each pot per group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Do we 'avoid' European teams in the draw? Or is it just out of a hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Reckon Euro Play off could go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 UEFA can have up to 2 teams per group, the other confederations 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridportOwl Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 World Cup draws are a bit like when you have a sweepstake at a wedding to see how long the speeches will go on for. The tedious build up, interviews that no one cares about and knowing the BBC some sort of shiete poem. Then the draw itself is always an uncomfortable watch as the players struggle to open the balls with the teams in and don't seem to know when to speak. Apart from that, it is ace.

Said on the news that it could last around 2 hours. How why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in charge it would be a 10 minute job. Then again I would scrap opening ceremonies and all that rubbish. Just get on with the football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 My preference for England's group would be Mexico, Morocco and Canada. Hoping to avoid Germany, Senegal and Scotland/Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitechapel Owl Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The pots actually look pretty sensible to me for once, normally there's a ridiculous seed like Colombia or Poland. I can't really see a draw that would look overly concerning for England. Portugal probably lucky to be seeded, but that's probably good for England. Can only share the group with one European team so the hardest is possibly Netherlands, Senegal and maybe Ecuador? Or Mexico, Senegal, Wales. Neither would concern me really.

Don't want any European teams in the group we play against these nations more frequently anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I'd love us to get the Netherlands in our group. Means avoiding them in the last 16, and I'd back us to get 6 points against the pot 4 and 3 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
