Best draw for me would be:

Poland, England, Iran, Panama

Worst draw:

Germany, England, Denmark, Nigeria.

I know it won’t matter who we play if we’re getting knocked out in the group stage or going to win it, but who do want England to avoid or be drawn against?

 

[Lazkir]

Argentina, Iceland, Australia.

Nightmare scenario!

Don't mind Germany because we'd be in a no lose situation, not expected to win so no big disappointment.

Brazil or Portugal Great team or great individual
Iceland Revenge
Australia It's the Aussies, we'd have to beat them.

Don't care if they are drawn against other teams. I wouldn't watch.

And how the hell are the Argies in pot one after just scraping in?

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Apart from Russia (as hosts) the pots are decided by world ranking as at mid Nov, I think.

 

[Dasit]

Doesn't matter who we get, we can beat anyone and lose to anyone.



I fancy us getting to semi finals.

Can’t knock it :thup:

 

[Slime]

I can see at least seven points there, if not nine!

Hopefully win the first two comfortably, bit of confidence going in to the group decider with Belgium and hopefully win the group.

 

[Imurg]

If we can't get out of that group they need to sack every player and coach and start again.....

 

[Beezerk]

Hopefully win the first two comfortably, bit of confidence going in to the group decider with Belgium and hopefully win the group.

You seem to be forgetting the fact we’re absolutely pants.

Totally agree with you. Can easily see Belgium getting 9 points from that group.

 

[ColchesterFC]

• Group A: Russia (65), Saudi Arabia (63), Egypt (31), Uruguay (21)
• Group B: Portugal (3), Spain (6), Morocco (40), Iran (32)
• Group C: France (9), Australia (39), Peru (11), Denmark (12)
• Group D: Argentina (4), Iceland (22), Croatia (17), Nigeria (50)
• Group E: Brazil (2), Switzerland (8), Costa Rica (26), Serbia (37)
• Group F: Germany (1), Sweden (18), Mexico (16), South Korea (59)
• Group G: Belgium (5), Panama (56), Tunisia (27), England (15)
• Group H: Poland (7), Senegal (23), Colombia (13), Japan (55)

​Based on the world rankings group A is definitely the weakest and Groups C and F the toughest.

What? The rankings and pots teams were in were in the opening post.

Always going to be drawn with 1 team higher and 2 lower.
