World Cup Draw
Didn't see a thread for the World Cup draw. It is taking place right now on FS1 if anyone is interested.
I know some don't give a lick about soccer but some do. I'm not overly worried about the draw, just wanna know who we got and what our potential path to the knock out stages is going to be. |

Draw Results
Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland Group D: France, UAE/Australia, Denmark, Tunisia Group E: Spain, Costa Rica/New Zealand, Germany, Japan Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, Korea Republic Group of death would have to be Group E. Group F, B, H should be fun to watch. The US has a potential to get outta the group. England is going to be incredibly tough and Iran isn't a slouch but they should be able to take care of business. The European play-off between Wales and Scotland/Ukraine. My money would be on Wales getting through that, but you never know. So what do we think? Do we think the USA gets out of the group? In 2014, the USA was apart of the group of death and got out of the group so you just never know. The draw definitely could've been a lot worse.

Easily the most annoying event. A bunch of people who don't even watch soccer pretend every 4 years they are diehards cheering for a country alot of them bash. Hopefully they get eliminated quickly

US versus Wales, et al. would be interesting for me. My surname is Welsh vs. my country. I've never seen that I don't think Mane of Senegal is enough to push the Netherlands, but they can make it. Last edited by Garcia Bronco; 04-01-2022 at 11:46 AM.. |

I think that the "Group of Death" would be B with potentially 4 of the top 21 teams in the world rankings.

I don't watch soccer or even follow it, but I like the world cup. However, it always reminds me of the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee and FIFA are easily 2 of the most corrupt organizations in the world.

If they get through the group stage though, the draw of Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador, or Qatar would set up well.

The World Cup taking place in November going up against the NFL… it will be completely invisible in the US.

It is definitely going to be interesting to see how viewership goes. Especially if the US plays on a Sunday. I think the one thing that will bode well, in terms of the world cup competing for eyes with the NFL, is the games shouldn't be happening during the same window since they're on different sides of the world.

Will these be in the middle of the night, like the last Olympics was? If so that sucks. Seems the last couple have managed to be during the day here in the US, which is pretty cool because it has a NCAA tournament feel to it. And the bars were packed during those USA day games.
