Anybody else going for ticket tonight?
The question is : Except for Europe can 2 teams from same confederation meet in group stage?...couldn't happen in recent previous WC... anyone knows?... FIFA doesn't know ...

Ok answer is except Europe Same as before 2 teams from same confederation can't meet in group stage... max 2 teams from UEFA in any group. So we can't meet Iran... I wouldn't mind Poland, Peru and Tunisia
aka Ange scraped us through quals, but a better coach would have had us through earlier and will be much stronger to challenge at the big disco.Quote:

POT 4: Serbia, Nigeria, Australia, Japan, Morocco, Panama, South Korea, Saudi Arabia
Not really any easy games, but if we can jag one or two of the highlighted teams in our group we may be a chance. None of the pot 3 teams really strike me as "easy", neither do any strike me as unbeatable.
I hope we either get a good draw with chance of progressing, or get absolutely screwed and get Brazil, Spain and Denmark/Senegal just so we can watch some quality teams (not ours)
Are you saying Portugal are an easy team from that pot?Quote:

I can see a few teams that we could compete with from pot 3.
Maybe Peru, Mexico and England wouldn't be too bad from pot 2.
In Pot 1, Russia would be nice, but Poland and Argentina aren't in amazing form at this stage. Poland drew against Kazakhstan and got spanked by Denmark after they had qualified. Other than Messi, Argentina can't score goals. If you had to pick a giant to face i'd pick them right now.

Have you ever watched Mexico in the group stages (not after that phase) in the WC? Get them the hell away from us IMO.Quote:

Russia at home..hummmm maybe not.... and Denmark just made a fool of Ireland in Dublin. Would still prefer Poland and Tunisia.Quote:

I probably overestimate Poland, they would perhaps be doable.Quote:

I think Mexico are pretty solid.
Starting to think that if someone offered you Jessica Alba for the night you'd complain about the food at dinner.Quote:

The funny thing Stanny, is that you probably believe their 3rd choice CB is their best player just because he played for Monchengladbach for a few years. We get it, you love Monchengladbach... You don't have to bring them up all the time.Quote:

A front 3 of Fischer - Lorde Bendtner - Eriksen is pretty solid. Jorgenson and Cornellius off the bench is better than what we have to offer.
Easy win, they don't know how to win at the World Cup do they?Quote:
