An extremely tough group you got. Looking forward to seeing how you handle the big boys!

There are a handful of very difficult groups for sure. I think Group B will be determined by whoever beats Kuwait by the greatest goal differential, I think C and H are pretty straight forward, and Group D will be the most exciting group to follow!

I think 0 points is a very real possibility from this group. France has been struggling during qualifying, however I'm sure they'll turn it on for the WC...Switzerland qualified like they did IRL with relative ease, and Colombia is scary with their attacking quality.

HAHA....how I handle them will most likely be the same: PACK THE BOX! I look at myself like the New Zealand team of the 2010 WC in which they defended for 90 minutes and drew all three games. If I do that...it would be the biggest accomplishment I could ask for, even if I don't advance like what happened to New Zealand in 2010.

Not sure if anyone really cares, but I find it both hilarious and intriguing that Canada and Iceland (my current and former WC 2014 teams) are playing each other right now as I type. beIN sports for anyone that cares!



I would watch this game anyway, but now I watch with a semi-attachment to the squads!
