Spain and Germany in the same group....that's already the group of death, and we still have two teams to be drawn.

I like the US chances to get through. Any one of the three EURO playoff teams could be a tough draw.

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Gotta feel bad for Canada staring down Belgium and Croatia

Group H is super tough w/ Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, and SKorea. Easy to imagine any 2 of those 4 making it through, even the Koreans.

USA should like their chances. I'll take Ukraine, Scotland, Wales, in that order.
Iran is a must-win...we've seen examples of this US squad playing down to competition. Can't happen here.

England will like their chances at 7-9 points.

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Fondly remembering the last time the US was drawn with England, and the S*n posted a headline that said "EASY - England, Algeria, Slovenia, Yanks: Best English group since the Beatles."

Then the US won the group. Never forget.

At least we won't have to worry about Ghana until the final round lol

Re: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Groups all seem reasonably balanced, honestly.

Canada avoided the 2am and 5am Pacific timeslots, so I'm satisfied. (I'm old and need sleep.)

Group A is def the easiest. Poor Costa Rica. Mexico got a tough group too. Same with Canada.

The US/England match on the day after Thanksgiving will easily become the most-watched soccer game in the US ever. It will beat out the Argentina/Germany final and the US/Japan women’s final which are virtually tied for most-watched now.

Ecuador's World Cup berth could be in jeopardy. Chile accuse them of playing an ineligible player. They claim the player has used a false birth certificate and is in fact Colombian and not from Ecuador.
