villan-scott Posted December 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2017 Russia vs Saudi Arabia 14th June. That’s the Mrs birthday sorted. England vs Belgium 28th June. My birthday sorted. Happy days. Kind draw for us. Roll on June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If England can't get 4 points off Panama and Tunisia they should just disband. For a pot 2 group that's a good draw, Tunisia not as strong as other African teams and Panama just happy to be there and will lack experience. Don't think there's a group of death this year probably due to the absent teams like Italy, Holland and US but Argentina are in a tricky group so will need to be better at scoring goals otherwise there could be some low scoring draws. Spain group is tricky as Morroco is a decent team. Portugal will probably struggle to get out of that group. Do England play winner/2nd of the Poland group? Again could've been worse but think they would then play Germany/Brazil in a quarter final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Isn't Tim Vickery great btw. Making Shearer look a complete amateur. Get him on MOTD even if it's a video link from Rio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2017 Almost the perfect group. I think maybe Poland would be easier than Belgium but not much in it. No excuse for not getting out of that group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great drawfor us, but on the whole every group is pretty well balanced, hard to pick who will be the runners up in most group s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 So, Russia, the country that should have never be hosting has drawn the 2nd weakest pot B team, the weakest pot C team and the weakest pot D team. Hmmmm.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It's always the case with the host team getting put in pot 1. What's even more ridiculous is Qatar will also get that sort of group in four years time. A country that has never come close to qualifying for a World cup.
