Rehearsals were... interesting:



Our group was:
Brazil
England
Sweden
Australia


People thought that was more difficult than France, Spain, Costa Rica, Japan (They think France and Spain should coast it).
 
What's the exact time for this in SA or Vic time and will it be on Foxtel/Optus/FreeTV?
1:30am SA time on Saturday morning I believe if my calculations are correct. It's 6:00pm Moscow time.

I was putting together a list of teams from other pots that have never played each other at a World Cup before but it took forever. Needless to say, I almost wish the draw was somehow set up to create new match ups we've never seen before.

I want Russia, England, Tunisia. Russia cause they're the hosts and not that strong, England cause I just want us to have a crack at them, and Tunisia cause they're beatable.

What we'll probably get? Brazil, Spain, Denmark.

Put me down for one of them too. Can't wait for the draw tonight!
 
I'm about to do a mock draw myself
But seeing the rankings made me wonder one thing
I see Russia has the lowest ranking in the World Cup
Would that be due to deflated rankings with no qualifiers for two years?
I know FIFA awards a more points to proper games over friendlies, so in the case of the hosts not playing competitive games for two years, would their ranking get deflated?
