World Cup 2018 FIFA World Cup Draw-December 1

[Pessimistic]

Denmark just smashed Ireland.

Mooy might get to play against a couple of his teammates from Denmark

 

[The_Todd07]

Not thrilled that if we do get out of the group, our r reward will most certainly be a date with Argentina

 

[happy_eagle]

Russia given an easy group, who would have thought
Saudia Arabia playing in the opening match as well

Strong advertisement for corruption

 

[Van_Dyke]

Russia 7 hours behind?

Provisionally the games are 1pm, 8pm and 5pm Moscow time

Depends what bit of the country; games are at 8pm, 1am and midnight EST respectively.

 

[Warsaw]

Pom colleagues are going off right now. Fair to say Friday night drinks have started early. Don't have the heart to remind em about Iceland.

Gonna be nice having a lead in to a World Cup where it doesn't seem like it's over before it even started.

 

[happy_eagle]

Unfortunately a heavy defeat first up against France might end our chances of progressing.

 

[The_Todd07]

Apart from Group B, each group looks to be fairly open for 2nd place
Should lend itself to Pretty entertaining group stage

Group D is quite interesting. Argentina obviously have the talent but if it wasn't for Messi they wouldn't be there. Clearly the team just isn't gelling right now and Croatia also have a lot of talent. Then you have Iceland and Nigeria who are no slouches either. Could be any of them IMO.

Probably the dullest opening match to any tournament, ever.

 

[royboy2]

Time for the lads to brush up on French, Danish & Spanish pick up lines

 

[Great8]

June 16th v France in Kazan
June 21st v Denmark in Samara
June 26th v Peru in Sochi
If we finish runner up we would play the Group D winner on July 1st at Nizhny Novgorod.
Stoked with that draw

Could be worse, the next one features Qatar

 

[Cooldude]

Group H is probably the most competitive group but the big teams of the other groups should really qualify easily

There's always an average game straight up.

IIRC South Africa played Mexico in 2010

But yes, agree with the corruption side of things

 

[go you pups]

England, Belgium, Spain and Portugal are laughing from what they were given

Most Dane's speak English, they are taught it at school

“Your prince is ******* a Tasmanian”

 

[go you pups]

If Peru beat either us or Denmark I'll bare my ass on Bourke St.

Hi DaVillaBlues

 

[hawkman]

Hi DaVillaBlues

Would need to see a welch before we can confirm its DaVillaBlues

 

[Aussie_boy]

I don't wish injuries on anyone, but an Eriksen injury could be handy.

“Your prince is ******* a Tasmanian”

"And you could too. Hi I'm Andonis"

 

[Jaeger]

They will smack us first up. Terrifying squad.

 

[hawkman]

I don't wish injuries on anyone, but an Eriksen injury could be handy.

Or he could play like he has in the last few club games

 

[RossFC]

I don't wish injuries on anyone, but an Eriksen injury could be handy.

Maybe general soreness in our game is fine.
