World Cup 2018 FIFA World Cup Draw-December 1

[hawkman]

They will smack us first up. Terrifying squad.

We have a home game against Adelaide at the MCG the same time as the France game. Might be a good excuse to miss the smashing France will give us

 

[Great8]

Saturday 8pm June 16th v France in Kazan
Friday 1am June 22nd v Denmark in Samara
Wednesday midnight June 27th v Peru in Sochi

We will be there live. Just need to work out where we base ourselves and a few other logistics but atleast we can plan now

They will smack us first up. Terrifying squad.

Griezmann, Lacazette, Mbappe and Giroud could very well put about 10 past us.

Everyone is way too optimistic about our group. I love the Socceroos don’t get me wrong, but we’re about a 15% chance of winning a game let alone advancing

We can beat Peru and maybe draw with Denmark.

If we concede to Lord Bendtner a part of me will die inside.

I feel like people are saying that because Peru drew with NZ in NZ. Peru absolutely dominated that game but somehow didn’t score, and dominated the second game even more-so.

These are way better teams than us. I want to do well at this WC I really do, but we’re gonna get ****ed up.

NZ are shite but I reckon they gave Peru too much respect. The Kiwis only started trying to play football once they went behind and they looked dangerous. If Chris Woods had been fit they would have had a chance in the tie. Peru are beatable.

New system seems to have been able to level the groups. CDEF look tougher than ABGH, but not by much.

You all did very well in Brazil against harder opposition.

 

[GremioPower]

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

And Russian...

 

[FreoRicci]

Not an easy group nor a hard one. Just right.

Peru are too highly ranked. Feel like they have weaknesses, not the best defence. Playing in Europe, whole different ball game. New Zealand were overwhelmed, not accustomed to the intenstiveness of Peru. Australia won't be.

We were pretty competitive in the last World Cup against the Dutch and Chile. Gave too much respect, but once we played the football. Pretty much the same group of players, who will be feeling a bit confident. Need to not give France/Peru the respect/time to play their game. Anything is possible.

 

[GremioPower]

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

But how cool is to approach them in their own language? Be better than the competition!

 

[FreoRicci]

Can't wait to watch Saudis get smashed first up. If only we qualified directly from 2nd spot. Would be us right now playing Russia and on group A.. Goddamn it

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Wouldn't pen in the kickoff times yet, they're likely to be changed.

You could sing never tear us apart to them. That will win em

Our group is actually considered the hardest when you calculate the average FIFA ranking of each team

Group A: Uruguay (21), Egypt (31), Saudi Arabia (63), Russia (65) = 45 Avg
Group B: Portugal (3), Spain (6), Iran (32), Morocco (40) = 20.2 Avg
Group C: France (9), Peru (11), Denmark (12), Australia (39) = 17.7 Avg
Group D: Argentina (4), Croatia (17), Iceland (22), Nigeria (50) = 23.2 Avg
Group E: Brazil (2), Switzerland (8), Costa Rica (26), Serbia (37) = 18.2 Avg
Group F: Germany (1), Mexico (16), Sweden (18), South Korea (59) = 23.5 Avg
Group G: Belgium (5), England (15), Tunisia (27), Panama (56) = 25.7 Avg
Group H: Poland (7), Colombia (13), Senegal (23), Japan (55) = 24.5 Avg

ELO ratings consider groups B and F. The most balanced would be H.

Those days are past me, already...

 

[smasha]

Watching you tubes of the draw,bloody Poms laughing at us when our group is brought up,arrogant farks.

That's not true. They had possession in that leg but it wasn't as if the kiwi keeper kept them in it

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I can't see any group of death really to be honest, hopefully getting belted by France in the opening game doesn't shatter our confidence.

 

[jd2010]

We could get 0-4 points out of that group. Probably as good as we could do in any group

 

[Cruyff14]

Not the worst draw, like a lot of said, 4 points might get it done. If it didn't, it would be respectable anyway.

Group A is one of the most horrendous I've seen.

 

[jd2010]

Southgate won't survive if England don't get out of that group
