Germany/Nigeria and, based on Tuesday night's performance, Denmark would be pretty bad.

Despite the huge potential for embarrassing lols I'd quite like to see an Ashes World Cup match.

Best:

Poland, England, Iran, Panama

Worst:
Germany, England, Senegal, South Korea
or
Brazil, England, Sweden, Nigeria

I think all of those are feasible within the confederation limitations.

I think if drawn against a Euro side in Pot 1 we can't get a Euro side from Pot 3 and 4?

Best

Poland/Iran/South Korea

Worst

Brazil/Denmark/Nigeria

Guess there is an argument for taking Brazil or Germany in the group as you could still qualify and then would avoid a rematch until the final, should England make it that far.

Shit post Nakor, such a clown.

Surely Russia is a far better draw than Poland, they look pretty awful despite being at home...

Ah yes - there can't be 3 European teams in the same group.

How did Russia get in group 1 is it because they are the host nation?

If we take the same, tired old team it doesn't matter, we've not got a chance in hell.

If we take a chance and take a lot of the team that played well against Brazil this week, then Poland, Iran, Panama our best shot.

Home nations in the World Cup generally up their game, regardless of form though.  I'd much prefer Poland compared to Russia in their home stadium.

And that's before taking into account the inevitable carnage between the fans and the subsequent headlines about football hooliganism dominating the tournament.

Also need to keep an eye out for any referees in the Russian games who suddenly start driving around in brand new Ferraris.
