Tough group. Just need to get out of it. One or two, just get it done.

 

We already knew the group was going to be tough based on the pots. This was just about the worst case scenario. But you just have to play with who you are grouped up with.

 

Can't wait!

I've seen more boring things and its a really slow work day. Plus I've been eager to see anything about the next World Cup. Too bad USA is probably screwed. Germany, Portugal, and Ghana... Crap

By the way, this draw was another example of just how corrupt and misguided FIFA is. First of all the seeds are a joke; Argentina, Germany & Spain, fine. But there's no way a team like Belgium or Switzerland (who hasn't qualified for a final tournament since 2002) should be ranked ahead of Italy, Portugal or even the US. Then there's the European team in Pot 2, originally that was supposed to be the lowest ranked European team which was France. But lo and behold, they changed the rules to a random draw. Now guess who's very good friends with Sepp Blatter and what nationality he has?

FIFA is no doubt corrupt.

 

The Qatar World Cup is about the biggest joke in sports I have ever seen. I have no doubt it will be a disaster if they still allow it to happen. Old Sepp probably spent all the cash he pocketed.

Yeah they are indeed corrupt. I was getting a headache trying to figure out how Belgium and Switzerland were seeded over a team like Netherlands. I was thinking Portugal isn't seeded because they didn't finish first in their group during Europe FIFA qualifiers maybe? And France barely making it in, but getting an incredibly easy group is a joke too.

Absolutely. Qatar doesn't even have a tradition in the sport. They'll finally qualify only because they're hosting that tourney.
