Not really, even England should be beating Iran and Nigeria

- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

More in terms of Brazil or Spain in the next round. There really isn't anyone in Pots 3 and 4 England shouldn't be able to beat. Except Iceland obviously.
What channel is the draw on?
Portugal - England would be tasty..
I can see Spain and France together.
BBC two is showing it live.
Can't believe Lineker is hosting it, what a hypocrite.

I'm properly excited for this.
Lineker's response:
The golden boot winner defended himself. “There is a new guard,” he said. “If it were still Blatter and his brigade I would not have done it. I was approached by [Fifa’s technical development director] Marco van Basten and [deputy general secretary] Zvonimir Boban. They are two good football people. I hope and think Fifa is changing. New people deserve a chance to prove it is, we will see.”

In the olimpics i started watching Curling to mock it but sadly in the end i became a fan.
They'll do everything in their power not to let England be drawn in Russia's group or play in the same cities as Russia do after the trouble in 2016.
Hi caf,
I made a World Cup quiz for a work thing tonight.
28 points to get....
Link is here don’t worry it’s not dodgy or anything just the easiest way to share it.
What do you think? Too easy/hard?

I want England from second pot so much. South American teams usually mean boring games against us (based on friendlies), Switzerland are boring, Spain would spank us and I just don't feel Croatia that much although I would definitely prefer them over remaining 6 teams other than England.
Then Senegal/Costa Rica and Australia/Japan/Nigeria and it would be a perfect draw. I don't really want a boring group in the mould of Peru, Egypt and Saudi Arabia etc.

I want to see Argentina England in the Sam group. Always loved their rivalry. France Senegal rematch from 2002 would he tasty. Belgium-Spain for de gea v. Lukaku
So the draw starts at 3pm, what time do we think it'll ACTUALLY start though? I can't be bothered to sit through dull montage after montage.
France
England
Sengal
Australia
Would be a fun group to watch at least for me personally, best case scenario for Australia would be imo.
Russia
Switzerland
Egypt

Please dress yourself in a appropriate way acceptable for every culture. Thanks.
There's another viewpoint on that guy's timeline, thankfully:

As an iranian i think that what u r doing is shameful and u r collaborating with our dictators by repeating and ligitimizing their point of view. Iranians love football but remember that there are many things that are so much more important for us than watching a ceremony.

For Spain I'd like Brasil/Argentina.I think that they would see a good Spain instead the one of confederations Cup,although Poland could be nice too,to beat them and make fun of my brothers in law for years

Not too worried about the pot C and D.

I even looked up the Curling rules and the scoring system on Wikipedia so I could understand the tactics
.I assume the World Cup is the same thing for people who don't normally watch football, and even for me personally, this and the Euros are probably the only time I really pay attention to international football.
They'll do a couple of hours of build-up musical extravaganza then we'll get down to business and they'll switch to the team who did the League Cup draw, and the screen will go blank. The groups will suddenly appear on Twitter a couple of hours later.
Whoever we draw, the results will be as follows:
A 1-0 win from a late header from a corner by one of the CBs
A 1-1 draw with a country we really should be beating
A dull 0-0 draw in which Kane misses a penalty
We'll then get knocked out in the next round by the easiest team we could've faced.

Oh my god, I totally didn't get it the first time

Yep, nailed it!Came in to ask this. Think I'll tune in an hour later than scheduled.
Saudi and Iran could be in the same group... humm that would be a "competative" game
I don´t know how to tell you this, but the Italian Men´s national team failed to qualify for the 2018 World Championships five days ago.
I don’t think two Asian teams can be in the same group
Genuinely excited for this.
I love the World Cup.
I love the World Cup.
We'll get the easiest group and still won't make it through to the next stage.
Hopefully England draw Brazil or argentina in the groups. Gives us chance of a big game to look forward to, and seeing as its highly unlikely we get out of the groups then that's our only chance.
Argentina England Iceland and Morocco
So much for those stick it to the man leftie tweets eh Gary, what a thunderous hypocritical twat.
Germany England Senegal Australia
That’d be a nice group
That’d be a nice group
they all look like Scooby Doo Villains
