    well theyd be top 20 had they played the qualifier.

    So they’d be pot 3, still waaaaay better than playing any of the other pot 1 teams.

    pot 2 would probably have been more likely imo, but yes Russia is the dream 1 pot.

    Why do you say they’d be top 20 had they been involved in the qualifiers, their last major tournament they finished last in their group. Their best result in a friendly this season is a win against Hungary.

    I'm keeping an eye on F1 vs F2, Russia vs A3, and E1 vs E3 as I'll be in SP or Moscow for those games. Doubt I can get a ticket to the Russia game but hoping I can get tickets to the other 2. Denmark is my #2 team behind US so hoping somehow they get drawn one of those.

    So I get a chance at seeing: Russia vs Egypt in Saint Petersburg
    Mexico vs Germany in Moscow
    Brazil vs Costa Rica in Saint Petersburg

    Will try to get tickets to all 3, but Definitely most excited about Germany Mexico.

    No. Egypt is 6th worst pot 3 side. Saudi Arabia is worst Pot 4 side. Uruguay, while everyone is going to get a formidable pot 2 side, is 7th weakest from Pot 2. They did not draw an upper half of 8 side from any pot.

    Based on the concept that one team worthy of being in the quarterfinals will be left out, I’d say Group F

    Really you can make a case for all four being that good, even though there’s only one “giant”

    Honestly that group will probably be decided by when the other three have to play Germany. My advice to whoever plays them first is to avoid playing any idiots like Pepe. It's a horrifying thought of the USMNT having to play like we needed to draw instead of just not getting blown out thanks to Pepe.

    Putin had probably been looking forward to this day for years. I hope it was while he was hanging with Pele and Maradona when he found out about Flynn pleading guilty.

    Can't imagine how much fun 2002 would've been if I was in college, watching the US-Portugal game after coming home drunk from the bar sounds like the best time ever.
