Draw from the Kennedy Center in Washington on Friday from 5pm
The Kennedy Center is the venue Donald Trump has taken control of which is sinking badly
Entertainment by the Village People and Robbie WilliamsPot 1: Canada, Mexico, USA, Spain, Argentina, France, England, Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, GermanyPot 2: Croatia, Morocco, Colombia, Uruguay, Switzerland, Japan, Senegal, IR Iran, Korea Republic, Ecuador, Austria, AustraliaPot 3: Norway, Panama, Egypt, Algeria, Scotland, Paraguay, Tunisia, Côte d’Ivoire, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South AfricaPot 4: Jordan, Cabo Verde, Ghana, Curaçao, Haiti, New Zealand, European Play-Off A, B, C and D, FIFA Play-Off Tournament 1 and 2The draw will begin with all the teams from pot 1 being drawn to groups A to L. It will then continue with pots 2, 3 and 4 in that order.

The FIFA fixFor pot 1, Canada, Mexico and the USA, as the host countries, will be identified by different coloured balls and, when drawn, will be assigned to position A1 for Mexico (green ball), B1 for Canada (red ball) and D1 for the USA (blue ball), as already established per the match schedule released on 4 February 2024. The remaining nine top-ranked teams in pot 1 will be identified by nine balls of the same colour and automatically allocated to position 1 of the group into which they are drawn.To ensure competitive balance, two separate pathways to the semi-finals have been established when developing the match schedule. In order to have a balanced distribution of the teams, the four highest-ranked teams in the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men’s Ranking, when drawn, will have the following constraints: the highest-ranked team (Spain) and the second highest-ranked team (Argentina) will be randomly drawn into opposite pathways, and the same principle will apply to the third (France) and fourth (England) highest-ranked teams. This will ensure that, should they win their groups, the two highest-ranked teams will not meet before the final.

I must admit I am usually invested in the World Cup and England, not that I think we will ever win it but Infantino is a snidey, narcissistic whore whose use of FIFA as a vehicle to shove his tongue up the dictator Trump's arsehole is enough to make you sick  I mean wtf is the FIFA World Peace Prize. You can shove the Trump Soccer World Cup. And also wtf are the leaders of Canada, Trump wants them as the 52nd state or some such shit and Mexico  Trump wants to bomb them, doing coming up to the cսnt. They should be ashamed. The word quisling seems apt.

Why you worried about the pricing you have openly admitted you will never ever attend a sports event again plus you couldn't afford it anyway even at tenth of the prices quoted

Sounds like one of Englands group games is in Texas & the rest in Toronto Boston or Philadelphia 
Those 3 are close together so makes the initial group travelling for those going

Not going so more interested in the match times
Dont think tv will allow them to play late to avoid the heat so will be some times that aren’t particularly helpful for those with jobs & a love of sleeping 
Agree that it really won’t get going til they ditch half the teams

Sad & amusing in equal measure that you'll use any excuse to introduce everybody to your hobby.

We all get it - you can't accept anything outside your bell (end) curve of majorities. Why not simply tell everybody why it is that this type of person scares you into making such posts? Prove your claims, using crayons, if needed. You can eat them when done.

Also the most difficult. Group stage is going to be tearfully boring and a training ground exercise for the first seeds barring USA and Canada. 
 
 
Depends on the playoffs, if someone other than Turkey makes it through, the States' group is pretty manageable and even then.

Mexico with Korea and Czechia/Denmark are some competative games. 


And we can always cheer for North Ireland😂.

Got to be honest I didn't even know who had qualified for the Work Cup bar the usual suspects. Who are half these countries? Shame that once elite level football, like the Champions League is swamped with minnows. Top level competition finals should be competed by top level teams.

Going to be zero excitement and forget the group of death that we usually had, this expanded version looks very boring in the early stages🤷‍♂️

The top 2 in each group and then the 8 best 3rd place teams go into the knockout rounds, realistically it's not until the 2nd round of the knockouts that the REAL games begin!! such is the extent of watering down of the competition, should have left it at 32 nations IMO.
