World Cup 2026...........'draw'....

**Nesta99** · 05/12/2025, 6:09 PM

Ok so we're in the draw, thats all, Im traumatised so far.....

**pineapple stu** · 05/12/2025, 6:20 PM

Jokes aside, I'm surprised at how crap it is. Kevin Hart blends in with the background and all you can see is a loud-mouthed necklace. The official song was tame. Lauryn Hill was crap (and did she say it's Bob Marley's birthday? I think there's been more than one mic malfunction. And how is Rio Ferdinand the best they could find to do the draw?

But Christ, Infantino gets worse and worse. At one stage I was hoping he'd shut up and let Trump speak, because that would be less painful.

Anyway, down to the draw now. Let's see who we maybe get

I want group B, Canada for football reasons obviously, but that could cause a very frosty houshold when we qualify! Odds on its Portugal though.

So Canada group B out of the equation now based on the rules? D looking nice now.

Why?

Four groups can have two European teams - there's no such group yet. I think all options open to us still

**SkStu** · 05/12/2025, 6:41 PM

Ah ok - sorry my bad.

**pineapple stu** · 05/12/2025, 6:42 PM

I was wondering!

England have Croatia, so we can't be in that group. Which I'm quite ok with to be honest.

Canada/Qatar/Switzerland looking about a good a draw as you could hope for

**SkStu** · 05/12/2025, 6:49 PM

Totally. Still liking B & D.

Also USA-Australia-Paraguay

**pineapple stu** · 05/12/2025, 6:58 PM

Mexico, South Africa and South Korea it is

You'll take that

**rebelmusic** · 05/12/2025, 6:58 PM

One of the best possible groups I would say. Nice!

**Crosby87** · 05/12/2025, 6:59 PM

I feel like this is touching the money at the blackjack table

**Metrostars** · 05/12/2025, 6:59 PM

I think it's a tough draw. South Korea will be the toughest and although they've been poor lately, Mexico at home will be hard.

**SkStu** · 05/12/2025, 6:59 PM

Yep. Best of the rest.

Oh it's a tough draw. It's the World Cup.

I think it's maybe slightly easier than the draw we have to get there in the first place.

**Crosby87** · 05/12/2025, 7:10 PM

Mexico will also be under crazy pressure and probably threats....no fun.

Glad to avoid MetLife. I know they are putting in grass but it will probably be horrible that Stadium is awful.

**Crosby87** · 05/12/2025, 7:16 PM

Then again, Atlanta is becoming a dump tho I would love to take you lads up Stone Mountain and those Waffle Houses are legit

**Bungle** · 05/12/2025, 7:19 PM

That's a good draw.

Mexico are generally very good and at home it will be very tough. Still, an easier team than the others in that section bar USA and Canada.

As pot 2 teams go, South Korea are a good draw. A good team usually.

South Africa looks a favourable draw.
