Thread: 2018 FIFA World Cup

  1. #1

    2018 FIFA World Cup

    So, the World Cup draw will be decided this December 1 and the pots to decide each group have already been made (using FIFA rankings, which as a usual, are shit), so, since I do enjoy ranking things from time to time, here we have the teams from each pot from worst to best.


    Pot 1:
    8. Russia
    7. Poland
    6. Belgium
    5. Portugal
    4. Argentina
    3. France
    2. Brazil
    1. Germany


    Pot 2:
    8. Peru
    7. Switzerland
    6. Uruguay
    5. Mexico
    4. Croatia
    3. Colombia
    2. England
    1. Spain


    Pot 3:
    8. Tunisia
    7. Costa Rica
    6. Senegal
    5. Iran
    4. Iceland
    3. Egypt
    2. Denmark
    1. Sweden


    Pot 4:
    8. Panama
    7. Saudi Arabia
    6. South Korea
    5. Australia
    4. Morocco
    3. Japan
    2. Serbia
    1. Nigeria

    Also, discuss football and stuff.

    FIFA 18 will have the lowest US ratings of all time, I predict.

    Best "Group of Death" possibility:

    Serbia
    Denmark
    Spain
    Argentina

    I forget if there's a rule that countries from the same continent can't be in the same group or something.

    Brazil
    Spain
    Sweden
    Nigeria

    That would be a group of death.

    In before Peru and Morocco qualify from that group (Russia is pretty mediocre right now).
    Although, you can't have two teams from the same confederation except for UEFA.

    Sub out Morocco for Panama. Although Saudi might be able to join along right?

    It's going to be a bummer that majority of the games will be between 12AM-4AM

    Yes (and they're arguably worse than Morocco).

    We're going to need a lot of coffee.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I mean, it'll probably be the last time we see Messi/Ronaldo play in a World Cup, so I'm there.

    Hope belgium draws a tough group. It should toughen them up for what lies ahead. Italy not making it was an uppercut though.

    Will be interesting to see if Germany goes far again. Just missed being over here for the last one, so kinda curious about how crazy it really gets if they win.
    *coming soon*

    Final draw is here.


    Russia's group is kind of a joke.

    What are you looking for? Usually anything notable is very easy to find.
