You'd be laughing if you were English with a group like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Decently balanced draw, although Group B and Group F would be pretty tough groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Have already booked a half day every day there are afternoon games. I love the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Fine if you can. No way I'll be seeing any of the 3pm or 4pm weekday games. So the decision is - record and catch up (skipping though stoppages, half time chat etc) or wait for brief highlights before the 7pm or 10pm game?

accies1874 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Really looking forward to seeing what panama have to offer, would love it if they could pop up with a shock win or something, unlikely but who knows. Senegal with Mane ect.. could be a good watch. Also peru and Egypt who I've never seen in a World Cup before, should bring a lot of colour and diversity to the tourney.. oh eh and Iceland in their first World Cup too, gonna be interesting.. Love a World Cup! Obviously depends on the draw but I’d have Senegal as the dark horses at the moment. Koulibaly, Idrissa Gueye, Keita Balde and Mane are all great and they’ve got some others playing in top leagues, including Mame Diouf, Mo Diame and Cheikhou Kouyate from average Premier League clubs.

TheCelt67 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 June the 16th, which happens to be my birthday, (don't worry lads, a card with a tenner will suffice), has four games scheduled. I'm hoping that at least two of the games will feature some of the bigger nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely agree with that, very good players. Will always remember the first game of the 2002 WC in Japan/South Korea, Senegal vs France first game an Senegal winning 1-0 against the then world champions, it was the first WC I'd properly watched all the way through. . They had some very decent players then too, Papa Bouba Diop, Henri Kamara, Salif Diao ect.. but think this team could be even better. Jesus, just realised I was 10 in 2002.. feeling auld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Senegal were starting to look like they could go all the way until they ran out of steam in the Turkey game. Presumably Bruno Metsu would've shuffled the pack a bit more if he'd realised how far they could get. I'd no idea Metsu had carked it a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Draw is a week today (possibly time to retire this thread and have a lead up to the finals thread).There was a rehearsal draw today and England ended up with Belgium, Senegal and Japan and appear to be utterly cacking themselves at the prospect of getting a real group of the same magnitude. How the mighty have fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senegal may be pick of Africans but not too much to worry about and Japan haven’t really kicked on since hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
