🌎 🏆 World Cup Group Stage Draw 🌎 🏆


Recommended Posts

Just noticed that (if we make it etc etc) the Iran game is 1pm local time with the other 2 being 10pm(!), all at the same stadium which as far as I can see doesn't have a roof.

Anyone looked at the numbers on how much hotter it is during the day?

I think that info is provisional and kick off times and venues are still to be finalised? 🤔

Playing Iran in the midday sun won't be great, TBH. Still, will worry about it if we qualify.

How far ahead will Qatar be then?

Yeah I noticed that 2 of “our” games are at 7pm our time and the other is a Friday at 10am. If we qualify I might well book the Friday off work 

Yeah that's my plan too.

I'm delighted with those kick off times tbh. Really really want to qualify now.

I agree with the people who thought the draw was a bit rubbish. I was hoping for a South American team and more of a fun draw rather than a pragmatic draw.

If we qualify, England are starting to become a bit Israel-y tbh.

Group at Euro 96

Playoff for Euro 2000

Group at Euro 2020

Group at Qarar 2022

Don't get me wrong the potential to knock them out is absolutely w**k worthy, but the reality is it would likely be the other way round, and they'd be insufferable.

I'd much rather folk were getting carried away than listen to the same, negative, tired pish from silly old c***s like you. Honestly never got anything positive to add.

It's called being pragmatic. We 2 tough games to come( Ukraine match doubtful) and then a trip to Cardiff. Very tough. And with a raucous Welsh crowd behind them it will be a cauldron that will give Wales an extra lift. But, thank you for calling me a c**t. Apparently they are lovely things. I wouldn't know mind you.

Playing England every year is not exactly groundbreaking.

Given that it hasn't been a regular fixture since 1989, I'd argue that it is a bit of an anomaly to draw them as often as we have done (the only playoff we were both in and 3 out of 4 major tournaments).

You can add in the Russia 2018 Qualifiers too.

Hopefully they are left to regret the decision not to play the game at the Millenium stadium, then.

We didn't draw them in Euro 2020, we were guaranteed to be in their group due to the hosting situation.

Unless I've missed it don't think anyone has picked up on the fact should we make it the Auld Enemy fixture will be exactly 150 years - minus one day - since Scotland and England played the first ever international football match.

This has to be a good omen.

Predict our luck will hold and we will go through after a penalty shoot out in Cardiff after disposing of Ukraine.

Wales are unbeaten in 18 games at home, the vast majority of which have been played at the Cardiff City Stadium. Think it includes a draw v Belgium and some other decent competitive results too, so they'll be delighted to play there tbh.
