Why would Wales be in pot 4? They were ranked 20th in FIFA's FebruaryThe teams from June's playoffs go to Pot 4. That was one of the contingencies I've mentioned.
10 rankings. That was ahead of Serbia, Poland and others. Since then
they beat Austria and drew with the Czech Republic. A bit puzzled by
this, unless some really good results from a few years back fall off
their record or something.

DonrCOt know exactly what they have in mind but I get the impression that any such activity during the tournament will be forgotten about pretty much as soon as the final whistle blows. But if they were to boycott the tournament that would forever be in the history books. To this day the Moscow Olympics are known as the boycotted Olympics.

It would be so good if a few prominent nations boycotted this. The England camp has been making noises about raising awareness over certain issues. DonrCOt know exactly what they have in mind but I get the impression that any such activity during the tournament will be forgotten about pretty much as soon as the final whistle blows. But if they were to boycott the tournament that would forever be in the history books. To this day the Moscow Olympics are known as the boycotted Olympics.Are they ? Doesn't that rather depend on where you come from ? After
all, the African teams boycotted in 1976 (29 countries in all), and 14 Eastern Bloc countries boycotted in 1984.
There were also boycotts on some scale or other in 1956, 1964, 1988,
and even the 1966 World Cup.
Nothing would raise awareness more than the likes of Germany and
England boycotting this thing, doubt it will happen though.

It would be so good if a few prominent nations boycotted this. The England camp has been making noises about raising awareness over certain issues. DonrCOt know exactly what they have in mind but I get the impression that any such activity during the tournament will be forgotten about pretty much as soon as the final whistle blows. But if they were to boycott the tournament that would forever be in the history books. To this day the Moscow Olympics are known as the boycotted Olympics.Are they ? Doesn't that rather depend on where you come from ? After
all, the African teams boycotted in 1976 (29 countries in all), and 14
Eastern Bloc countries boycotted in 1984.
There were also boycotts on some scale or other in 1956, 1964, 1988,
and even the 1966 World Cup.
Nothing would raise awareness more than the likes of Germany and
England boycotting this thing, doubt it will happen though.

for FIFA to reform was to take away the awards to Russia and Qatar.

True. But Qatar has the added issue of migrant worker abuse.
There are literally people dying as we type this, getting the infrastructure ready for the event.
So what do you think is the easiest and the toughest?
Group A: Qatar (hosts), Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador
---- I think this is the weakest group, Netherlands have an easy ride here... may be Ecuador can pose a bit of a problem.
Group B: England, United States, Iran, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine
--- Most dramatic group. Iran seems like the toughest of the Asian teams. If Ukraine qualifies, the drama quotient goes up. I think England wins the group easily. But the second spot is for grabs. Fairly tough for the second spot.
Group C: Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia
---- Argentina got an easy one here. I think Poland are pretty disappointing though they beat Sweden. They could even finish bottom This is not a very interesting group unlike many other news sources seem to claim
Group D: France, Denmark, Tunisia, Peru/Australia/UAE
Poor Denmark. They could have got an easier Pot1 opponent. I haven't seen Peru, but if they qualify they will make it interesting.
Group E: Spain, Germany, Japan, Costa Rica/New Zealand
Wow... this is a tough one and closest to group of death here I think. Costa Rica is no longer the same. But they will go past NZ. So that would make this group close to group of death.
Group F: Belgium, Croatia, Morocco, Canada
Canada is the most likely underdog going to bomb. Croatia may not be the same but should progress
Group G: Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, Cameroon
LOL, hasn't Brazil played these teams before. The battle for second spot will be tough, but Brazil are winning this world cup, so they romp through this.
Group H: Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana
Competitive one but probably the most boring after Group A
Not a terrible group for Canada, though they may not win a game unless they play Kanadian katenaccio.
LOL, no. This actually is the closest to a GoD. All 4 teams have quality.
Brazil, Switzerland

Brazil, SwitzerlandI'd like to point out here that Serbs planned to win the WC,
but latest friendly with Denmark (they lost 3:0) which I enjoyed quite a bit gave them some doubts about that.
Still, Vlahovic didn't play and they can do better than that, they
always overhype themselves, but caution is needed since they have a good coach
and will definitely want revenge again Swiss considering what happened
in 2018,
for those who don't remember, provocations from Albanian Swiss players
and more
than obvious uncalled penalty on Mitrovic.

Watching the pre draw now on TSN. Interesting that Canada's most

Talking of Croatia and Serbia - if either win their group and the other finishes runner up and they each win their Rof16 match then they give us the gift of a Croatia v Serbia QF.
So what do you think is the easiest and the toughest?I'll add some predictions, sophisticated-style.
Group A: Qatar (hosts), Netherlands, Senegal, EcuadorI think the Netherlands are the team to beat here, with Senegal and Ecuador being front-running favorites for 2nd (with an edge to Senegal there, since they have better players than Ecuador). If 2nd place indeed comes down to
---- I think this is the weakest group, Netherlands have an easy ride here... may be Ecuador can pose a bit of a problem.
Group B: England, United States, Iran, Wales/Scotland/UkraineAgreed about England topping the group. No idea about who gets second, though. 0.92 England
--- Most dramatic group. Iran seems like the toughest of the Asian teams.
If Ukraine qualifies, the drama quotient goes up. I think England wins the group easily. But the second spot is for grabs. Fairly tough for the second spot.
Group C: Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Saudi ArabiaA bit of a novelty for Argentina that they won't have to face Nigeria in the first round. This happened in five of the last seven WC's, only missing out 1998 (different groups) and 2006 (Nigeria failed to qualify). They should top this group, with Mexico pipping out Poland for second.
---- Argentina got an easy one here. I think Poland are pretty disappointing though they beat Sweden. They could even finish bottom This is not a very interesting group unlike many other news sources seem to claim
Group D: France, Denmark, Tunisia, Peru/Australia/UAEI think this is in France and Denmark's hands, regardless of who comes through from the AFC-Conmebol playoff. Peru might be a little tougher than Australia or the United Arab Emirates, but not enough to push for a spot I think.
Poor Denmark. They could have got an easier Pot1 opponent. I haven't seen Peru, but if they qualify they will make it interesting.
Group E: Spain, Germany, Japan, Costa Rica/New ZealandI wouldn't call it a group of death. I can see Japan or (probably) Costa Rica putting up a fight and stealing points here and there, but wouldn't bet on them
Wow... this is a tough one and closest to group of death here I think. Costa Rica is no longer the same. But they will go past NZ. So that would make this group close to group of death.
Group F: Belgium, Croatia, Morocco, CanadaI'd like to see Canada doing well here, but it's hard not to see Belgium and Croatia taking the top places.
Canada is the most likely underdog going to bomb. Croatia may not be the same but should progress
Group G: Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, CameroonAlmost a copy of Brasil's 2018 World Cup group. Brasil is expected to win this group, but it certainly won't be a cakewalk, just like it wasn't in 2018. For what it's worth, Serbia and Switzerland are the teams that sent Portugal and Italy to the UEFA playoffs. Will Cameroon show up and play? It's something they don't do for a while in a WC now.
LOL, hasn't Brazil played these teams before. The battle for second spot will be tough, but Brazil are winning this world cup, so they romp through this.
Group H: Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea, GhanaCompetitive indeed. Uruguay will have to watch out, as these three teams were eliminated by them in the 2010 and 2018 WC's, and may be seeking for revenge.
Competitive one but probably the most boring after Group A
Germany beat Yugoslavia 4-1 in 1990 in I think the first game, one of the best games, if not the best game that i have ever seen Germany play. Ahhh, those were proper days. Not even the Brazil game comes close to that. And I mean that.

Are you Mr.Lily.White?Based on what I saw in the CAF qualifiers, Senegal are not that good in spite of having some big names. Their match against Egypt was poor.Senegal are loaded. The Mendy-Koulibaly-Gueye-Mane is spine is as good as any in the world. They could actually top this group.
Group A: Qatar (hosts), Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador
---- I think this is the weakest group, Netherlands have an easy ride here... may be Ecuador can pose a bit of a problem.
Netherlands, Senegal
I am Indian so technically brown lol
Senegal, next to the Dutch, probably have the best centre back pairing in World Football. Granted, Egypt were kinda poor, but i like Senegal's chances in this WC.
None of that matters when you cannot score goals... Hail Mary kicks from far outside the penalty box doesn't work in this day and age.
Of course we are all rooting for Ukraine, but I also love theAre you sure US has it easy?Easy ride for England.
Group B: England, United States, Iran, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine
--- Most dramatic group. Iran seems like the toughest of the Asian teams. If Ukraine qualifies, the drama quotient goes up. I think England wins the group easily. But the second spot is for grabs. Fairly tough for the second spot.

Argentina and Mexico have had wonderful games in the past,Poland - unless Lewandowski does something great are going out. I think they are overrated.Argentina, Poland
Group C: Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia
---- Argentina got an easy one here. I think Poland are pretty disappointing though they beat Sweden. They could even finish bottom This is not a very interesting group unlike many other news sources seem to claim
Denmark has a history of playing brilliantly in the group stage. TheyDenmark are the most exciting team in Europe. The Erikson angle makes them the team I want to win.
Group D: France, Denmark, Tunisia, Peru/Australia/UAE
Poor Denmark. They could have got an easier Pot1 opponent. I haven't seen Peru, but if they qualify they will make it interesting.
Yes, same with me. I like Denmark since the Laudrup brothers. Bendtner was annoying though. I hope they play exciting just like the Euros.
Looks like Germany and Spain to me.Kinda, Spain and Germany are two teams that were good 10-20 years ago. Though if i understand correctly they play brazil or portugal and Germany ( should they make it) have a good record lately vs Portuguese speaking antions.France, TunisiaTunisia? Are you sure they are this good? Even over Peru?
How exactly is this a GoD? Two top teams and two below average teams.
Group E: Spain, Germany, Japan, Costa Rica/New Zealand
Wow... this is a tough one and closest to group of death here I think. Costa Rica is no longer the same. But they will go past NZ. So that would make this group close to group of death.
Japan is good IMO. Costa Rica was disappointing in the qualification, but they will make it difficult. Could squeak in some draws
Walk in the park for Germany and Spain.
I havent' seen Canada. They did win CONCACAF over US and Mexico!Group F: Belgium, Croatia, Morocco, Canada
The Africans tend to disappoint, of course, but this could turn out toI want to say Kanadian katneaccio is something no one in Europe will ever understand.Belgium, Croatia
Canada is the most likely underdog going to bomb. Croatia may not be the same but should progress
They were the best CONCACAF team... but lack of experience will bite them.
yeah it is Brazil and someone else. Brazil as muxh as i dislike there German like efficeincy has to be favourite to win this thing.But Brazil is way ahead :-)LOL, no. This actually is the closest to a GoD. All 4 teams have quality.
Group G: Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, Cameroon
LOL, hasn't Brazil played these teams before. The battle for second spot will be tough, but Brazil are winning this world cup, so they romp through this.

I dont do anti weafaux ing, but this is as close as I come.
haha. This is not the same Brazil as from the Pele days or even the Ronaldo days.
Ghana were great in 2006-10 but haven't been near that since. SouthI think no one from this group is very good... and hence this is the worst group, even worse than the Qatar group.I dont think Uruguay is as good as people think. Ghana want revenge ( If I recall correctly that they were the team that Saurez hand balled them in a couple of WM ago).Group H: Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea, GhanaPortugal, Uruguay
