I’m not sure what all goes into scheduling games but I’d imagine FIFA would try their best to make it to where the US and England are set up next to each other should they make the round of 32

It's all drawn at random... that's what FIFA wants you to believe at least.


Here's video of the World Cup draw for Qatar.

My point is, even if FIFA were to rig the draw to where the US and England are in groups that would match up with each other by the round of 16, there would be so many other factors involved considering you don't know who would finish in first or second of their groups and then there is the whole wild card of ranking the third place finishers to see where they would go if they advance out the groups.
