Grupo de la muerte isn't really a thing anymore with the pot system.

England's is the hardest on paper.

L and I probably.

Not classic weights, but those are tough groups for the favorites in each.

Wont have as mic a group of deaths anymore since they expanded the field

Two of the group matchups I’m looking most forward to.

Norway-France
Brazil-Morocco
England versus Ghana and Croatia too

I would love to say that for the USA but would feel that it would jinx them

Top two from each group, as well as like 8 third placers.

So, 32 out of 48.

Would the US team qualified if they weren’t the host?

US for sure.


Mexico, I disagree.

South Korea will be solid.
SA sucks.
Playoff D is: Denmark North Macedonia, Ireland, and Czech.
I would say all four of those teams give Mexico problems.

We would have, especially in an expanded field.

That’s what I was thinking too. The toughest by name recognition has got to be Englands though right?

I think so too even though the soccer board loves shitting on the USMNT, Poch has been tooling with the lineup and seemingly has them positioned for a deep WC run.

Norway is really good and has one of the best players in the world, but people seem to be propping up Ghana a lot because of their past World Cup history, but this current iteration of Ghana is not good at all.
