Loosely based on FIFA rankings:

Pot A: Italy, Netherlands, USA, Wales, Slovakia, Chile

Pot B: Scotland, Ukraine, Turkey, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Austria, Ireland

Pot C: Cameroon, Greece, Ghana, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Paraguay

Pot D: Cote D'Ivoire, Algeria, Honduras, UAE, Syria, New Zealand

ETA:

Forgot Chile and Bosnia

If top 2 from each group advance: (roughly based on current form)

A: Italy, Wales (assuming Bale comes back from the dead)

B: Ukraine, Austria

C: Ghana, Greece

D: Algeria, Cote D'Ivoire


Algeria is my dark horse to make the semi-finals.


ETA: I'm an idiot. Disregard this post.

He listed the pots, not the group's. 1 team from each pot would be drawn into a group.

Realistically, I think we will see a 6-8 team pre WC tourney on our soil. Some games against Italy, Chile, and Netherlands would be good for us.

Had them in originally. Removed them to make room for others. And they're fricking awful to watch and only made it to the playoff thanks to their garbage group.


Btw, rumour is that Michael O'Neill is going to be the next US manager.

They did better than Ireland who played hoofball the first leg or sat 10 behind the ball. Then got ripped to shreds when they tried to play expansive football.

Wales didn’t even make it to the playoffs
