Yahoo! World Cup Draw 2022: How to watch, how it works and what the USMNT will root for

quote:

The 2022 World Cup draw is, on one hand, completely random, but on the other — well, consider this: The United States has a roughly 11.8% chance of drawing Portugal, a 0% chance of drawing Germany, and a 30.5% chance of drawing the winner of a single European playoff.

What sucks is that the European playoff team is our most likely draw from pot 4, which could be Wales - by far the toughest draw and eliminates any "easier" team.

Edit to add: and we cannot draw New Zealand because they are grouped with Costa Rica.

Wales or Scotland don't scare me.

Not saying we would walk over them or anything, but our best XI talent level is equal, if not better.

They make this shite too complicated. Why all the “this one can’t play that one”? You essentially negate the advantages of being in a good POD.

Part of the fun of the World Cup is playing nations you usually would not play.

I mean, the only reason we hate Ghana is because we've played them in our last three World Cups.

This is wrong because history shows we have a 100% chance of drawing Ghana.

It’s dumb they draw before the two playoffs are over. What’s waiting a little while longer? We already moved the World Cup to frickin November.

I agree, but I'm still riding on the high of being able to actually look forward to a World Cup again, that I'll allow it.

I plan to go home for lunch, but is this an event that will actually start the draw on time at 11:30 or will there be 30 minutes of talking and buildup until the draw actually starts at noon?

Planning on taking a brief respite at 9am to watch the drawing.

Remember this is the world cup for which Bill Clinton took bribes from Qatar for the Clinton Global Initiative in order to sandbag his presentation for the United States as a host nation.

Will these be our World Cup away kits or is there a whole other round to be launched prior to Qatar?
