I'm being dead serious. Almost every group has the potential to be a "Group of Death" this World Cup. Going to make for an incredible group stage and some huge surprises IMO.

I think before we all freak out and expect the worst, lets all list teams from each pot that you would not contemplate suicide over if you drew them.


POT 1: Switzerland, Uruguay

POT 3: Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Nigeria, Cameroon

POT 4: England, Greece, Bosnia, Croatia, Russia

Only teams I would say that wouldn't have a chance.

This field is so stacked.

Well every team has a chance, but I would probably take the USA in a match against any of the teams I listed above.

Yes, even Uruguay on South American soil.

You don't think that Cavani and Suarez might give our CXb's problems?

Is it really possible that Honduras is going to be in pot 2? I saw a Forbes simulation that said so.

Swiss, Nigeria, and Greece got them earlier in a simulation.

What?

That's how it works.

Pot 1 is the top 8 seeds

Pot 2 is CONCACAF and Asia

Pot 3 is CONMEBOL, Afica and the lowest ranked UEFA team

Pot 4 is UEFA

Thanks, Broski.

ETA: It should be based on the UEFA Model for the UCL. Can you imagine the USA amd Mexico in the same group. Oh my.

We could have a group with 3 UEFA teams. That would be interesting.

I am sure that the UEFA team in Pot 3 would be paired with a CONMEBOL team from Pot 1

Based on what?

It's all (supposedly) random.
