[northnorfolkwolf]

England out 2nd ball. Will play on opening day 21 November.

 

[Macman]

USA , cant complain at that!

 

[JadeWolf]

England v USA

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

USA in our group. Good draw that!

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Mexico in with Argentina.

 

[Macman]

Id say USA is probably the easiest team from Pot 2.

 

[JadeWolf]

Spain v Germany in the group, decent that!

 

[USA Wolf]

Looks like we can go ahead and pencil in the USA topping this group.

Hopefully the rest of the draw will be favorable for England to not go home early

 

[MolineuxMixer]

We're gonna win the World Cup!!!

 

[Sussex Wolf]

****ing hell BBC. You knew what time the draw was, why the **** didn’t you just show it on one channel? What a bunch of dumb buggers running this service.

 

[JadeWolf]

England v Iran

 

[Macman]

Iran! **** me this draw is going well! Lets avoid Wales/Scotland etc in Pot 4.. piece of ****.

Aaargh don't say that - still remember 2010! We were in Rustenburg to watch USA v Ghana because we'd anticipated being there as group winners. Traded our England tickets because our flight home was the next day. Watched the England game in Johannesburg airport.

 

[waggys left foot]

Assuming both win their groups and first knock out -France awaits in the quarter final

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

England v Iran on 21 November

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Southgate is such a lucky manager when it comes to draws

 

[Sussex Wolf]

It’s going to be fun watching USA vs Iran !

Listening to Jenas brought out my inner Alan Partridge.

"Nearly, you said haitch. "Ha" is the sound of the letter, aitch is its name. One is ha, the other is aitch. Neither is "haitch"."

 

[thetwistedsock]

Imagine USA v Iran

 

[jrpb-3]

Imagine USA v Iran

They’ve been drawn against each other before I think can’t remember which year

EDIT 1998

Iran won 2-1

 

[JadeWolf]

Belgium v Morocco, aka Dendoncker v Saiss

 

[Macman]

Saiss v Dendoncker

 

[sc91]

Beautiful, all set nicely for the England hype train to kick into gear with an easy group before crashing out 2nd round.

Beaaaautiful.

 

[Macman]

Belgium v Morocco, aka Dendoncker v Saiss

Beat me to it!

 

[JadeWolf]

Korea v Portugal, aka Hwang v Moutinho, Neves, Neto, Semedo, Sa

 

[JadeWolf]

England v Wales/Scotland/Ukraine

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

England v Wales/Scotland/Ukraine

That had to happen! 29 November. Get it in the diary.

 

[Macman]

If Scotland win the play off, they actually stand a slim chance of finishing second in the group and qualifying for the knock out stages for the first time ever.

come on Ukraine….

You can’t help but root for Ukraine really!

 

[clivewolves]

Corbeanu could join Saiss and Dendoncker in group F.

It's a very good group for England, but also a very good group for whoever wins the European playoff. Ukraine, Scotland, and Wales will all fancy their chances of finishing second if they make it.

 

[SA Wolf]

I'm sure they could have made that draw more complicated!

 

[sc91]

Come on Ukraine!

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

OT I know but while many may be on here don't forget Wolves U23s V Forest live on OS at 7pm!

So following the draw, those in the same Confederation cannot be placed in the same group.

But those in the UEFA (Confederation) can.

13 European teams and only 8 groups so some European teams had to be drawn together.

 

[Hawkguy]

Such an amazing feeling to hear our name called.

And I'm honestly fine with the draw. I think we could finish 2nd or 4th just as easily.

I know. but why should that stop others being drawn together. If you get drawn you go into the group you are drawn into.

 

[Hawkguy]

Corbeanu could join Saiss and Dendoncker in group F.

Doubtful. His decision to stay with Dons was probably his way out. I don't think there's any ill will but he's not played much and we are deep at wing.

He could change minds if he comes to Nation's League and plays well.

 

[JadeWolf]

I guess it’s just to give it a bit of balance.
