Welp, I thought the US national team had it secured. Open mouth, insert foot.

Anyway, today is the group draw for the World Cup. I seriously don't know why would they do it so soon, when there are still three playoff matches to be played. Couldn't they wait until I don't know, May or early June for that?

FIFA doesn't know what they are doing. They give Wenger some weed and take notes on everything he says should be changed about Football then collect money in bribes

The matches to be played are all delayed for one reason or another so no doubt they just decided not to postpone. It was also probably this early because they kept the same schedule a summer tournament would have.

Time for the English media to be even more insufferable for the next 8 months until the exact moment England have to face a competent country.

They haven't learned their lesson from the 'EASY' thing in 2010. 1-1 draw incoming.

None seem to be a real group of death this time but C and E take it for me

Group C isn't a group of death. Argentina is going to run through that group. E has the best team in Asia, Germany, and Spain who are both on the up in terms of form. Group H is very interesting and I don't think you can drop points and expect to advance

Also a grudge match in there, first time Uruguay and Ghana have played since Suarez's handball

I don't get the grudge. Ghana got a penalty for the handball and they missed. Sucks for them

C also has Poland and Mexico, both very capable teams. As for H, i'd say only Portugal and Korea are a level above, would be surprised if either dont get through

As for Ghana, there's no grudge in the sense that they were cheated, they should have scored the pen, but you'd be pissed if your team lost due to some gamesmanship

Bet your ass Suarez has no remorse about it and he would do it again if he had to.

Group C might be interesting. Mexico has a tendency to sometimes play up to their level of competition. But their CONCACAF octagonal run has been subpar and they really haven’t been able to score goals.

I can’t stand Guillermo Ochoa and I would love it if Messi and Lewandowski hat trick his ass. Carlos Acevedo should get a chance in goal for Mexico.

Poland always look like a good team on paper but never amount to anything in tournaments. Mexico is overhyped, more so this go around than previous, but they aren't that good. Uruguay are sneakily really good. They still have their old guard but their youngsters are really solid. Gimenez, Araujo, Bentancur, Torreira, Valverde, Nunez, and Maxi Gomez are all really good players and are pretty young. Group H is way tougher than people are giving it credit for

I bet you 99% of people who are serious about winning would have done what he did. And 100% of Ghana would have been ok if the positions had been reversed. This is all a bunch of bullshit whining because Ghana didn't go through to the quarter finals

Suarez’ handball might not even be the craziest thing that happened in that quarterfinal game. Sebastian “Loco” Abreu’s Panenka penalty to win it for Uruguay was crazy and ballsy.

I basically don't watch football any more, and intended to actively avoid the World Cup, but I'm giddy thinking about all the different ways this could be exceptionally dumb and gay. The football will be terrible, but the media shitshow will be amazing. Whoever at FIFA booked this group is a genius.
