F could be tough if Sweden get through.

 

[tomw24]

Tough group for Holland.

 

[Libby]

Literally one semi interesting group.

Shambles of a tournament.

Ghana for us

Groups C, F, I and J look pretty tasty to me.

“This is Christiano Ronaldo’s first game”

 

[Libby]

Dull as ****. Rest Kane till the knockouts imo.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Germany and Belgium won't break a sweat in those three group games.

Edit: Maybe Egypt might give Belgium a game.

 

[It'sOnlyAGame]

Ghana for us

@Billy Bates will be pleased.

It really pisses me off that people don't take Ghanaian football seriously these days.

Who knows? Saudi Arabia beat Argentina last time. I think it will be lot better than people think. There's plenty of tasty looking games despite the amount of teams.

Yeah buzzing to watch Algeria vs Jordan at 2am on a Wednesday.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Ghana is Sulemana and Salisu, right?

Even if we mess up and finish second, we'll still only run into the runner-up of K. We're not one of the groups where the runner-up will face a group winner.

Win the group - possible KO path: Random 3rd place team; Denmark, Brazil, Argentina, Spain
Runner-up - possible KO path: Colombia, Spain, Belgium, France, Argentina

I will love it regardless. Can't f*cking wait.

The odds of Mexico - South Africa being the opening game again with the host swapped must have been low...

Algeria could shock Argentina. Austria won't be an easy game either. I mean come on, some games you can easily skip.

 

[Libby]

Don't see any pot one teams falling at the first hurdle. Canada maybe.

Yeah, Mexico too.

Well I certainly won't be watching the 2am game every day for 2-3 weeks

There's interesting matchups but my real problem is the lack of jeopardy in it for the big nations.

 

[Libby]

Yeah, Mexico too.

They'll be fine imo. Especially at home.

Think they'll win their group regardless of who comes through play off
