Why these rules that a European side has to be in each group or no two non-european sides from the same federation?? I noticed Iran was swiftly moved from USA's group
The groups A: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Denmark/North Macedonia/Czechia/Republic of Ireland B: Canada, Qatar, Switzerland, Italy/Northern Ireland/Wales/Bosnia & Herzegovina C: Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, Haiti D: United States, Paraguay, Australia, Türkiye E: Germany, Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Curaçao F: Netherlands, Japan, Tunisia, Ukraine/Sweden/Poland/Albania G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand H: Spain, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Cabo Verde I: France, Senegal, Norway, Iraq/Bolivia/Suriname J: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Jordan K: Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan, DR Congo/Jamaica/New Caledonia L: England, Croatia, Panama, Ghana
Iran’s games will all be in Mexico or Canada. If they get out of the group it might get interesting seeing the hoops that are jumped through until it’s engineered that they are knocked out. I’d love to have the strength not the watch any of this ridiculous **** next summer, but I probably will.
Lyndon Dykes running the front line v Brazil is going to be the stand out performance of this World Cup
Very soft draw for England. There through to the quarters already…….. Australia will have a passing glimpse of the event. Paraguay are vicious….. use to have to play them as part of our old World Cup qualifying games. They kick, they spit, very nasty country who think it’s their god given right to play in the World Cup. There is certainly some padding in the whole draw. Who the fudge is Suriname????? Is there a first name team?
Look what the orange turd picked up from his equally dubious mate. United States President Donald Trump received the inaugural Fifa Peace Prize before the draw for the 2026 Fifa World Cup. The award has been introduced this year by Fifa president Gianni Infantino, designated for a person who has "taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace" and "united people across the world". It was widely expected that Trump, who arrived at the ceremony with Infantino and has made several public appearances with him in recent months, would be the winner. That was confirmed at the ceremony in Washington DC on Friday. As well as receiving a large golden trophy, Trump was also given a medal and certificate by Infantino before making a speech. please log in to view this image
Suriname have strong Dutch connections it used to be a Dutch colony. It has some very useful players playing in the Dutch leagues. In fact the best part of the Dutch team could have played for Suriname.
