Curiously, I had France win with my predictor and then again with the generator!

Are you at all interested, who would you like to be together?

 

[Whiteley Saint]

I don't want England to get Japan. I want to cheer Maya on and not hope they lose so England scrape through.

I agree, same for Morocco though.

 

[Whiteley Saint]

Russia, England, Iran and South Korea.....if you could arrange that please. Torn a bit as I like the host nation to get somewhere in the competition, but needs must....England comes first.

 

[Saintmagic]

Germany,, England, Denmark/Egypt, Serbia please

I don't class this thread as "off topic". This is a football forum after all.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Germany,, England, Denmark/Egypt, Serbia please

Can't have 3 European clubs in a group. I presume you are hoping that this will keep England away from Germany in subsequent rounds...good thinking.

What time is the draw?

That's what I want but would like Panama as tgink it'd be pretty cool to play them

What time is the draw?

I agree, shall we just drop the prefix completely?

 

[Saint Helen]

I don't care

 

[ChilcoSaint]

I don't care

I couldn’t find a “Welsh people look away” prefix unfortunately!

 

[Whiteley Saint]

I don't care

Support Maya 's Japan.

 

[Libby]

Support Maya 's Japan.

Back to the good old 'ABE' for the next half century

 

[Saintmagic]

So what is the hardest group England can get? The one I posted I think is the hardest on paper but not allowed as too many European teams? I guess Brazil/England/Egypt/Serbia?

I said this many weeks ago! Top a group containing Germany, and there's every likelihood of avoiding the other top seeds in the last 16, Spain apart who may also top their group. QFs beckon. All that is needed is to get rid of those awful shirts. The RU white is so much better.

 

[Saint Helen]

Support Maya 's Japan.

I'll barely be watching probably, as no Italy either but yes, I'll support our lovely Maya

 

[thereisonlyoneno7]

As long as England don't get Italy...oh hang on
