Should be pissing that group opening day win v Iran Draw v USA I reckon Scotland/Ukraine should be a win but both sides will be emotionally hyped for different reasons USA last game hopefully the other one might cause issues
A reminder of why one of the teams in the group is uncertain... Wales are in the play-off final, where they will face the winners of Scotland v Ukraine - who will hopefully play in June. If that game gets played, the final against Wales will be a few days later.
As an Englishman in the US... Losing to USA would be horrible. As an Englishman in the world... Losing to Scotland would be horrible. Thank Allah that I don't know any Iranians.
Well last game in group could be against Wales or Scotland I think that makes it even harder psychologically. I expect them two teams to be fighting for 2nd spot come last round of games so beating England will be important along with obvious fierce rivalry. banana skin as I do t see England winning 2 out of opening 2
Yeah they gonna be pumped to play England, even though on paper they aren't as good. Bit like when you lot play us
The draw in full: Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Netherlands, Senegal Group B: England, Iran, USA, Scotland/Wales/Ukraine Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland Group D: France, UAE/Australia/Peru, Denmark, Tunisia Group E: Spain, Costa Rica/New Zealand, Germany, Japan Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea group H defo group of death imo South Korea to cause some upsets
Poland always flatter to deceive in tournaments from what I’ve watched Argies n Mexico go through for me
