World Cup 2018

[Stranded]

Australia beat Honduras 3-1 to qualify in Pot 4.

[windermereROYAL]

Confusing to see Spain in pot 2, they haven't lost for as long as I can remember, how can they be 8 in the world? I'm sure someone will put me right.

[Silver Fox]

Didn't they have a shitty world cup last time out? That's got to hamper your ranking

[Sutekh]

Can't wait for 2022 and seeing Qatar seeded into pot 1

[Ascotexgunner]

Can't actually believe I'm saying this but I really hope England do well in this WC. I like Southgate, he is at least being honest and for me making England look more interesting. He's trying to build a unit rather than fill it with the perennial underachievers like we saw in the past. Had Fat Sam been in charge I think I d have hated England, and quite frankly, like most of his teams, it would have been another boring, turgid WC for England. 1998 was the last time I wanted England to do well, that team was exciting and let down by sadly by the petulance of a certain person.

Stuff all that, when does the Panini collection for the finals come out.

[bcubed]

I'm hoping Esso bring back the player coins

[Sutekh]

[bcubed]

That's the fella

And you've got the lot and still in your possession!

Very impressed

I was one coin short
Then my Mum threw it out

[AthleticoSpizz]

Wimmin win 5-0

Readings Farah Williams scoring one of them

[Hendo]

Stuff all that, when does the Panini collection for the finals come out.

I think it will be around May.

Last world cup, I was adamant that I wasn't going to do it as it would be a colossal waste of money.

My step brother (who was collecting) got me the book and a bunch of packs and forced my hand

I will be unashamedly be doing for the 2018 however

[Sanguine]

Draw prediction -

Argentina, England, Senegal, Japan.

Group of death - Brazil, Spain, Costa Rica, Nigeria.
Group of life(?) - Poland, Croatia, Tunisia, South Korea.

[Sutekh]

Hoping for a Carabao Cup type of draw for the first time FIFA show their faces for one of these things since all the corruption came out into the open and was then promptly swept under the proverbial carpet so they can just carry on as if nothing happened.

Live on Radio 5 from 3.20pm (GMT) and BBC-2 from 3pm (GMT) on 1st December. Supposedly it's meant to be all over in an hour or so....

Nailed on Russia in our group, opening tie of the tournament, and the stadium and surroundings will be trashed

[dean horrix legend]

On BBC news this morning they said two trial runs were done and both times England were drawn with Brazil.
