The 2018 World Cup Draw (qualifying)

[Ernest]

I don't think we'll see Simon Brodkin there somehow

 

[TomandJerry]

I'd like to be in Scotland's group!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

How have Wales been seeded in to pot 1?

The throw of a Dai?

"players and fans will be greeted by real Russian hospitality"

Wait what

Which if they are black, gypsy or gay is likely to be a singularly unpleasant experience

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Dodged and bullet in group A

[Kinky Gerbil]

England vs Scotland

 

[Prince Monolulu]

We'll win the group at a canter, then get knocked out first stage at the real thing.

 

[Frutos]

How have Wales been seeded in to pot 1?

Because the FIFA Rankings say they're currently the 10th best team in the world.

Slovakia
Scotland
Slovenia

Tough group

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Would've been funny if Lee Nelson threw a Malaysian airline model plane at Putin or something to show up that c**t

It would be shot out of the sky before it reached him, though.

[Dirty Dave]

Really? 10th best in the world? Really?

 

[TomandJerry]

Group A and G look the hardest to win

 

[Irrelevant Memes]

Wales are so jammy (although Serbia as the pot 3 team isn't too favourable)

 

[nicko31]

Its a fix to make sure England qualify as we spend the most tourist $$$

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

The 2018 WC is a bit like the 1936 Olympics.

Except that Jessie Owens would get an even worse reception than he did then.....

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Really? 10th best in the world? Really?

Winning games is what matters, the quality of opposition in those matches less so.

This was why Switzerland were so highly ranked for so long (lots of easy games)

This is that only reason why ii want England to do well, so that we don't handicap ourselves for later tournaments, if it didn't matter, then i wouldn't be upset if we failed to qualify

 

[Butch Willykins]

Tough group

The toughest bit will be watching 900 mins of turgid football on ITV.
