Not to mention Ronaldo avoiding the two game ban to ensure he's playing.
Like you say, it's already beginning to smell and it's still a good six months away.

As I was saying. This ‘build up’ is perhaps the most farcical thing I have ever seen.

Typical American shite. Its a world cup draw get a legend in talk to them then straight to the draw.

Oh god it gets worse.

Surprisingly hard first game.

im not vehemently anti Trump like many people but that ceremony where he got the made up peace prize was beyond ludicrous.

He looked like Muttley begging for a medal off Dick Dastardley.

What the hell are FIFA doing getting involved with shite like that?

Stick to the football.

Infantino is a disgrace. *Game's gone*

Having teams that far down the pyramid is daft, absolute cannon fodder in there.

Perhaps Tuchel won't be as lucky with the draws as Southgate was!

GOOD! I want us to make the final having beaten some decent teams.

I'm happy with Croatia as an opener. Really get them sharp early

The potential route to the final is horrendous as group winners as is runner up. Spain, Argentina Brazil all sit in our path. Providing they top their groups

Lets top the group first, before we start worrying about future opponents.

That's our potential route though. 

[roversfan99]

It also relies on those other teams topping their groups, and then theres a round of 32 which will have plenty of crap in there too.

In the past weve been fortunate with results in other groups.

If we win the group its potentially Mexico then Brazil then France then Spain

There would be a game before any of those due to the ridiculous tournament size.

[chaddyrovers]

I can see the merit of trying to expand the competition to get more teams but also to help these smaller nations improve

It's got nothing to do with helping small nations improve.More matches means more money for the corrupt organisation FIFA
