I think England seem likely to have the easy side of the draw if all the favourites win their groups (which they won't). Top is England, France, Belgium, Portugal which seems much kinder than Netherlands, Argentina, Spain/Germany, Brazil.

It’s a shame Portugal have that gimp in charge as well as being forced to play Ronaldo as their team ON PAPER !!! Is ridiculously good.
Costa; Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Mendes; Palhinha, Silva, Fernandes; Felix, Ronaldo, Leao

Also, is there not a Qatar 2022 thread?
Make that the best ten sides. My point stands though. I'm not saying it's worse than England's, but the Brazil squad for example drops off pretty hard once you get to about 16 on the squad list.
If that's true then there's really even less excuse for playing the turgid shit we do and going out of tournaments in the same way each time.
Conor Gallagher's 4 England caps have totally passed me by.
England's quality drops off pretty hard once you start trying to write names onto the teamsheet.
Fingers crossed something, literally anything, happens this half.
A thing happened! Genuinely so bored before that I don't even care it was Villa scoring.
Ah, a calamity after a raking ball to the back post. A very Solskjaer era goal to concede by a very Solskjaer era looking time.
Villa are already looking pretty tasty, good ebening indeed, you mongs.
You're better off out of the league pot. Next games (4th round) are played two days after the World Cup final.
Been a pretty fun second half after the misery of the first.
Garlic Nacho actually looks a decent player, get out of EPL before brexitball kills you, lad.
Maguire is seriously lucky that there aren't many good English centre backs about.
Second half was fun. I am liking the look of Garnacho thus far.
He's got one of those unique superstar names we had a thread on that time, so he's a certainty.
If Vincent Kompany could dump his old club out, that'd be grand.
Bournemouth looking at Bielsa. We need more of his batshit crazy football back in the league.
Other than having the same colours as Newell's and better weather than Leeds, I'm not sure what Bielsa would be getting out of that gig. But sign me up.
Amad balling for Sunderland tonight.
The next 45 mins are going to show Arsenal fans just how frustrating a title push against City actually is.
Queue up the dodgy penalty/goal and red card to Brentford followed by Guardiola looking smug in post match interviews.
Ben Doak on the bench again today @Waffdon
However Goe Jomez and Trent on the same side yet again...
Some excellent time wasting from Brentford here. Why 10 minutes added on?
Laporte got twatted in the head.
Ivan Toney is a don.
Southgate in the mud.
KDB properly bottled that challenge.
Transferred Big Tone out this week in fantasy football.
Arsenal are definitely Leicester this season. Winning the league with about 80 points like the good old days.
I've no idea why Liverpool are not currently banging on the door trying to sign him.
Nah, City are still pretty much on course for 90 points.
Yeah, he suits any team really. Has it all. Penalty taker, absolutely giant, presses like an absolute mad man and has a very decent touch.
Havard Flo was shocking.
Toney clearly had money on him to score twice and Brentford win.
Maddison potentially injured.
I’m shocked Harry Kane has had another decision go his way, the massive gimp.
Lampard surely sacked in the morning if this keeps up.
I really hope Eric Dier starts at the World Cup. Absolute abomination of a footballer.
Gomez and Trent are both dogshit.
King Kazu with his second of the season
That Everton defence is hilarious.
Edit: just the 6 centre mids starting for Chelsea
Great third goal by Leeds.
Christ, Pickford looked awful this afternoon.
Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount as your two number ‘10s’ is genuinely tragic.
