    Weren't the Ruskies in a terrible group last time as well? Hardly matters, they are getting anywhere this time either.

    That would be pretty hilarious, but I think the Ruskis will qualify 2nd in the group.

    I don't rate Russia, but you'd have to imagine they're getting out of the group.

    If only because football isn't exactly pristinely uncorrupted, and if there's one result that they'll be trying to guarantee...

    To be fair, I think Russia are the 2nd best team in the group. Salah can only do so much, the rest of that team is pure trash

    Egypt and Uruguay. Egypt aren't even about Salah, he's just the icing on the cake. No side in the tournament will play more as a team.

    The worst group ever was 2002's effort between Russia, Tunisia, Belgium and Japan.

    Egypt vs Uruguay is probably the game I’m most excited about in the entire World Cup. Salah vs Suarez

    The World Cup is always a better tournament when the best players are playing. So the Salah thing is a shame.

    Where’s the rest of the groups?

    And before anyone says that I can do it, no I can’t. I’m far too lazy.

    It's really not. Egypt are irrelevant in the scheme of it all.

    So are Senegal, Mexico, Ireland etc.

    Let's just have a four team knock-out between Germany, Brazil, England and Italy every four years.

    They are indeed. That's why I don't mind us not qualifying. No business being there, along with most of what's currently there.

    I've already said I'd love to see a 16 team competition made up of Europe/S. America. 4 is too few.

    I have Suarez for top scorer, so I'm after him blasting all the goals in all three group games as I can't see them getting far in the knockout stages.

    This seems an incredibly joyless way of experiencing a world cup. Underdogs are half the fun.

    It's not like international football is ever particularly high quality, so Paraguay lolling Italy out in the group stage is about as good as it gets.

    The whole fun of a World Cup, regardless of who wins and loses, is that there are teams from all around the world who have different football cultures and play in different styles.

    I know. Maybe we can make the CL just the top ten teams from Italy, Spain, England, and Germany. Done. Get in.

    Would be a far better competition with a higher number of relevant games then. Wouldn't go 10 but I'd go 5 from each and just cut through numbers overall.

    Giggles doesn't see the point in wasting time on weaker teams. Just play the final.

    I'm sure he probably hates all cup competitions except the charity shield.

    We should let the countries buy players, and put them on contracts. That way, we could concentrate the best players even more, and ensure that the quality of those teams exceeds even the best that current international teams can put out! Get every player worth a damn in, say, eight teams. Then have them play a round robin or something. The quality will be through the roof.

    Satisfying!

    Then it would just be Qatar v Brunei in every final.

    In no way would I ever want transfers between international teams. I'd even tighten up the eligibility criteria much more than it currently is.

    Uruguay
    Egypt
    Russia
    Saudi Arabia

    Each of the top three will thrash Saudi Arabia. Suarez and Salah the difference makers, enabling their teams to qualify for next round ahead of Russia.

    Salah is crippled.

    I'd love it if Russia didn't go through but I suspect Vlad would Novistock the shit out of any ref that stopped that happening.

    I thought he was going to be fit for the start of the tournament. I think Egypt still have a chance of qualifying ahead of Russia without him though.

    He's not as crucial as you'd think. Egypt are a well oiled machine and he's just a nice luxury to have. No one ever understands this though in tournament football, they just look at names.
