And US I believe will play Iran last in the group.

[NewtonHawk11]

Argentina, Mexico and Poland is a nasty group.

And US I believe will play Iran last in the group.

Correct. Since we were drawn in the position B3, we will play B4 then B1 then B2. The game vs. England will be on Black Friday.

[NewtonHawk11]

France has a damn cakewalk.

[NewtonHawk11]

So the 2 toughest groups are Spain, Germany and Japan in E and Argentina, Mexico and Poland in C.

[UnholyLivingDead]

Yeah Japan is no slouch. Group C and E are pretty stacked.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Ghana coming up for US, right?

[NewtonHawk11]

Holy shit. Wales or Scotland or Ukraine.

Not ideal.

[UnholyLivingDead]

The winner of Scotland vs. Ukraine plays Wales. The winner of that match goes into Group B. We have to wait until June.

[NewtonHawk11]

You don't want Wales. Gareth Bale is still a terror.

[NewtonHawk11]

Wales is ranked better than Iran. Ouch.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Canada fared well. France with a laugher. US has their work cut out.

[NewtonHawk11]

Not lost on all of this. Runner up in group B plays the winner of group A. That's likely to be the Netherlands. That's a winnable game. To have your round of 16 game include Netherlands, Qatar or Ecuador is huge.

US HAS to advance.

Err.
Belgium is a top 5 team ( and lost recently in a very good match v Euro winner Italy ). And Croatia did very well in the last World Cup ( is Modric still going to play ) and is still a solid squad.

I'd rather be in our group than theirs.

Go Scotland.

[Sparko]

No Italy still looks weird.

[CrimsonNBlue]

No Italy still looks weird.

Getting used to it at this point, and no tears from me.

[NewtonHawk11]

All US games kick off at 1pm Hawk Time

[pdub]

In November.
Stupid.
But our game against England is the day after Thanksgiving.
( Battle 4 Atlantis same week )

World Cup matches take priority over everything
