None of Pot1 play Pot2 in any group in first match
In 6 of 8 groups Pot 1 plays Pot 4 first match
England drawn against former or current colonies (no, I don't think Ukraine will be playing unfortunately).
Many Swiss players are of Albanian or Montenegren descent, not lovers of Serbia.

Re: NFL Playoffs 2022 (following 2021 Season) and what not
I do think the Rams win but there are a couple disturbing trends:
Rams are 0-3 in Super Bowls when facing a QB whose last name starts with B
Last time the Rams as the favorite faced a second year QB in their first Super Bowl, it didn't end well.

I think the Kraken are going to be in a lot of games this year. They outworked and outplayed VGK 5-on-5 most of the game. VGK's first three goals were a direct result of a turnover then explosive transition speed. Kraken got 31 shots on goal and Vegas blocked another 19 which is a pretty good road ...
