Does the fact that there are still teams left to qualify enhance or take away from your enjoyment of it?

I think it enhances it for me.

Is there any big team the US hasn't played in a World Cup? Like Japan? That would be fun

France? NED?

true, you haven't played Spain either. The draw doesn't offer much variety.

I don’t think they’ve ever played either of those teams.

They haven’t played Argentina since the original tournament, and I got that feeling.

Please Iran, please!

If I didn't see the rankings and assuming favorites move on, I'm pretty sure I'd think Pot 3 was Pot 4 and vice versa.

This is weird.

Whenever the guy who designed the Qatari flag is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where's the guy who designed the Qatari flag?"

The emir wearing a wife-beater under his shirt is a surprise.

Shame those people died when they could have just become mascots

Just when I thought I couldn't love this any more, Carli Lloyd makes an appearance.

As bad as this is you know it’s gonna be 10 times worse when the draw is in the US in 4 years. If Allegiant Stadium isn’t selected as a venue (likely from what I’ve seen) don’t be surprised if the draw is there and makes this spectacle look like a pharmaceutical convention

I think the sacklers are mad that this wasn't their template.

they still have to interview all 32 balls

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:50 am

English press already complaining about the short prep time I imagine.

Also, this is stupid and a waste of 45 seconds each time for this first pot.

people actually complain the draw itself goes too fast, so they have slowed it down

I predicted every red ball correctly.

Aw fuck we got a "haitch" guy

Gets interesting now finally. Let’s go draw US in Group A!

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:55 am

Fuck yeah

Post by **brian** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:56 am

I’ll take England honestly.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:56 am

The Dutch in Group A leaves the door open for Canada to get Group A

Post by **brian** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:57 am

Of the 8 options probably the third best at least.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 11:59 am

I guess Canada needs to avoid Group E!

That USA vs. England is on Black Friday
