    Can't wait for the start and the mouth watering clash between those two heavyweights of world football, Qatar (51) and Ecuador (46).

    If we can't top a group of USA, Iran (interesting match there...) And one of the minnows of Europe, or Ukraine, who's team will probably be too busy fighting a war to play, then we may as well retire from international football as a nation

    If Ukraine makes it to Group B the whole world will be rooting for them. I can the see the USA finishing 3rd or 4th quite easily.

    USA really don’t have the quality of some of the other pot 2 sides. 

    They’ll be up for it, as will Scotland, but we shouldn’t be losing those games.

    If we win (as we should) the group we play the runner up of group A.

    So that's likely be Qatar/Senegal/Ecuador as i can't see Holland not winning that group.

    Win that and the quarter final will be probably be France.

    Specific venues by match not announced however Groups A, B, E, F will play at Al Bayt Stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, Al Thumama Stadium and Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.

    Groups C, D, G, H will play at Lusail Iconic Stadium, Stadium 974, Education City Stadium and Al Janoub Stadium.

    So if we win the group we may well get Senegal/Ecuador?

    Decent run to the QF you'd hope before the tougher matches.

    Although by the looks of it we could get France at the QF point.

    Two other thoughts:

    - Qatar v Ecuador is a really dull opening to a World Cup.
    - Jermaine Jenas's agent must be a genius.

    Venues don't really matter at this world cup, the 2 furthest cities apart are only 45 miles. 4 of the stadiums are in Doha.

    You can pretty much stay anywhere in the country and still be able to easily get to any stadium.

    If England win their group, they would be scheduled to play round of 16, quarter final and semi final all at Al Bayt Stadium. The final is scheduled for Lusail Iconic Stadium.

    I assume the Qatari tournament directors expect they will finish second in group A hence the run of games at the same venue.

    Qatar v Ecuador but yes agreed.

    At least it should be a bit better than Russia v Saudi Arabia was in 2018!

    Plus there are four games on the opening day this year rather than the usual single game.

    Watching this in the US and with their flag waving, only USA slant, that catweazle guy who used to play center back of sorts for the USMNT about 30 years ago has answered the presenters question about a “path to the World Cup” saying he is very pleased with the draw and, with references to ‘98, states that every match in the group is easily winnable.  I never feel that way about the England team, and this is the claptrap we have to listen to over here, remembering that they secured qualification behind Mexico and Canada by avoiding a 6 goal defeat to Costa Rica…..they hung on for a 2-0 loss……

    I hope we absolutely stuff them

    So you mean we're not playing in this rather fetching design

    Luis Suarez v Ghana round 2. That one could be tasty.

    I should imagine Scotland will have an extra bank holiday after pushing Iran all the way to a 0-0 win.

    Going to be quite a different WC experience, rather than an endless build up and hype over a month where players have to get match fit again, the players will have a week between playing for their clubs and the WC

    Wonder if there will be any warm up games.
