Just so i understand correctly, each group has one team pulled from each pot?
Yep! One team from each pot in a group.Just so i understand correctly, each group has one team pulled from each pot?
Correct, with some teams from each pot being ineligible based on the teams pulled from the previous groups.Just so i understand correctly, each group has one team pulled from each pot?
Nope not good at all... First try got argentina/USA/poland/Cameroon. Pass
First try was Belgium, USA, Serbia, and Saudi Arabia. Second try was Brazil, USA, Serbia, Wales*. Third try was Brazil, USA, Poland, Cameroon. Fourth try was Qatar, USA, Poland, Ghana. That last grouping would be my favorite...Nope not good at all... First try got argentina/USA/poland/Cameroon. Pass
Portugal and Belgium look the least threatening in my opinion. Belgium is at the end of their golden generation and don't seem too confident aside from KDB. Big if, as KDB can take over a game single handedly, but Lukaku and Hazard have been eh. Don't see them going in with much confidence on top of being aged. Portugal's offense scares the hell out of anyone but their defense is eh. When you're relying on a 67-year-old Pepe, that shows none of the younglings have stepped up.Obviously we want Qatar from Pot 1 in our group.
But aside from Qatar, who would you want most in our group from Pot 1? And what about the others?
From pot 1, obvious Qatar, second would be Belgium or England cause they tend to shit the bed.Obviously we want Qatar from Pot 1 in our group.

you dare go against Ghana?!First try was Belgium, USA, Serbia, and Saudi Arabia. Second try was Brazil, USA, Serbia, Wales*. Third try was Brazil, USA, Poland, Cameroon. Fourth try was Qatar, USA, Poland, Ghana. That last grouping would be my favorite...
I'm almost inclined not to want Qatar, because I think host countries generally over-perform, but yeah, they're clearly the weakest Pot 1 team. I agree Portugal and Belgium are weakest of the rest.Obviously we want Qatar from Pot 1 in our group.

I like the presentation, i think they have some good insights, though I disagree with their assessments. (and they had one incorrect part.)
Wiebe points to group of death if we get Brazil from pot 1, and then says peru or ecuador from pot 4 which is impossible.
I would say that group of death would be:
Brazil, USA, Serbia, Cameroon.
Easiest group imo would be
Qatar, USA, Tunisia, Saudi
That easiest group also couldn't happen (Qatar and Saudi can't be together).
