Thread: FIFA World CUP Russia 2018

The future world champs,the Socceroos are 3-0 at 88mins,looking good,the rest of the world are starting to tremble at the news.

Congrats to the Okkers, there may be lasses in Moscow who've never had a close encounter with a Bogan of the third kind

The draw is 1st December.

How much do we want them drawn in England's group?

(A: A lot).

It takes a bit of work to organise, but a World Cup predictor would be a good idea if we could get it together. Predict the results, group winners and then each of the rounds culminating in the final. Extra points for predicting things like the top scorer. The equivalent of 500-1,000 baht each would be a decent pot at the end.

Something like this: http://thenewnabshead.co.uk/wp-conte...-PREDICTOR.pdf

I'd do it, but I'm gash at things like Excel.

Just wait until the draw. Free ones will pop up all over the place.

In fact if I can find it, there is a website that lets you run competitions like this and all of the scoring and table is done for you. I've used it before for a PL comp.

Da-daaaaaaaaaaaa!

Here you go, fill your boots.

No harm in a bit of banter.

'Fixed' ? ... maybe 'a positive bias towards European Teams'.

I'm sure every World Cup Organisers dream is a Final between a European Team and a South American Team.

A Saudi vs Iceland wouldn't be a major drawcard.

The group pots are related to a mix of rankings and location , complexities here, by Sat am Paddy Powers will have the SP Krauts to top Argies in final?

2018 FIFA World Cup seeding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup will take place on 1 December 2017 at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.^[1] It will determine the group in which each of the 32 qualified national teams will play in at the start of the tournament. The teams will be divided into four pots of eight, with one team selected from each pot to form a group.
Unlike previous editions of the World Cup, all pots will be determined by each national team's October 2017 FIFA World Ranking, with Pot 1 containing the highest-ranked teams, Pot 2 containing the next highest-ranked teams, and so on; in previous editions only one pot containing the highest-ranked teams was determined by rank, with the other three pots determined by continental confederation. The hosts will continue to be placed in Pot 1 and treated as a seeded team, therefore, Pot 1 will consist of hosts Russia and the seven highest-ranked teams that qualify for the tournament.
The draw sequence will start with pot 1 and end with pot 4.^[2]
As with previous editions, no group may have more than one team from any continental confederation with the exception of UEFA, which must have at least one, but no more than two in a group.^[2]
Seeding[edit]

All teams will be seeded using the October 2017 FIFA World Ranking standings,^[3] which numbers in brackets show, released on 16 October 2017.^[4]

Well for example England had a better qualifying record (10-8-2-0) than Poland (10-8-1-1) yet Poland are in Pot 1 and England in Pot 2.

And the fucking argies, who just about scraped through on the last day, are in Pot 1 as well.

It's all a fucking joke.

Not that it matters, because England will probably draw two, lose 1 and be on a plane home before the knockouts.

Lineker to lead host with a cast of famous stars from winning nations

Former England forward Gary Lineker, a long-standing critic of FIFA, will present the World Cup draw alongside Russian sports journalist Maria Komandnaya at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow on Dec. 1.
Lineker has often questioned the conduct of FIFA to his 6.7 million followers on Twitter — particularly the integrity of the bidding process for the 2018 World Cup that England lost.
"FIFA bidding process created a murky world where favours/bribes were just thrown around. Stinks," Lineker tweeted in June after the investigation was published that cleared Russia of wrongdoing.
In 2016, Lineker highlighted "FIFA's basket of deplorables" and separately tweeted that "FIFA is awash with corruption and self serving practices."

Usual fucking shit, some hag bellowing some rubbish Russian pop song and a poncey dancer.

Get on with the draw you fucking posers.

Pretty table here, just refresh it.

Portugal and Spain in the same group.

Well done Lineker, slipped in that "Diego has always been good with his hands" in both English and Spanish.
