    I guess Iceland is my team....

        The hosts took care of the hosts. Conveniently, each ball was instantly vaporized after it went into the disposal bin.

          Though there's going to be record corruption in this World Cup it's fair to point out that the hosts are always taken care of.

            Was hoping Russia would have a tougher draw but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Uruguay and Egypt come out of that group.

            Best part is that Mexico will finish 2nd at best in their group and most likely have to play Brazil round of 16. Ha!

              And England might even advance.
              Group F is a somewhat Group of Death, South Korea and Sweden are better than people think.

                The test gave me Mexico? Really? Really? The test begins, "With the U.S. out of the running, take our quiz to find the best team for you" and you let Mucking Fexico be an option? Changed my answer to Question 6 and got Peru. That'll do.

                  That's what I was thinking. Looking at FIFA's rankings they have Germany 1, Mexico 16. Sweden 18. Portugal 3, Spain 6 then it drops way off with Iran and Morocco.

                            I got Los Ticos. Still CONCACAF and not México so that works.

                            I'll be rolling with them and Iceland next summer.

                                I could see myself cheering for the Ticos since my club has a couple guys playing for CRC.
