Re: World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!
Seems the draw process could use a tweak when you have the #2 and #3 teams in the World win their groups yet aligned to meet in the Quarterfinals.
Oh, and England is now the highest ranked team left on their side of the bracket. The time is now for them to actually do something in a major tournament.
Mea culpa. Thought you were talking about a round of 16 matchup.
Nevertheless, that is also a natural consequence of teams being drawn from pots and not simply seeded on an s-curve 1-32 (or even 1-8).
It would make some sense for pot 1 to just be placed in the appropriate groups to create 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5? But I’m not sure where the host should fit in if they’re not a top 8 team...
At least they finally improved the group setup. In 2014 it could have been a group of 1,8,9,10...

To be fair, they’re not grouping the pots by Confederation anymore so that helps (too many times the US got screwed because of that). Though they’re using FIFA Rankings which isn’t much better.
But let's be real...There are 40 some other teams and only two alaskan teams...the day one of us wins something big will be the day I transfer to UAA

This game is infuriating. The constant bickering and jostling/jersey grabbing. Every freakin set piece. Geiger is gonna get torn apart for this game. Not sure if it will be warranted but it's gonna happen.
