So I guess Group E could be considered a group of death? Doesn't really look like there is one though tbh

Group H could be real good if every team goes in with an attacking mentality; all of those teams can beat each other.

Group D could be a toss up, depends on how Argentina plays. Can’t wait for Iceland to send England home in the knockouts.

Group E and F are both pseudo-GoDs, which is kinda fun.

Group H looks awesome, the no-defense group.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

There's nothing close to a group of death in the draw. Group A is a loving joke of a group, no surprises russia is in it

Che storia figata, ragazzo!



2014 was great but it's long gone, we probably won't do nearly as well this time against proper European teams like the mighty Serbians, instead of the easy garbagemen we faced last time. I just hope Brazil beats us 5-3 not 5-0

It will own when Mexico finish last in the group though.

I'm ok with group C for Australia, after France it's just Peru, who were an intercontinental playoff winner over the Oceania champs, and Denmark, who were a runner up playoff winner out of a really weak group. We've had so much worse before.
