World Cup Draw Friday 5pm (15 replies)

All very confusing how it will work on Friday (Start time 5pm)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c997y4l20jgo

But reading through it seems we could be drawn in a group that includes

England/Morocco (11)/Panama (30) & someone like Italy (12)/Turkey (25) via play offs all currently in the top 30 rankings

or a favourable group like

England/Australia (26) /Saudia Arabia (60)/Haiti (84) or even New Caledonia (149) via play offs

Seems like they've got a computer to help, as the draw is so over complicated.

There are probably hardier or easy computations but a click through, these would probably run close

And they have Village People closing the ceremony as they are Trumps favourite band

Not sure I can sit through 90 minutes of it all (especially Infantino presenting Trump with the FIFA Peace award, might tune in for the last 45 minutes for the draw
