FIFA WORLD CUP 2018

[Marty]

Should win that group. Belgium are as poor in tournaments as us and Roberto Martinez is their manager.

Very optimistic but I really like the group.

If we fail to get out of that group we might as well stop playing international football.

 

[WiganSpur]

Think we'll go through in second unconvincingly

 

[kaz Hirai]

Belgium and Tunisia to go through

 

[mightyspur]

Russia vs. Saudi Arabia as the opening game. Glamorous!

Lost to a supermarket last time, this time a canal?

B looks like a really hard group. Iran and Morocco probably the most impressive from their continents in qualifying.

 

[Guntz]

Looking forward to Toby and Kane both taking each other out and missing the start of next season #spursy

Should win that group. Belgium are as poor in tournaments as us and Roberto Martinez is their manager.

Meanwhile, on a Belgian website...

Should win that group. England are as poor in tournaments as us and Gareth Southgate is their manager.

 

[bomberH]

Possibly Rose, Winks, Dier, Alli, Kane, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dembele on the same pitch for our opener.

Edit: Trippier too!

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

England v. Belgium

Spurs attack v. Spurs Defense

0-0

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

We ain't getting out of that group

Russia vs. Saudi Arabia as the opening game. Glamorous!

Yeah, I think the World Cup might start on the 15th June for me.


The fact that there are 5 time zones in Russia is already confusing me trying to work out kick-off times...

 

[mark87]

We play on Monday, Sunday and then Thursday.

Might as well get as many woolwich players in the england squad, they'll be used to playing Thursday and sundays.

Possibly Rose, Winks, Dier, Alli, Kane, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dembele on the same pitch for our opener.

None of whom will still play for Spurs at this point if you believe the papers...

No messy Friday/Saturday nights after a boring 1-1 draw for England fans.

Oh yeah I forgot about him. That's so true!

 

[markiespurs]

Decent looking group for England, which means we are screwed

 

[Cavehillspur]

For the neutral those groups are pretty ghastly. There's only 3 matches of the entire group stage fixtures that look interesting

Spain v Portugal
Belgium v England
Argentina v Croatia

Otherwise meh

 

['O Zio]

If we don't get out of that group it's a disgrace. Pretty much a dream draw. Whether it's us or Belgium that win it just comes down to which of us shows up properly - both us and them are notorious for underperforming at tournaments
