Group F is the group of death for me. Germany should win it but Sweden and Mexico are both well matched I'd say and neither of them are mugs that Germany can just roll over. Korea aren't as bad as some of the pot 4 teems either to be fair.

There is no group of death. The new draw made it unlikely.

Depends what you mean by group of death. I just mean that's the toughest group/one that's most likely to have an upset or two. Most of the groups it's pretty straightforward who will qualify but I think this one is less obvious. The pot 2 and 3 choices are both good teams

Pretty even.... All the groups have either...

2 clear favourites

Or

1 clear favourite and 2 teams who will be fighting for that last spot. Plus possibly a dark horse.

A decent group for Belgium and England, both should make it out of the group comfortably. Russia's group.... I mean.... Tell me they didn't fix it so they get the weakest team..... Most of the time the host nation do progress. Kinda expecting the same.

Doesn't look like that at all to me. For my money, Uruguay and Egypt are both better on paper than Russia. If you were going to fix it you could've given them a far easier group. Fair enough they don't have and Argentina/Brazil/Germany etc. but that's because as the host nation, they're automatically in pot 1

I think Mr. Eriksen and his fellow Danes have a decent chance of going through. The French should walk it but Oz & Peru don't fill me with much dread.

Some Spurs v Spurs players perhaps ?

Well Paddo Spurs, loving the your wtf rating LOL

England v Belgium could mean the following players -and any permutation thereof -a possibility of playing each other (if selected by their managers)

England : Rose, Trippier, Winks, Dier, Alli and Kane.

Belgium : Alderweireld, Dembele and Vertonghen
