Druggies going to the World Cup, all integrity is gone. Should have been banned.

Vile country. Never met a Peruvian I liked me.

New Zealand are pretty unhappy as images circulate online of laser pointers, on FIFA's 2017/18 list of banned items for stadiums, being shone from the home crowd at NZ players including goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic last night.

Naughty Lib!

Disappointing but hardly surprising.

Sincerely hope the match is thrown out in court.

I'm hearing whispers of shocking tales involving Peruvian fans strapping drugs to fireworks and firing them directly into the anuses of the New Zealand players shortly before kick-off, resulting in performance-sapping side effects - quite contrary to the performance-enhancing effects of the drugs their national heroes chose to take.

 

[Dirk]

Hoping we get Peru. Would be great smashing the drug addled cheats.

Peru is in pot2 like England for the Draw.
So you won't get them in the group stage, earliest in the next stage (only if both teams make it, of course )

Pot1: Russia (Host), Germany (1), Brazil(2), Portugal (3), Argentina (4), Belgium (5), Poland (6), France(7)

Pot2: Spain (8), Peru (10), Switzerland (11), England (12), Colombia (13), Mexico (16), Uruguay (17), Croatia (18)

Pot 3: Denmark (19), Iceland (21), Costa Rica (22), Sweden (25), Tunisia (28), Egypt (30), Senegal (32), Iran (34)

Pot 4: Serbia (38), Nigeria (41), Australia (43), Japan (44), Morocco (48), Panama (49), South Korea (62), Saudi-Arabia (63)

Did they expect any less from South America?

Fuck you. Don't make a joke out of this. You have destroyed football.

Might actually boycott the World Cup. Feel like the competition is degraded now thanks to Peru.

Ok, bye then

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Hopefully we get a group like this-

Russia
England
Iran
Saudi-Arabia

 

[DarkSithLord]

Id prefer Poland to Russia but otherwise I agree

 

[Super_horns]

Got Argentina, Denmark and Nigeria then France, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.

England

That would mean a Russia/England opening game in Moscow. Hope you bring your gum shields this time!

 

[epic73]

help i don't have a team

 

[mistermagic]

Support Mexico.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Panama?

 

[Flustercuck]

Not possible.Iran and KSA are in Asia.Two teams from same continent can't draw in same group apart from Europe

 

[AnkleBiter]

Surprised to see Nigeria in pot 4. I'm no African football expert but how did they end up 13 places below Tunisia?

Worst group for England would be Germany, Costa Rica and Nigeria I think.
Best Poland, Tunisia, Saudi's.

 

[SALTIRE]

help i don't have a team

I got Argentina, Spain, France to root for. There's always a team to follow!

I'm sure England had Uruguay and Costa Rica in our 2014 World Cup group?

Nigeria didnt even qualify for the Afcon this year. So presumably results have been poor generally.

I’d rather have Russia than Poland tbh

 

[Super_horns]

Will FIFA try to do something to ensure Spain for example are kept away from a Brazil/Germany?

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Why are Spain in pot 2?

 

[mistermagic]

Not the same confederation (South America for Uruguay, North & Central for Costa Rica).

Wasn't far off!

 

[Vanni]

Here's another Peruvian player who's quite clearly drugged up to the eyebrows -

 

[Dirk]

Why are Spain in pot 2?

Spain is #8 in the fifa rankings atm and we have 8 pot 1 teams. Unfortunately, bloody Russia occupies one of the pot1 places because they are hosting the World Cup. Russia's actual fifa ranking is #65 and that is the worst of all 32 teams!

Disagree. Panama are by far and away the worst side in the tournament.

(unless you meant in the Rankings, which in fairness, they've only played friendlies since the Euro's).

Of course I meant the rankings, didn't you read my post? . So what? Even if you have no competition matches because you're the Host you could do way better in the fifa rankings by playing lots of meaningless friendlies against good teams and winning them and better your position. Although friendlies don't count as much as competition matches in the calculation of the fifa rankings they still count. But To rank behind Cape Verde at #65 atm is proof that Russia is shite in football and the place in pot 1 should be given to the 1-8 teams in the fifa rankings and not to 1-7 + 65.
