Yay, guess afternoon games for the US matches
Edit: read the graph wrong
Oof, match day 2, USA v UK at 8am est, the day after Thanksgiving. That's going to ruin those viewership numbers and sucks for anyone living in the west coast

It seems we won't be getting any 5 am or 8 games! I think the earliest is 11 am. Or maybe 10 AM as there's a 18:00 time against Morocco.
There's a couple of groups of vita tho.
translator's note: vita means life.
I think most Canadians feel the same, including the coaches and players. A team with no pressure and expectations on them can be pretty damn dangerous. Enjoy the experience and don't make anything easy for the other team.

I think we can all agree that the best case scenario is for both teams to be out in the first round.
Hopefully that thread gets special rules so that doesnt happen, no point in having a world cup thread otherwise
Not if you're also trying to teach a lesson whilst the kids team is playing. I can just picture England v Scotland happening whilst I'm trying to teach a bunch of English kids as a Scot.
Being confident about going through isn't arrogance. It's an 'easy' draw by everyone's estimation and there doesn't even appear to be a group of death.
Southgate you're the one.Brazilian TV think we'll be taking them on in the final.

I realise England got rid of some of its demons when they knocked Germany out of the Euros but the chances of them beating France and Portugal, two teams who they've lost to in hilarious ways in the past, in the same tournament is very optimistic.
Hope that kills you.
Edit - also just realised it is right as Y11 do their mocks this year. That will be interesting.
Spain and Germany will coast in group E unless they underperform spectacularly. Group H is hard to predict, but none of those nations are contenders so I wouldn't call it a group of death anyway.
England really did get lucky here, drawing the struggling US as their toughest opponent, and Group A as their reward in R16
Someone referred to it as the "Group of Life" since they all have a chance of advancing. I think it was H anyway
You're the most optimistic Scot I've ever met!
Just because they're not contenders doesn't mean it's not a group of death, Group H is a very difficult group for any of the teams to get out of, hence it's a group of death. Japan are well capable of an upset in Group E as well, the Germans aren't the same side they were, although we'll learn a lot more about them in the upcoming Nations League games.
Believe me I don't think we will qualify - and to be honest, I'd love Ukraine to for obvious reasons - but the kids at school will be awful if we do and proceed to lose to England. I had nice kids tell me before the Euro match England would smash Scotland 7-0.
Also, If people think this place is bad for 'it's coming home', then imagine every lesson hearing that about 10 or so times, mixed in with Siu and Let's go here and there.
I can't remember them playing France at a World Cup, I was referring to England's collapse against them at Euro 2004.
They've also not met at the WC since 82. France has since won two WC and two EC, while England still chases a second international trophy.
1 W (friendly) in 8 matches since 99 too, for 5 losses.
Safe to say their record against France is mostly awful, even taking into account that France had a way superior team for most of those time periods.
I mean they only met twice and that was 40-60 years ago, not sure that's a good metric now
Well, no matter who gets through the playoff whether its us, Wales or Ukraine, they'll be the easy pick for me to support, especially in group B.
But the person was talking about England notoriously losing to them. Englands only real competitive loss was 2004 and it's not really that noteworthy of a loss to them as they still made it to the KO rounds.
Winter tournament is odd. Not quite the same vibe in the town's up and down the country compared to summer for sure.
Hey hey now, I would either be supporting our fellow Celts or the world's second team.ABE's strike again!
Canada were the CONCACAF champs, don't underestimate them. Their backline and central midfield isn't great, but they have two solid outside backs in Richie Laryea and Alphonso Davies, a front three that's ruthless in Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan and Jonathan David, a trio of pretty good keepers and the supporting cast can get the job done on the day. They're very well coached.
