I think the BBC's coverage has forgotten Scotland and Wales can qualify.

They covered it around 4.45ish

So Qatar buy the tournament and qualification...and also get themselves seeded.

Iran vs USA... (pretty sure that was a Group fixture in a previous WC).

Group looking good for Eng so far.

USA, Iran and Scot/Wales/Ukraine- that'll do.

Interesting draw. On the face of it pretty easy but haven’t we lost to USA each time we’ve played them at the WC…?

Group E looking tricky with Spain Germany and Japan

[Radec]

You could pick the top 2 from most of those groups.

Would be great to see one of the home nations join us, Wales have been a great watch recently.
You then have Ukraine with what's going on there it may spur them on to make it in.

Group E does look good and Japan could surprise Spain and Germany.

Group H is the most interesting to me as any of those sides have it in them to make it out.

Drew 1-1 in 2010 and lost 1-0 in... 1950.

[TTmonkey]

it would be funny to see England crash out because they think the draw is easy.

I’d be wary of USA.
