Belgium actually scares me a bit. That Tunisia team no one is talking about and they are the highest ranked African nation in the cup.
No but Senegal and Poland are in the same pool and i picked them both at plus money so hopefully one of them slides by Columbia to win it.
Really like this Uruguay squad to make one more run at this championship and have one helluva favorable draw.

It isn't fifa that decides that. It's what we submitted for a bid.
Wondering how they'll handle the auto qualifier "host" nation. I guess since they expanded to 48, they won't have a problem letting all 3 teams in automatically, but if it had been 32, I feel like it could have been dicey. Throw Canada a bone I guess?

hoping one of these two get picked. KC may be a definite as it is the only centrally located stadium on the list. I wouldn't even care if it was 2 scrub teams playing.
