Michael Laudrup, hell of a player. Classiest guy I've ever seen in a pitch.

So. Everton. What on earth is going on there?
And will Allardyce ever stay away?

Last World Cup (that we were in) we beat France, we can do it again! Although, they seem to be in a better shape today than in 2010 :hmm:

Liep, master of understatement.  :P Of course, French supporters prefer to recall '98. ;)

Russia got a reasonable draw too, with Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Of course, there is Uruguay, but they can make it.

Group D looks like fun. And Portugal gets a tough draw which is always a good thing.

How did Poland end up in Pot 1?  :huh:

ICeland qualified for the world cup? :huh:

I know they had that monster Euro a few years ago, but I wouldn't have thought they'd continue with that kind of success.

In a year with no Italy and no US, the fact that Iceland made it really stands out.

They won their group iirc. And I like that you didn't mention Holland's absence. :P

I was pretty sure there was another big soccuer country that didn't make it, but couldn't immediately pick out who it was from looking at the countries. :P

If anything they improved after Euro '16. I would expect them to beat the US or Holland any time the way they're playing now.

Yes, Chile.  :P

Rather than Iceland Panama making it is the bigger shock given North America has fewer places
