    As the official draw is tomorrow... was wondering if anyone has done any mock draws. There's the seedings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding#Pots ... try and do a random draw. I used a random number generator and came up with this:

    A
    Russia
    Colombia
    Iceland
    Morocco

    B
    Brazil
    Switzerland
    Tunisia
    South Korea

    C
    Germany
    Croatia
    Costa Rica
    Nigeria

    D
    Portugal
    Spain
    Egypt
    Australia

    E
    Poland
    England
    Iran
    Panama

    F
    Belgium
    Peru
    Senegal
    Saudi Arabia

    G
    France
    Uruguay
    Denmark
    Japan

    H
    Argentina
    Mexico
    Sweden
    Serbia

    Opening match - Russia vs Morocco

    I guess group H would probably be the closest thing to a group of death... Mexico are always up for the 2nd round, Sweden the giant killers of the qualifiers... Group C also looks pretty tough, assuming Costa Rica bring their 2014 form with them.. but no real groups of death there.... Portugal-Spain-Egypt would be fun

    What do you guys get? Can't wait for the real thing tomorrow.

    Both mock draws here and yesterdays fifa Mock draw have Mexico with Sweden
    I would love to see :
    Germany
    Mexico
    Sweden
    Nigeria
    We don't get a chance to play these that often.

    The worst scenario for me would be :
    Poland
    Mexico
    Iceland
    Saudi Arabia

    It would still be fun though !

    In many simulations yesterday I had England and Australia in the same group so now I'm hoping this happens!

    I think many, if not all want to avoid Russia and the opening game just so they don't have to pay that ridiculous extra fee for the opening game, especially cat1-2 ticket holders. Jixes!!
