I'm listening to radio coverage by TalkSport in the UK. They were just talking about water breaks being required to deal with the weather in this World Cup. Might need drinks breaks in this draw. No idea why they take so long over draws like this. No-one wants to watch this stuff. The only radio coverage of the draw so far has been a comment that Kevin Hart is very short.
They have been padding for 80 minutes so far, not surprised they've had to talk about the weather. Not an easy job. Apparently the last World Cup draw took 80 minutes in total.
I'm surprised it might start before 2:00. I mean, there is still 90 minutes left in the programme so still a long way to go.
They're apparently behind the schedule that the broadcasters were given. The CWC final took so long at half time and for the presentation that this farce is no surprise. Same FIFA team, same self-important time-wasting.
Watch US get South Africa in the third cycle. And Australia is not in Oceania anymore so they could also get New Zealand.
Iran v Belgium to be a cheap ticket? No Iranians allowed visas except for the team and support staff.
Was hilarious listening to a Scot on the radio squirming at several teams getting pulled out for the Brazil and Morocco group but getting shunted on. Tough on Scotland. They should look on it as a challenge.
Now I'd say France's group is the toughest (but its all very close). But will come down to pot 4 for determining group of death.
because of teams yet to be drawn. I'm thinking they should have drawn pot 4 before pot 3 to avoid looking silly or like they are rigging things.
Might have Canada v Italy in Toronto. Canada might have just lost home advantage, but Italy has a long way to go to qualify.
