stocky Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I'm pretty sure that the South American games, will have south American teams playing there ,and a diddy from the Carribbean or mibee Australia.. Guaranteed The group will not be England, Switzerland Qatar and Egypt or anything similar More like Brazil, Peru, Japan or another team from the Pacific Trinidad and Tobago The draw will be complicated but no doubt if there is a way for a European team to be based in South America, then that will be us, if we qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they will be in three different groups, although it might make sense to put Paraguay in Argentina or Uruguay's group to cut down the travelling.

Only 1 game from each group though. The tournament is being extended to 6 weeks in length. The opening 3 games in South America will be played on the first weekend in June. There will then be a gap until the following weekend when the rest of the tournament starts in Iberia/Morocco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 If we qualify for a world cup i couldn’t give a fuck if we were based on the moon, in Ukraine or the Gaza Strip I’d be delighted just to be at the World Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can do enough to achieve a top seeding we'd be guaranteed not to play in South America. Obviously that's unlikely, but I still estimate for the rest of the teams it's around an 11-1 chance that you'll have to travel there. Coupled to our odds of actually qualifying in the first place, then it's a fairly long shot that we'd be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
