Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
After looking at group A...
Why not do the draw like NBA lottery ...let the machine spin the ball and roll them out.

Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
You have to realize there is money involved, thus the need to consider match-ups that will be more appealing to the
fans of the sport, and get fans of rich teams to spend more. Imagine if the machine spits out Germany, Brazil, Spain,
and Nigeria in Group A. What about a bracket that allows a semi-final of Panama and Iceland? Worse yet, replace hosts
Russia with Germany in the proposed group A above, which would likely translate to the hosts watching their guests perform after
the first round.
Bro., draws like the NBA lottery would ruin the competition and festival atmosphere intended for the world cup.

I’m questioning this Fifa organization and their draw process because there’s no way a team like Nigeria should be facing Argentina in the group stage 5 times in 24 years. I believe that politicians, betting syndicates are all involved in this Fifa draw.
Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
Joso if Fifa wants to break out of its comfort zone and wants a new team besides the usual “big boys” to win the World Cup then there shouldn’t be any seeding. Just place all 32 teams in one bracket and draw 4 of them each if there are marquee line up at group stage that’s absolutely okay. It’s time for a new team to experience the power of winning a World Cup

No, the Ranking still stands but the rest of the draw is what I am talking about...Nothing will change in the Pot 1-4 of the deserving to be in the individual pots.joao wrote:You have to realize there is money involved, thus the need to consider match-ups that will be more appealing to the

Hopefully, that would give the SE enough practice to finally beat a S. American team. At least its not Brazil.
Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
But I wonder the logic the Argentines had in playing a friendly with SE. Odds are there for all to see.
Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
Super eagles problem against Argentina has always been Messi. We seem to over respect Messi any time we face Argentina. Hopefully, we can play anti football this time

So Messi, played in 1994 and 2002 too?

Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
True, our problem against Argentina transcends Messi but in the last 2 times at wc it has been Messi vs Enyeama
Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
I stumbled onto the last WC again, wow...SE could have beaten them. anyway they could have beaten so many other times too
I think this team has a very good chance this time, if they can continue to control their exuberance.

Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
ANC stop lying we couldn’t had beaten them the last time. Infact, enyeama had to pull another MOM to keep that scoreline respectable. Go and rewatch the 10 minutes highlights on YouTube then respond
Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
I just did. The score was 2-3, no?
The last time I checked a goalkeeper is still part of a team.

... without Enyeama, we probably would have conceded 10 goals in 2010 match with Argentina. The game was basically between Enyeama and Messijohn12 wrote:ANC stop lying we couldn’t had beaten them the last time. Infact, enyeama had to pull another MOM to keep that scoreline respectable.

Without Messi, Argentina would probably have not scored a single goal.

Re: Do you like the way draw is being conducted?
Other teams need to win the World Cup squarely through hard work. France did on 98 and Spain did it in 2010, so no one has any excuses.john12 wrote:Joso if Fifa wants to break out of its comfort zone and wants a new team besides the usual “big boys” to win the World Cup then there shouldn’t be any seeding.

Why should FIFA assist anyone? Would that not be unfair to those who won it through sheer hard work?
Teams that can win the World Cup in our lifetime include:
Holland
Nigeria
Mexico
South Africa
Egypt
Japan
