Vice also had a great documentary on Brazil. I was surprised to see how lawless Brazil was, and many of those cities are just ran by drug gangs. It's gonna be a very interesting WC, wish it wouldn't last just 1 month though.
Would be great to see every team play each other twice in the group divisions.

I predicted the Spain-Netherlands final 4 years ago with Spain winning, so I may give this another run soon.

As if predicting a Spanish win was so hard.

Pot A is based on rankings - Rankings are based on performances over last 4 years. More weightage is given to last 12 months, then 12-24 and so on.
Pot B, C, D are loosely based on geographic location.
So, Europe will be one pot, Australia-Asia-North America will be one pot - S.America and Africa will be one pot. It changes IIRC - depends on how teams from a certain area get qualified.
Then they do the draw. Pick 1 team from each pot for each group.
lol stop trolling. It's based on performances over 4 years, not couple games. What don't you get about that?
We had a shot at getting into an easy group, but we just happened to get the s**t end of the draw. Seems to happen to us often, but whatcha gonna do.

Don't blame the refs. Well, if it's not "The Hand Of God", don't blame the refs. lol
