My Pre-pre-prediction:

Group A: Uruguay & Egypt
Group B: Spain & Morocco (this group is very tough based of the histories of these countries)
Group C: France and anybody else - Peru
Group D: Croatia & Nigeria (going with my heart here)
Group E: Brazil & Serbia
Group F: Germany & (Yikes this one is very tough) MexTico
Group G: Belgium & England
Group H: Poland & Colombia (I would love any one of the only two black countries go through)

You need to reconsider group A. Putin stayed in Russia and put Trump in the Whitehouse. You don't think he can influence Russia winning group A?

Good point. If Paul Manafort can get paid $75m then refs and match officials can come significantly cheaper.

Unusual not seeing the USA in there somewhere..................

All I know is that I have saved a bunch of money--from not going to support the USA. Was skeptical [about attending]too. That racist country Russia.

I will be front seat though watching with a brew of some sort (and prap korn).
