“The best 32 teams in the world will be here next summer,” says Infantino. Not according to your own rankings, chum.

Vladimir Putin has already spoken, particularly about the way that “friendship and fair play are eternal values”. There was no audible laughter.

South Korea and Peru easily go through...

 

[El Floppo]

This is horrific.  

Time for the Igor Moiseyev Ballet group to do a fun dance. Some traditional Cossack movement and jaunty brass music truly is the perfect appetizer for the draw.

I think the ESPN tweeter is being... farcerious?

 

[Sinn Fein]

Do they have an official song/video yet?

If not I'll nominate this one again

 

[Sinn Fein]

The WC draw has always been on of my favorite days but without the USA its

Still interested and still keeping an eye on it while at work but just feel like the kid watching thru the dirty window rather than being on the inside. 

 

[CletiusMaximus]
