Spain should become hotter favourites after that. Handy last 32 and last 16 games, they'll first play a group winner, Belgium or the USA in the last 8, and whoever comes out of the Germany/France/Holland section in the semi. That's not the most difficult route to a final.

Why couldn't FIFA just complete that draw in forty minutes? Have some light opening remarks, draw the teams out and some closing remarks to wrap things up. Instead, the draw is broken up by theatricals which should have no place at the draw. The draw should be a formal event rather than a concert with a highly questionable peace award on the side.

Seems the kids that schooled rio couldn't be arsed teaching anyone else. So it completely defeated the object of the explanation. Everyone is still lost at sea anyway. The lady hosting was good, the rest were blubbering wrecks.

I'd like to know his connections. He's hardly a figure of footballing renown worldwide.

who did Rio suck to get this gig? Weird.

Rio sniffing about ...

Whys he there?

Seriously how did Rio get this gig?

Up to his knackers in Saudi money. Along with the rest of the United team. Gary Neville, Beckham & Scholes.
Shameless the lot of them.

It’s just WWE now isn’t it.

The next FIFA peace prize will be going to Mohammed bin Salman 100%
Infantino really is that shameless.

I don't know what bit was most unbelievable:
Trump winning a peace prize.
The Village People.
Gretzky not being able to pronounce the name of any country correctly.
Rio Ferdinand explaining logistics.

 

[verreauxi]

….maybe it’s the connection with 1970, but the Azteca always sounds magical to me.

Saw my first professional match there when I was a kid. Massive place. Quite hostile to away teams.

 

[FCBarça]

Peace prize, you couldn’t make this up

 

[Swartzy]

Beckham getting a knighthood.
Trump getting peace prize.


The funny thing is they both had to Campaign and kiss ass for it.
