Platini says the draw was made in such a way that France and Brazil would not be able to meet until the final.

    Russia have a pretty favorable draw this year too. Surely not...

    I think that is down to the fact that as hosts they automatically get a top seed place, so there is no other top seed in their group. But they do have a tough second seed side in Uruguay and a tough third seed tie in Egypt.

    If, by some miracle, they do qualify they will probably meet either Portugal or Spain in the next round.

    I wouldn't say it's a favourable draw.

    So not the World Cup, just the draw?

    S.Korea's games against Italy and Spain in 2002 were dodgy as hell though.

    I think one of the referees (a Colombian?) got found out in a domestic game a few years later.

    Can you imagine a flukey FA Cup final between Accrington and Shrewsbury?
    No, nor can the FA.
    Qtr final draws usually go against the smaller teams.

    The home nation always gets a good draw. It can't be coincidence.

    Not surprised, Platini is a crooked as they come.

    I’ll say - the bloke is a joker.

    Doesn't surprise me. Thinking of swerving the World Cup.

    I'll never forget the absolute fucking disgrace of the Spain game against South Korea. Compounded by the Italian game a few days earlier. The World Cup is a joke anyway and has been pretty much forever.

    And now we will have the wonder of VAR to make it even easier for some faceless FIFA lacky to organise a fix.

    (Joking BTW... before you start the CL self righteous navel gazing bus!)

    There will still be some thing in a Russia game which'll be ignored for VAR so that Russia get as far as possible

    I don't think there can be much doubt VAR is going to be a monumental cock up in this world cup for any number of teams - can't imagine Russia will be the only team to benefit.
