    Russia vs Saudi Arabia, let's hope they do their bit for diversity and kit the players out in Rainbow laces.

    That's a cracking draw for England. Especially the fact if they qualify for the last 16 , they will play either Poland,Colombia,Japan or Senegal.

    D, F and H I think will be interesting.

    H isnt the strongest of Groups but the teams are closer than the rest and it'll be tight interesting games although probably boring as * with teams not wanting to get beat.

    Argentinas group is probably the best, Iceland and Croatia are two good consistent teams and Argentina are dodgy, they'll be big games when they all play each other and Nigeria are a tricky team as well with players like Moses, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Musa, Onyekuru and that who can be dangerous.

    Very happy to have gotten Argentina. They are the 2. weakest Pot 1 team. Iceland are sure to give them a game, and kill them on set pieces. Now, they could do the same to us- but I hope Dalić is better than Čačić when it comes to tactics. Niko Kovač, the current Eintracht manager, beat them in the playoffs for WC 2014. Nigeria are fast, strong, but chaotic. Will need to match them with a few tougher players- I definitely want Mandžukić vs. them.

    I read that on June 16th there's 4 games...

    11am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm.

    Not sure if there's 4 every day during the group stages though.

    Looks like mostly 15:00 and 18:00 GMT. With maybe some noon kick offs at the weekend.
