Hardest group would be
Italy
USA
Netherlands
Chile
Pablo Santy real group of death
haha I hope they do a loser trophy at the same time as the world cup that would be to funny
😂😂😂
Yeah with 3 strong teams and 1 weak team (USA 😂)
Pablo Santy
Is a matter of fact that would be beautiful group.
GROUP OF DEAD: italy, netherlands, chile and USA
Yeah.....death for USA and Chile.
leo ole group of the dead teams
AUmarcus you mean Netherland and Italy
Victor Lopez
Ummm.....no.
it's funny cause it's true
USA isn't even the best team in North America.
*America 1507*
*Mexico will be the there to represent North America*
*USA has plenty of time to prepare to World Cup 2022*
Or tne second or third best. Crikey, or go through a play off!!
Nah its probably costa rica
USA isn't the best in what exactly? You didn't say which sport. Does Germany have the world record of spitting crickets? No they don't. Do you know who does? The US does baby woo! The US has the world record of spitting crickets.
Did you even watch this video?! Or at least look at the title? Idiotic troll.
" England could never lose against Tunisia"
Led Targaouschi could never* but ye arrogance
Led Targaouschi just like they cant lose with iceland.
Oh wait.
Led Targaouschi Tunisia will be eviscerated by England. Easy group M8. We're topping this group. Clean sweep.
It's this pessimism that makes England always lose, England has a far more talented squad and while yes, anything can happen, England should easily win.
Led Targaouschi
Never underestimate your ennemy 😏
Nigeria vs Argentina... again. *sighs* haha.
3rd time in a row, 2018 will make it the 5th time overall.
Argentina and Nigeria, better love story than Twilight
*Africa vs America*
Mateo Sanabria yup. I remember we didn't qualify then.
Mateo Sanabria nice to meet you too. Thanks. It would be great to group past the last16
Argentina always gets fixed for an easy group and easy path for the final.
These people don't have any football (or soccer) knowledge mo salah is carrying both his country and club and uruguay has two deadly strikers in Cavani and Suarez and u should never underestimate teams for example Iceland
They're Mericans so they don't have a clue about football.
CarmonaHitEmUp Iceland could probably take 1 or 2 spot in group A no problem.
CarmonaHitEmUp but it's hard to find teams you could swap to group A to make it weaker whit the system they used.
Dayton Greene Even if they man mark Salah, they will still have trouble. If the Russian team focuses too much on stopping Salah, that will open up more opportunities for the Egyptian team to play everywhere else. The Russian defense doesn't look too good either. They seem slow and Salah and the Saudi Arabian team with their fast players could take advantage of that.
I'd say Uruguay is the 7th or 8th best team in the tournament, they finished 2nd in the South American qualification!
Egypt have Mo Salah arguably the best striker in the premier league right now
Exactly
Not a striker
Luis Rivera Ok
winger
That is a fact that is true
tunisia 9 england 1
Tunisia wil beat england
lol no
Josh C i hope so #rev98
wisam alziod I'd cry of laughter
Mohamed Selim i hope not
Most overrated team- England
Most underrated team- Croatia
JOJOJO J funny cuz noone is rating england i think your still stuck in 2014
matrixmdog i dont think thats even english
Mate, being English. We should get out the group. But no one will be surprised if we don’t. We know we’re the biggest bottlers in the tournament. With Kane, Alli, Sterling, Walker, Stones... etc we should at least get to the quarters. But I’m expecting we won’t.
um no..
most overrated - argentina by far
most underrated - Morocco/ south korea BY FAARRR
pokelol97 but yeah morrocco
Americans really don't know much about football
Say "U.S Americans", Americans include brazil argentina uruguay Mexico chile colombia etc etc, surely you aren't talking about those teams :b
Lies I’m American and I know football futball stop it
Dayton Greene yea exactly
Ivan G I know soccer
Leroy Litroy hey I’m American and I know football
Hard to get group of death when Italy and Holland are out.
If they were good enough they would qualify. They both lost to Sweden which is not really a world class team.
Chile 🇨🇱 as well
hahahaha
Marina Maric correct
Salsa Colombia they are done up .. next World Cup they superstars will elders and they might miss that one
Nice to see Kate Abdo again. I still remember the time when she worked for Sky Sports News in Germany. She always did a great job.
Tite is the best coach in Brazil for 10 years!
No one understands why Dunga and Felipão have led the team in recent years!
Tite was a champion in every club he ordered! Brazilian champion world champion 2018! ;)
Tunisia 2 _england 1
waqar khan a tunisian one 😜
*VAI BRASIL RUMO AO HEXA*
It's amazing how ignorant these people are about soccer outside of Europe and the Americas. They really think Tunisia and Egypt are walk-overs? lmao
Mina Sarofim I'm actually surprised they ignored Nigeria, they are the best African team in my opinion
Egypt knocked Nigeria out of the African cup qualifiers and got all the way to the final just this past summer. And not to mention their near perfect run in WCQ. They are far from a walk-over, especially in this group. People that say they are "easy" obviously have not watched them play recently. Just like they said about Costa Rica last WC and look how far they got
Mina Sarofim Egypt is definitely not easy but I'll say it again I think Nigeria is better, the Nigerian sqaud Egypt faced then is actually different, in world cup qaulifing Nigeria did not lose a game, in the group of death, which includes african champions Cameroon, number 1 ranked African country Algeria and 2012 champions zambia. They also beat Argentina 4:2 recently in a friendly while missing 4 key players and while Argentina didn't have Messi. anyway goodluck to Egypt though
Dark Genesis welp what you gonna say now? 🤷🏻♂️
Costa Rica's flag at 1:24 tho...
Very hard working team reflect its citizens
Anthony Mcken lmao
Group F is definitely the most interesting. Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea...very diverse group. Realistically Germany will Kroos through it but it's still an interesting group.
hexagon523 I'd argue group d is as diverse, if not more
Kroos through. Hahaha puns
The World Cup champions curse is real!!
Tunisia would beat USA .. we won't be easy against england.
Bbouy could=/= would
Bbouy I could win the lottery and start dating Kate Upton.. but I won't..
Ok then. Tunisia would beat USA. Don't underestimate Tunisia, especially playing against America who are trash
Tbf, England isn't that good of a team. I wouldnt be surprised if they F it up vs. Tunisia or Panama. I really don't believe in them.
Wheres the U.S. 😉
Too busy with handegg
leounn hahahahà.😂😂. They call football "soccer" and that handegg "football"
leounn funny that u wouldn’t say that to a “handegg” players face
uGetwhatu Give hahahaha
North for Mexico and south of Canada.
Zlatan doesn't play for the national team anymore man 😂😂😂
*Dayton Greene* Rumours among his Manchester United teammates (i think it was?) points to him *not* returning to the Swedish team
MasterlordSWE yeah he's saving for man United's late push this season . He's makeing that club money from now on.
Zlatan decides when Zlatan wants to play. Zlatan makes line-up for Zlatan-Team. Lions are not ruled by sheep.
TheSerpentLine Two bronze medals in 1950 and 1994 .
TheSerpentLine Germany-Sweden 4-0 to 4-4. That was a good game :(
Never underestimate group A teams especially EGYPT AND URUGUAY
a7med RIGHT
My pick for the 16:
Russia, Uruguay
Portugal Spain
France Denmark
Argentina Nigeria
Brazil Switzerland
Germany Mexico
Belgium England
Poland Senegal
Jr
Serbia have a shot of getting out of their group. Idemoooooooooooo
The British girl is polite, I would have thrown the US not qualifying in the easiest confederation back at Lalas.
Juan S exactly Alexi really isn't that good of a analyst plus he's a bit of a mug sometimes
What do americans know about footie? They know germany, england brazil etc and in their eyes other countries dont know how to play football.
Here is a fact about Argentina and Nigeria. Nigeria was qualified for the world cup in the year 1994, 1998, 2002, 2010, 2014, and 2018, They and Argentina are in the same group in the year 1994, 2002, 2010, 2014, and 2018. 5 out of 6 times they are in the same group. Coincidence?
Eddie Tong except for 1998, they were with Spain, Bulgaria and Paraguay in the group
Argentina and Nigeria are such a nice love story lol
They love each other
How Russia got a easy group? Is that a bloody joke? Egypt have salah who is carrying his country/club Uruguay have arguably the best stricken Cavani and suwaraz
Ibrahim Selassie it's not an easy group. None of the groups are easy in a world cup but it's certainly the easiest group among others...aslo Salah is only one player!
Group A is the group of life
People who say Russia have been gifted a easy draw are clueless when it comes to football. Egypt and Uruguay would be a walk in the park for them. SMH
How do you dominate a game where the opponent had 65% possession and you get only 35 %? Also what happened to them at the confederations cup? and b4 that they haven't had a good run in friendlies they played.
The Russian football team has not been good since 2008. Egypt and Uruguay are two very well organized teams if you ever watched them in their qualifiers. I'll say it again, people who think Russia got an easy group are clueless.
Oberyn Martell RUSSIA IS THE LAST ON THIER GROUP, Russia's rank 65 Saudis 63 Egypt 31 Uruguay 21
Dayton Greene
How weak defense ? Egypt Now play with a New tactics with a coach has defensive strategies and depend on counter attacks
Zlatan: It's their problem.
Russia its FIFA-rating is partly because of the fact they are the host they did not have a games that mattered and friendlies do not give a lot of points in comparison to qualification games.
Russia is still a bad team.
Up the mighty Aussies,playing the snobs of the World lol.
No one in England is expecting much. No English fans around the world feel extremely confident. So I don't know what 'expectations' Alexi is talking about. It's embarrassing how little these ex-pros know. Russia does not have an easy group - and they will struggle to qualify for the second round. None of these pundits predict upsets at all.
Kop Prophet it's coming home whether yoy expect it or not
Let's go Serbia!
Luka TheKostic 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 SERBIA
Serbia actually have a really good squad i think they can finish pretty high
Nemanja Mocevic check my video about Serbia
Manny yes I did a video on that
Already seen your video about Serbia and commented on it aswell 😁
Who tf cares about England
A lot of people deal with it
I care.
They're England, every football fan watches/takes an interest in the Premier League in some way (where all English players play). There's drama and interest in every tournament around them. However yes, it is odd for an American program to talk about them straight away
England is my city
Kac the Polish Baron the world cares
Russia in easy group? what about m. salah
Deutschland
The best.
Liebe
2-0 South Korea
Egypt is no joke
roger (hits the like button hard)
Come again?
Landon donovan saying Switzerland is a really good team man they needed a last minute goal line clearance against Northern Ireland in order to qualify????
Dayton Greene dont get me wrong ni is decent nothing above that though. Their effort is very commendable. Switzerland has a good group of players. Lichtdteiner Xhaka Shaqiri Rodrigues, etc bur then you wonder why they couldn’t brush them aside????
The fact they completely overlooked Argentina's group show's they know nothing about International football. Everyone else is saying that is the toughest group
Russians hacked the draw.
Sparring group
Holy League 1683 it was luck
Its not a easy one.......Uruguay wins. And second i would say egypt. Fear Mohamed Salah!:)
Holy League 1683 No?
Uruguay will destroy them
And also egypt is really hard!
Theyre still gonna lose
If you go by Fifa rankings, and you sum the rankings of each group this is the result:
By Fifa:
Hardest ->
1. Group E
2. Group C
3. Group G
4.Group B
5. Group D
6. Group F
7. Group H
8. Group A
-> Easiest
Mexico has big things coming they are gonna go far
Pedro Lopez and they lost in the round of 16 again
They all underestimate Serbia too much, I like it! Keep doing that.
watch out for Portugal...defending European champions who have experience and confidence going into this tournament, after wining the Euros...and they also have the best player on the planet who will be motivated to win
This world vup is essentially a Chance for the underdogs to shine.
Gonna be really interesting with so much ambiguity
Can't wait for the Quatar World Cup 😁
am from Saudi Arabia and I love Russia ❤💙💚
FM Music I think Group is a very interesting group and any of the four teams can progress.
Clearly fox doesnt have much soccer knowledge... Russia are Not
gifted a good group Egypt and Uruguay will be a hand full
landon says at the end " serbia are the best ..... team , hands down." whatd he say? pop 4?
Imagine the melts if Australia won a wc,lol.The Whole World would disappear under tears.
imagine if ppl keep underestimating u... as far as I'm concerned they have worked hard to get there. U don't see Italy or the USA there do u..?? If they win then they are good enough.
Group of death is group C, France ranked 9, Peru ranked 11 and Denmark ranked 12
Why are they making it seem like Uruguay and Egypt are not good teams? Uruguay have alwalys been considered as one of the best teams certainly offensively and Egypt have got Mohammed Salah.
Alexis Lalas could have played for Greece if he had wanted.
This guy really said the group of death was group H…. Americans clearly show how they don’t know anything about the sport 😂
Why are they mad that Russia got an easy group it's the luck of the draw
Crazyi1993 fixed. Russia would get destroyed in any other group
Cash 現金Cartiの雌犬 This is FIFA after all, money talks
Russia got an easy group? Egypt and Uruguay would like to have a talk
yeah... random balls moved around, very rigged.
maybe england also paid fifa a few million for a gentle group.
They keep saying you have to start out strong, win the first game, but Spain lost their first game when they won the world cup
Group H a group of death? Poland and Colombia are obviously coming out of that one, everything else is a major shocker.
Russia should beat Saudi Arabia. Beating Egypt is possibly, but it will be a challenge, and I don't see any way how they can *possibly* beat Uruguay.
Call me crazy.. but I think Costa Rica will shock us again and finish top of their group..
I'm just a sexy Kurt you're crazy
It is always the possiblity that ENGLAND lose to anyone😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁
Sangeet Markande yup and no one likes us and we don't care.
Mexico has it the hardest just think about it they have to face the champion and if they manage to pass to the next round Brazil sheesh that’s a death sentence already 🤣but I am supporting my team regardless 🇲🇽
Erick Quinones and you guys threw away a golden chance to be in the quarterfinals by getting spanked by Sweden
Hard group
England
Germany
Belgium
Brazil
I actually hate this word but why is Alexi trying emphasis on trying to mansplain to Kate, England arguably have a chance, we have the best striker in the world, new faces in the team, our u20 and u17 both won their world cups, so that shows progress from the ground level and its actually exciting to see the next few years and see how players will be integrated into the team, I'm not saying we'll win this year but we have a better chance in the next few ones
It's coming home Alexi
This video and comments those people make (apart from an actual player who knows a thing or two about the game) just proves that even American soccer "annalists" still don't know enough about "soccer" teams and how unpredictable world cup can be
"The ball is round"
Let the English person speak, she actually knows something about the game. #me too.
france will at least reach the final imo. they are so good and their group is on the easy side.
These fox guys are worse than espn
Humphree Lee nah lol bro I want to have what your smoking cuz it is very strong these guys are the LEAST QUALIFIED to be talking about these matters. Some of the things they say just makes you want to spit out your coffee.
Humphree Lee yeah i meant espnfc
I think craig burley on espn fc makes a lot of sense actually
Dark Genesis yeh hes the best guy there along with ale moreno nothing but the blunt truth
I think Craig Burley is far too cynical.
Group E will be interesting...Brazil 1st ofc...But Serbia,Costa Rica and Switzerland are kinda equal...will be tough battle for 2nd place....Let's go Serbia! Matic,Mitrovic(ON FIRE,lol) & Sergej Milinkovic-Savic! :D
There’s only 18 games that are must watch for me in the group stage. There’s too many countries in this cup (no disrespect) that can be replaced by others who didn’t make it that would make it more interesting.
eder catalan The other countries that didnt make it dont deserve to be there its that simple.
I really got the feeling that this world cup is gonna be very boring
How is group A a mystery? Cavani and Salah will get through
PseudoproAK LOL
Best biased commentators chosen to comment on World Cup games
Team USA Women's Soccer > Men's Soccer
Team USA Women's team lost to the Under 16 US boys team earlier in the year.... (5-2)
US U-16 boys team destroyed US women's national team, just letting you know
Nobody cafés women football, only americans pusys
Moroccan team has the best defense in this competition they receive 0 goals during the qualifications it's a disturbing to other teams
and probably the most underrated midfield, Ziyech and El Ahmadi, without a doubt the best midfielders in the Eredivisie.
yes correct
SERBIA 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
3:37 "There's no clear favorite in Group A". (Group A = Uruguay, Russia, Egypt & S.Arabia)
Landon Donovan showing that being an ex player doesn't make you a knowledgeable TV pundit.
Oi! I've drawn up a few ways that Fox's coverage of Russia 2018 can be improved.
1. Have a secondary focus on England instead of Mexico, because if you do, your coverage may be watched by President Trump as our president hates Mexico.
2. Have the lead play-by-play announcer be a British football commentator instead of an American commentator, like ESPN did.
3. When you are showing all England matches at Russia 2018, please have the UK TV coverage of the game with commentators Guy Mowbray of the BBC and Clive Tyldesley of ITV over your graphics for the World Cup and use that feed as a SAP alternative to your commentators, whose team would probably be led by the legendary JP Dellacamera and John Strong.
4. And finally, this isn't a way in a way, but if your coverage of the World Cup is good, then I would like to see Kate Abdo, one of the pundits on your coverage, tackle presenting Fox's coverage of sports like the NFL and baseball. Otherwise, Abdo can see herself back at Sky in Britain, where she belongs and I could see her on the telly again. PS: I would also like to see Abdo's fellow newsreader at Sky Sports, Natalie Sawyer, join ESPN to see how they both get on on rival networks. PPS: I would also like to see ESPN counter-program your coverage with lesser-known sports like horse diving and/or screen the film "Mike Bassett: England Manager" among other soccer films.
5. And if all else fails, then don't broadcast Russia 2018 at all like NBC did when Team USA boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics.
What annoys me about this video, is the everyone except Landon seems to be oblivious to why the world cup is so fun too watch. Its not the NFL where the stats determine the outcome, its football and in the world cup anything can happen and that's why even though a team maybe better on paper it does not guarantee a win. Every time England has been eliminated in the past, I support the underdogs.
they didn't talk about group B, about morocco...okay dislike!
When you realize that one chick you had a one night stand with came out in this video. O_O
Josue Yanez who that british lady really
wow, totally legit
You’re dumb
i rather watch ESPN FC and being sport channels where the majority of analysts are specialized to offer insight knowledge about the depth, aesthetically intriguing factors and ultimately technical vision of the teams based on their experiences and world cup history in regard of latest performance and rankings that give people more in-depth information and reality check about the games and they are mostly international and British experts, rather than here
We're going out in the round of 16
mexicanblondplayer sadly might even get passed through the group
Brazil 1 Mexico 0
losing to brazil is nothing to be ashamed of as long as they give it their all
I'd say Mexico has a 50/50 chance of beating Sweden for 2nd place. No matter who of us who qualifies 2nd in Group F we are dead anyways. F*ck Brazil
mexicanblondplayer you got that right Mexico 😂😂😂
I miss Kate Abdo on sky sports
Why does donavan look like she just crawled out of an alley ?
I like the NBA desk setup better. Its okay to imitate somewhat, but do your own thing USA.
The fact that they keep referencing the FIFA rankings shows huw little they know about football :p but i'm glad they are atleast getting interested in the sport.
England is similar to Mexico, they have a very good squad but fall flat on their face when the lights are brightest
Jorge Chamorro mexico ever made a world cup final???? 😂😂😂
Cmon stop crying over about italy and holland
They didnt qualify because they didnt deserve it, thats it.
Other teams also didnt deserve it but i dont se anyone crying about it, just get over it, its their own fault they played badly.
from the word " soccer " to the " this team sucks " you clearly don t have a clue what world cup is.
It is where entire planet stops for 1 month and watches 32 BEST, yes BEST teams on the planet. If you qualified you earned it! No " what ifs " , no Usa and Italy should have ...NO!
These 32 teams earned this, and their nations with entire planet will be living for soccer in June.
Putting teams like Panama and Saudi Arabia down, gets you eliminated PERIOD!
now this is a respectable comment.
An easy group for Russia. I think Group A will be interesting for all teams.
If those are the so called experts of American football, no wonder their national team didn’t make it to the World Cup!
Why do people hate on the U.S. so much, it's getting old now
I bet England will be failed 1/4 England -Germany 0:2
Alen Abayti semis 😂😂😂
Wonder how Russia got such a easy draw??? Hmmmm??? 🤔🤔🤔
Robert Jacques its not that easy for them, Russia is the last on their group, Russia's rank is 65,Saudi Arabia 63 , Egypt 31 , Uruguay 21
Robert Jacques
Except they didn't.
Next thing you know mexico wins the world cup😂 make the inpossible possible
Sesar Islas Mexico will win the 2022 world cup in Qatar. Its a hot climate and the altitude suits Mexico the best it will be like playing at home
Sesar Islas I would have supported you but Mexico lacks the finishing mentality in their squad. They do no longer have a deadly striker. To win the world cup, you need to be clinical in front of goal
Where is China, under President Xi, missing worldcup twice with a population of footballers smaller than Uruguayo.
What if... doesn’t exist!
How come they focus on England so much?
cuz wee da bes
because thers an English girl on the pannel and its a group which USA would of been in if they qualified over Panama
dshafesz semi finals bro
Kate ubdo was really awkward there😂😂
wenger is the greatest manager ever cause Alexi wasn't giving her enough time to say her piece
