Which group do you think is the Group of Death?
The Herd with Colin Cowherd GROUP D IS GROUP OF DEATH
for a group of death there must be at least 3 good teams and i don't really think there is even one Gruop of Death...
The Herd with Colin Cowherd Group I.. Italy Netherlands Chile and USA
Cesar Argueta would've been a good group, man, when you think about it hahahah
The Herd with Colin Cowherd Group B , Portugal ( Euro champion ) , Spain ( World Champion ) and Iran ( Asia's Champion which is recently doing really good ) so my pick is B
Colin knows a lot more about soccer compared to most other American sportscasters.
another day, another divorce reference
Aaron Brust FOR NO REASON
Lmao
60% of his audience is divorced
Makes him relatable
I still love it
thanks for talking about soccer
*World Football*
Huh ? 1420 ?
FA - Football Association
UEFA - Union of European Football Associations
FIFA - Federation of International Football Associations
CONCACAF - Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football
Atlanta United FOOTBALL Club
Seattle Sounders FOOTBALL Club
You Americans are so confused. Is it soccer, or is it really football as 99% of the world recognises it? Yeah, thought so
hahaha you're right bro, so funny haha
It's funny listening to this as it's clear that Colin doesn't know anything about football. Thinking Sweden getting in to the WC is revolutionary, that's some bs. They missed the last two tournaments, but they've won three medals all time.
naardo He always goes on about to preparation and work ethic, he’s a hypocrite
naardo Sweden have been garbage for a long time.
Ojogbane Amedu They've been in the last five Euros. Maybe not succeeding well, but there's nothing revolutionary that they got into the tournament. If Colin would have been speaking about Iceland, with 330,000 inhabitants, first time in the WC as the smallest country ever, then it would have made sense.
Sweden has a relative rich football history even they missed the two last WC
Sure.. But this current team after Zlatan, beating italy. Not a revolution but they were underdogs
Finally a real sport
Colin need to stop talking about soccer...the group of death is group D' argentina,croatia,nigeria and iceland
Alert Eddie Exactly! Thanks! Germany is going to cruch Sweden and Korea and maybe even Mexico. No suspens there.
Alert Eddie I am German and i dont worry at all about this Group. The German team knows how to play Sweden and they know what to do.Argentinia wasnt very strong in their Qualifikationen especially without Messi. Croatia has a very talented Team and plays always with passion. Iceland players Play together for a long time (under 21...) and know their tactic. I dont know about Nigeria but i assume they will be good aswell.
Alert Eddie lmao group d? Not easy by any means but Argentina with the goat messi and the talent they have will beat every team in the group. On paper they're arguably the best team, they have until summer to get their chemistry right.
In 2014 Croatia didn't even advance in their group. Brazil and Mexico advanced. Sweden knocked out Italy out of the this World Cup. Colin is right. Group F is the toughest.
Alert Eddie that's not a group of death. Argentina will top it.
Soooo not gonna talk about Portugal and Spain?
They don't care. Talk about a rematch of the 2010 world cup and 2 titans of europe.
Well Portugal isn’t that good
Ikr
Javier SP portugal didn't go in the 2010 final and isn't a titan they are in the same level as Mexico, Colombia, Croatia they are not good or bad
same level of mexico? theyre champions of europe. clearly americans overvalue mexico. croatia and colombia are good, though
Colin, if you don't make the world cup, that means that your team is in a state of turmoil. It's not the same as in the NBA or NFL or MLB where if you keep tanking, you get better players. At the end of the day, the countries that are better at a certain sport are the ones that spend more resources and CARE MORE about the sport. Americans just don't care about soccer. Admit it, and that's a problem.
John An it's not a problem because we don't care
Group A is the group of death.... because we will all die laughing watching them play, LMFAO
The draw is extremely balanced I can't say there's one group of death
Alexi is to soccer what Bill Walton is to basketball.
Favorites: France, Brazil, Germany.
Dark horses: Mexico, Belgium, Portugal.
Perhaps, the most wide open WC we’ve had in a long time.

Group J is the group of death with Italy, Chile, Netherlands and USA ;(
No that's group L = Losers
I believe the group of death is C, France, Peru, Denmark and Australia... Is obvious that the clear favorite in this group is France; but I can see Peru and Denmark giving them a fight (these two teams never lost during 2017 matches), and Australia has experience in world cups and is the only team to move from their actual region to have a better challenge and they still are able to qualify, helping them develop as a team. For all these reason, that´s why I think this is the 'Group of Death'
Now Group H Alexis Lalas might be right, they all can beat everyone; however if Poland and Colombia go through on first round, you could see them beating everybody else, they have elite players on their rosters which makes them really good teams.
Hernan Navarrete no
No, no what?
What? Peru is bad, so is Australia. Denmark has only one very good player, that's it. France will easily win that group and any other team that comes out of it is trash anyway.
You are so clueless group C is not even close to being a group of death. Group B is the group of death with Spain and Portugal.
How is a group with only two good teams a group of death? Both teams will come out of it. Chile, Holland & Spain was a group of death in 2014. Or England, Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica. This time there isn't a real group of death.
I can't wait for the world cup to start. This is gonna be a hella good tournament.
we have bobby wood...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I love how when people criticize us americans about "how we dont know anything about soccer" or the fact that we say "soccer" when they do not even realize most people from thier own country who live in the US are considered "american". I myself am a first gen italian.
"We have...eeeeh... a young midfielder to replace Bradley"... He's called Weston McKennie,Colin.
Uruguay!!!
Alexi is great.
People seriously "UNDERSELLING" FRANCE. They were in the Euro Finals they should have won that. Mpbapee,Lemar,Dembele,Griezman,Pogba,Matial,Payet, They were young in 2014 and only lost to 1 by Germany. They beat Germany in 2016 Euros. They'll work teams with ease.
France has never done anything with ease when it comes to soccer. Nothing will change this World Cup: they will struggle in their group, but they should advance.
Group H is the toughest as those teams are the closest in talent
Jacob Garrity Senegal the favourites with Mane, Koulibaly and Keita Balde. 3 world class players
Future Hendrix thats pretty below for World Class, if they're world class, Falcao, James, and Cuadrado can easily be called world class they're the favorites then
+Fture Hendrix No. There really isn't a favorite in that group. Poland 8.0/10, Colombia 7.8/10, Senegal 7.6/10, Japan 6.8/10. It really IS the group of death.
+Future Hendrix you trippin either Colombia or Poland are the favorites
Jacob Garrity Weak Group! Just like Group A Colombia and Poland/japan are favorites.
Kristine trying that 🍫 though...
Jeszcze Polska nie Zginęła!!
Pulisic should of played for Croatia
He mentioned The Netherlands! Yeah!
Divorce, remarry worked it’s way in here lmao
Thank you Colin for giving soccer a minute of importance. I'm glad that your also learning about soccer you put up some pretty good comments hopefully you get more In to it. Enjoy the World Cup. Once again thank you.
Watching this in 2021:
Alexi: “I’ll take a group with England in it”
Me: Uh…you might wanna reconsider that.😒
NO NO NO. Our group (I'm German) should be a easy walkthrough. Sweden won't make it to the round of 16. They played horrible against Italy and only won, because Italy was even worse. There isn't a real group of death this time. Hardest group would be D. Argentina obviously is a favourite and Croatia is very underrated. Nigeria and Island are very though to beat.
You can tell this show is hosted by Americans, not even mentioning Group D. Everyone in Europe and South America is saying Group D
Silvio Dante Agree. Nigeria are always tough and Croatia has a different coach and the players are reaching a maturity age right for a World Cup. I will say this though, if this generation doesn’t make it far then it will be a while before we mention them again as a threat. Rakitic, Modric, Mandzukic will be past their prime by the next World Cup. Same thing with Iceland, they have a good team but Argentina can still win the group if they finally stop depending on Messi and Sampaoli can get them to play them like Chile. If he is able to do that then Argentina can easily make it to the final stages.
All i will say as a Swede is 4-0 to 4-4 in 30 minutes in Berlin. Don't get cocky since we already beaten France and Italy while keeping the Netherlands away.
Silvio Dante thank you! I completely agree with you. Sweden isn’t even good, zlatan kinda carried them. Argentina has the hardest group. Iceland showed up all of a sudden, they were able to contain a Ronaldo led portugual. Croatia always shows up for big events. And Nigeria is like that one kid who isn’t that good, but somehow makes lucky 3’s in a basketball game.
Oopsss
Is there any valid reason to not support mexico?..because there very watchable
Portugal vs Argentina World Cup Final would be lit. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's last World Cup in their primes so they gotta make the most of it.
Ronaldo is not in his prime.
I think their off prime a little but that be great but after lost in Brazil I frankly don't think Argentina will ever win a cup... Messi miss the PK did he even score? He is great when he has loaded teams in Europe but folds under international pressure I been rooting for them since 02 and seen them underwhelm consistently. Portugal is a one man show mostly but that Euro run I think they have a great shot being with Germany group is a blessing cause they won't face them elimination unless it's the Finals.
They should introduce a salary cap it's like watching the probowl team play Browns some games like vs top teams entertaining but it's ridiculous how talent rich some teams are.
Jajajajaja Portugal to the final?... Argentina maybe to semifinals but not the final.
Didn't Spain not even get past group last time? So why is it crazy Portugal wins the group plays an easy Round of 16.
The favorites are the same Brazil, Germany, Argentina but Portugal not crazy they win. I can see Germany beating a Portugal in Final or Semifinal. Germany I think is the strong favorite to win.
cr7 has no help in portugal he aint going to no world cup finals and messi continues to choke while playing for argentina, this will never happen, unfortunately
Finally a real sport!!!!
This one and the dave ramsey set design is the best set design I've seen on US tv.
The correct answer was Group F. Just as in WC 2002 Sweden won that group of death. Sweden is most often playing in that group because they are right in the middle between the very strong teams and the rest. So they are the balance that tips the group over from having 2 strong teams to 3 strong teams in the same group. England wish they were in that group every time.
I'm a big fan of lalas he is a true lover of soccer. But he so wrong about juan Carlos Osorio. He has never succeeded any where. His rotations don't work in international and even worse in Mexico soccer where they have maybe 2 good players maybe one and everyone else is ok. He also plays players out of position. I think this is a little recruitment so juan will go to the usa.
Christopher Sainz exactly. He has only won titles with Atlético Nacional in Colombia. He overthinks his tactics and thinks he is playing American football with his constant player rotations and playing players out of position. Mexicans can’t wait to ship him out fast enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t make it out of the group stage. A real shame because Mexico has a ton of talent especially up front. They are like the the North American version of Belgium.
Don't worry. Osorio just said he won't be renewing with Mexico anytime soon
the divorce anology got me
I'm still going with Uruguay to win it all. I like Suarez--he is as good as Messi, and he showed it in Rio the last WC.
Argentina, Iceland, Nigeria, Croatia..that is group of death...
lmao love Colin but how did he find a way to implement divorce into soccer 😭
US sports host bias with the mexico group as group of death lol. Argentina group and Spain/Portugal groups so much tougher
That Spain and Portugal group is a joke. Yes both teams are good, Spain in fact is very good, but Iran and Morocco? Two trash teams.
LOL so many trash teams made it this year. What did morocco do to even make it?
morocco is actually pretty good. theyre better than the us or sweden, for example
Ryan B I heard this today on ESPNFC, but Morocco didn't let in a goal during qualification while having attacking throughs such as Ivory Coast and Gabon in their group. So defensively they're solid. Benatia captains them and he starts a lot of games at CB for Juventus, and this young kid Ashraf whose been playing a lot for Real Madrid at RB since Carvajal has been out.
Ok impressive they got some Euro talent and didn't know Benatia is from Morocco but still they faced Ivory Coast and Gabon. I know Ivory Coast is ok and Gabon I think has Aymunenang but that is still not compared to the teams in Europe.
The only time the USA had a system worth try to adopt was un the 50's, in the community of Saint Louis. Read about it.
Germany
France
Group B, Morocco is really good now.
This is the best 'drawing' system I've seen.
Haha Colombia has it easy, so does Poland.. That group is not evenly matched. The most balanced group is D with Argentina, Nigeria, Iceland, and Croatia... You Americans do not understand football.
Daniel Lopez no you dont understand football. cus colombia wont make it out cus if you have followed every region you could see that colombia is trash. they even got dumped a month ago by south korea
Sure because to qualify in CONMEBOL is for really bad teams... oh wait it’s not CONCACAF
But I do--I grew up playing it as my first sport in Taiwan. I had no clue what a QB was even after I came back to the States to stay from overseas! But I was a good center forward or right inside forward in soccer. We still called it soccer in our boarding school in Taiwan--not Futboll!
I think it’s comical that there are three top contenders in the CONCACAF every year and the third never gets talked about. Not in US media or Mexican media. What is the grudge that y’all have against the third?
clicked away so fast when i heard group of death,Germany and mexico..
You guys have Pullisic, who will be world class, so you will be fine
the group of death is the one where you dont know who is going through, Mexico has a clear advantage on sweden and korea, which is why group of death is either a or c
Concacaf can't afford to have the US missing World Cups. I am a supporter of Mexico but not having our best rival there is bad for the rest of the teams in our region.
USA soccer team wants to play like Germany, but a German coach that can’t teach them. Players from 1992 still around in the conference they didn’t know what to do then. Why have them around now?
i love when people act like they know way more about football just because they aren’t american. Alexi lalas knows more about the game than anyone in these comments ever will and most of the world ever will yet he is treated like he doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about purely because of the country he is from. Yes, the main hosts of these shows usually are not well versed in football, but that is not their selling point. they r american sports analysts. the US has brilliant football minds just like any other country, maybe not as many as the likes of European and South American powerhouses who have a much bigger culture and devotion around football. but to label a whole country ignorant of the sport is ridiculous
I have to stop doing a shot every time Colin mentions divorce if I want to live to see 40.
Belgium is the dark horse in world cup
My guess is Colin ate a mole candy from that box. Mole is chocolate mixed with spices and nuts. Very delicious but some Americans find it very hot.
Btw for Americans the World Cup isn't the complete pure pinnacle of the sport, as the champions league is also a hugely important competition, its more comparable to basketball with the NBA but if the Olympics was really really competitive with the stars spread over different teams
No Costa Rica????? Cmon Colin!
Colin managed to sneak in divorce😬
How's group B not group of death?
Colin mentions divorce again lol
So does anyone know where i can get those chocolates?
Group of death H? As a German soccer fan, I find that group fairly manageable for our squad LOL. I think Brazil's group is harder.. and Poland's is the most evenly matched
Brazil has the easier group
You're dumb
Alexis saying J.C. Osorio is too for México, HA! I think he wants him to coach the US.
Alexi Lalas for coach!!!!
The US-system is the big problem. All over the world it's the poor man's game, like Basketball is in the US, while in the US it's a pay-to-play system.. you have to have parents with great income to become anything in american Football.
Germany will repeat it’s not even a debate.
I love alexi
France vs Germany
Spain vs Mexico
Collin strikes me as a guy who would be in a rich white People party where they have black people fight each other to the death and bet money on it
Finally
A divorce analogy
This was painful to watch
Im english and watch him talk about NBA like he knows everything... He knows absoloutely nothing here. AMERICANS PLEASE LEARN ABOUT THIS SPORT BEFORE TALKING ABOUT IT!
You never count out the Germans but you ALWAYS count out England.
I think group b for group of death
Lalas' isn't wrong.. Osorio is accepted by a few, but is there's a huge section of the media that is looking for ANY excuse to treat him badly.
Colin! Have Jimmy Conrad on your show!
Sweden being at the world cup described as "Revolutionary". Really?
There aren't any group of death in this world cup woulda been different if Italy Netherlands and Chile qualified
I close my eyes and I heard James Hetfield talking about soccer
This is first cup I'm tryna get into soccer. Im Colombian so I wanna kno are we considered good and do we have a chance in our group? Could you also rank the group teams, thanks.
www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/index.html
toby thanks bud
twisted tree No worries.
Lalas. Why didnt you run 4 president. I want to hear my national anthem in the wc bro. America dominates in all sports around the world. We need to make us soccer top ten in the world. We have what we need. All that needs to change is our mentality. We need to believe
Harry Kane about to score 5 goals a game and take us to the final
Donovan should coach in a few years
Is Mexico really playing well ? They seemed average to me, but I didn't watch them a lot.
This is a great show but the football talk is always hard to listen...It is so biased and naive. No the group of death is not Group F, beating Italy does not make Sweden a threat, Mexico & Korea are going to battle for the second spot as Germany walks the group with ease. If you have to pick a group of death it is Group D, Argentina is really struggling and all of the teams can cause them troubles. And the USA should not be happy if they were in Panama's place, they would still be clearly the third and almost fourth best team even if England & Belgium have not shown much in recent tournaments.
Jeeees. D stands for death. Groupd D is hands down the toughest group. Argentina. Nigeria. Iceland ans croatia. And btw thats the order its going to finish^ also Peru is the darkhorse.
mexico the best from concacaf might not even pass their group, this will be the most competitive WC ever
Kristine Leahy.. all my regards to you!!
Germany/Croatia, mark my word.
Group of life : Poule H
That's basically a coin flip every game.
That makes it the group of death
Neh teams aren't good enough, group of death is with Argentina.
Group of Death is: Group D
- Argentina struggle to qualify until last game again Ecuador, recently they lost to Nigeria 2 - 4 and this time they draw again on a same group D
- Croatia got so many great players whom played in Spain and England, they are very talent and always give big team a lot of problem
- Iceland qualified from a tough group and at EURO 2016 they beats England in the round of 16, they are strong and physical with a spirit of Viking so do not underestimate them
- Nigeria is the strongest team of Africa, they beats Argentina a few time from national team to youth team and Olympic team also, last month on friendly game they beats Argentina 4 - 2 so i think they might have a chance and give other three teams a lot of trouble, the weak link about Nigeria is they are inconsistant so they need to improve on that
Group F is not a group of Death? Why?
Germany beats Mexico at last year conference cup 4 -1 and went on to won it, World Cup history Germany beats Mexico three time before also, Germany beats Sweden 2 - 0 at World Cup 2006 in the round of 16, Euro 2016 qualify Germany beats Sweden again 5 -3, Sweden qualified after beats Italy only 1 goal in two games, Germany beats S - Korea 3 - 2 at World Cup 1994, then again World Cup 2002 in S - Korea 1 - 0 semifinal (Michael Ballack scored the only goal), Germany will be a winner of this group then second place will between Sweden and Mexico
mexico is playing well? using center backs as left and right backs is playing well ? lol
lol88787 well enough to make the World Cup
lol88787 well enough to beat germany(close game though)
Japan can beat Colombia? I’m done
It’s a shame that almost 30 years after the US’ highest finish in ‘94 that Alexi is relevant. Sure, he had a great career in the MLS but his best overseas venture was in a team that was in a relegation scrap in Italy. The three players that have clearly better CVs (Dempsey, Donovan, and Howard) as MLS and/or overseas players haven’t made themselves prominent enough in the organizational/developmental discussion even through they’re head and shoulders above anything Alexi has done at club level.
Belgium and England would have destroyed the USA, both of them are contenders to win the whole thing. England could play Butland at striker and still win. Belgium could play with 9 men and still win.
Hahahaha he said he wouldnt mind England but they lost against Trinidad Tobago
How people look past group D is beyond me. Those are four highly competitive nations fighting for two spots. Though Messi’s Argentina are favorites, they are not miles ahead of Croatia, Iceland and Nigeria. Group F, on the other hand, appears more predictable: Germany will win the group, Mexico and Sweden will fight for second, and South Korea will finish bottom.
I’d love to see South Korea advance, but if you’re a betting man you’d pick them to finish last. However, if Costa Rica proved anything last WC it’s that anything is possible (with the right tactics and work ethic).
