The FIFA Men's World Cup group stage draws have been completed. The US Men's team got Group B with England. Iran and one of either Ukraine, Scotland or Wales. It's a competitive group but not a group of death. Canada is in Group F with Croatia, Belgium and Morocco. While Belgium and Croatia are the two favourites, they are also the two oldest teams in the tournament and could be ripe for an upset. The Canadians are a decent dark horse and could make some noise in this tournament. Other teams to watch are Senegal, my favourite African team, Switzerland, South Korea and Serbia. The usual suspects are the favourites in no particular order, Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Netherlands and Portugal. Unlike most World Cup Tournaments, this one will be played in late November through December to avoid the Middle Eastern heat of Qatar during the summer months.

I can never root for my own country on the men's side, I always opt for ancestral roots (Scotland or Korea usually...did either of them make it?). Women's side I'm stars-and-stripes all the way.

Anyway, be sure to make fun of your Italian friends who like soccer.
