Not aware of the 3rd one?

Charrua I guess?

Vitor Manuel Guerra Charrua, fair enough

[Greipel]

Sárai played shite in the World Series qualifier, I still hope Jagicza or Major replacing him somehow. One piece of Kovács won't be enough for us, no matter how well he will play.

This starts in 8 days. The group stage draw must be v. soon.

I'm sure Oche will do a mock draw

If not, I will

[Rogg]

The top 4 teams enter in the last 16.

Assuming it is seeded tight 1-16, and all 12 group seeds win their group, this will be the last 16:



1 england v switzerland 16
8 northern ireland v rep. ireland 9

4 scotland v czech republic 13
5 belgium v canada 12

2 netherlands v latvia 15
7 australia v austria 10

3 wales v spain 14
6 germany v poland 11

The article announcing the new format said so yes. Each group of 3 will have a seed.

Northern Ireland
Republic of Ireland
Austria
Poland
Canada
Czech Republic
Spain
Latvia
Switzerland

How many of the 12 won't win there group? Swiss and Latvia draw dependent. Spain maybe. Would think the rest will

[oche balboa]

LATVIA will not win their group

[TheMalteseDart]

Austria are pure muck at the moment

[TheMalteseDart]

Draw taking place tomorrow confirmed by the PDC

[The Thorn]

Looking forward to it

Where is the mock draw Oche?

[Greipel]

Everybody is praying to get Hungary there. Kovács will cause some surprises for them.

At least 6 worse teams than Hungary this time

[thegentle]

LATVIA will not win their group

Really is draw dependent, but they have a good player in Razma and a second player who isn't totally hopeless in Zhukov, that combination can beat a lot of countries

For the Czechs to win their group they'll have to do something they've never done before: win a game at the World Cup! They've had some stinky draws, but they've also lost to China in the past...

[Rogg]

Looking forward to it

Where is the mock draw Oche?

I'll be here to swallow it as usual.
