Yea they could be okayisch groups but i see a lot of meaningless game 3s.
New Zealand could win EUROs if the participated...
WC is a lot harder to win

ehhh not really. The Euro is consistently higher quality and more competitive every year for ages now. Not sure where thats coming from.

In the Euro it's harder to advance each round, but the WC is harder to win. It's one extra round (well not with the 24 teams, but w/e) and it's all the best teams in Europe + Brasil/Argentina etc.

I would agree with the EUROs statement being harder too. Shorter tournament yes, but the games are all "big" well they were in the 16 team version. Yes World Cup extra round but the RO16 knock out stage is normally a "gimme". Sometimes you get the England vs Germany like in 2010 but not very often. Group games normally relatively boring too unless again you get that random group of Italy Uruguay England and surprise package Costa Rica.
However, i would concede most countries would prefer to win the world cup for sure.

WC and Euro and really close. Handball has a different story. Euro is 10 times harder than WC and still WC has much more prestige. A lot players comfirmed/said so.

Pfff. Well at least we do well every world cup nowadays so I guess it's a semi finals or finals again in 2 years time.

True. Finishing in the first 4 is always better than in the quarters though. When was the last time England got further than that? 1966?

Do you think this is group of death? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
Guys... I know no one is watching Turkish Super League but there is absolutely no "group of death" that includes Turkey. We are playing the football we created. "Chaos football" And it always fails...

Holy....
It all started a couple of days ago when we heard rumours that some very 'VIP' guests were going to be at Goodison Park on Saturday to watch Everton take on Manchester United. Apparently these visitors were from 'Kansas', and were going to be there in person for takeover discussions. With the Annual General Meeting coming up soon, the timing was very interesting. We've been here before and nothing came out of it. Then one very curious Blues fan tweeted a certain Robb Heineman if he was visiting Everton on Saturday, who then proceeded to retweet that. ![[image loading]](https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/BO53kUn5GM3ZEISxgpY4SYVebI0=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4164228/RT1.0.PNG) Still no big deal, right? After all, the Everton USA fan group just had a great trip to Goodison not so long ago. It turns out though Mr. Heineman is one of the owners of Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City, and his consortium Sporting Club consists of five principals heavily involved in multiple sports team ventures.
