although we can't be many years removed from a 64 team world cup where there are multiple group stages and only one team is eliminated per stage and the whole tourney takes place over the course of 2 months.

essentially happens is that Scotland play Israel over and over again for the right to play Israel. That right is determined by a combination of things such as "have you played Israel in the past ten minutes?"― Clean-up on ILX (onimo), Thursday, 19 November 2020 12:33 (two weeks ago) bookmarkflaglink

Not bad group though. Apart from the Faroe Islands.

a tournament fans won't be able to attend: scotland qualify
a tournament in hellish heat at christmas time (with probably only a %age of fans able to attend): scotland 100% qualifying

I was looking at the draw and it seems like the winner of the England Scotland Group D will almost definitely have to play France, Portugal or Germany in the 2nd round, but the runner up plays the runner up from Group E, which is probably just like Sweden or some other not-Spain team. England would be mad to try and get a win against Croatia
Working/training online til 11 that day and will have to perfect my definitely concentrating face

I'm irrationally unexcited about this. Just can't work up any interest at all.

And England never win their opening match whereas Croatia tend to. For some reason I'd like to see England play Ronaldo again 15(!) years later even though Portugal look stronger now than five years ago but it's unusual for defending champions to do well next time so why should they be any different.
