Couldn’t they ask Gretzky to actually learn how to pronounce these countries?

It was looking like a dream draw until we got Italy.

I also hope they lose now. We could have gotten New Zealand or Cabo Verde and had a game where we would be heavily favoured to win.

I don't think there's a group of depth in the draw

Not really a group of death, and even the tougher looking groups are likely to get three teams through, especially when 3 points may be enough as it has been with the Euros back to third place teams qualifying.

New Zealand might get out of that group!

So when is Italy's playoff, I'd love for them to choke.

EDIT: March 26th

Let's not discount his massive ego getting in the way.

Well I think I might be booking some flights to Toronto for that opening game. Stay with family there and try to get tickets.

Italy vs Canada will be fun if Italy don't choke.

Honestly Canada can beat this Italy team.
