I'm rooting for Italy to make it because I think a Canada - Italy match at the 2026 World Cup would be fantastic regardless of the outcome (a draw would be nice, but could you imagine if Canada pulled off a win?)

Looks like I'm going to Canada vs Qatar & Egypt vs New Zealand: + whatever the round of 32 & 16 matches end up as.
Wish I got the Toronto tickets too for a potential Italy vs Canada; but can't be greedy.

If any Liverpool fans want Egypt tickets; I'll surcharge you $2000 per seat for your terrible club selection.

What if Salah doesn't make the team?

Totally fine with our draw! Even if we get Italy, that'll be super fun to watch.

Also, Spain vs. Cabo Verde is gonna be hilarious, if not apocalyptic. GO CABO VERDE

Not meaning to do a MegaErtz here but a Welsh fan pointed out on another message board that if Wales qualify, then Group B will have the three worst teams from the 2022 World Cup in it.

Group of Death has to be L right? Two top 10 teams in England and Croatia, plus a strong African side.

Panama are not slouches either. Ranked 30th.

I agree and can hear the English whinging already.

primarily they'll be sick and tired of playing Croatia for what feels like the 57th time.

England will walk that group. Not as easy as the US American group, but they are comfortably better than the rest of those teams.
