Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
That's naff. Necessary unfortunately but naff.
At the expense of having to travel around a bit more we should really look to implement re-drawing from a pot after the groups to prevent the scenario we've got in front of us. Neither England or Belgium have much of an incentive to finish top when finishing second provides an easier route on paper. I'm hoping of course we play to signal our intent but this isn't an issue that just affects us. It's happened over a few tournaments now.
