    I didn’t get the theory. The world cup groups are defined in a televised draw. Are you saying that the draw is fixed?

      The draw is fixed. There have been multiple instances of this, most notably France 98, where, as Platini declared years after, they deliberately put France in group C and Brazil in group A, so they wouldn’t meet until the finals.

      Yeah the organization that gave trump a FIFA peace prize to bribe him after he was snubbed by the Nobel Prize debacle would play fair… I don’t care whether they really do it or not (they probably do though) I just think memeing on them is funny
