    Nope. Argentina D is very poor in comparison to the D's of other top national football teams. Messi won't have Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Fabregas, but he will have to satisfy with Di Maria, Mascherano and Lamela.

      guys dont seem to understand the draw.

      pot 1 is the top 7 teams + the home team.

      the rest are organized based on region, they are not "screwing" the usa, they are in the pot with concacaf and asia teams because that makes an even 8 teams. hard to say they always screw them since 2010s group was weak as hell anyways.

      you have pot 2 which is south america and africa teams plus 1 uefa team since pot 4 has 9 uefa teams, likely this is where the corruptness will be in the draw if anywhere.

      the swiss being top seed must be the biggest joke ever, about time to redo the fifa rankings, no way that team is top 8 in the world.

            Garay, Otamendi, Zabaleta,

            Midfield they have Banega, Pastore who have similar qualities to Xavi > Banega, Pastore > Iniesta.

            Also Mascherano as anchor man and another factor in defence, Argentinas D isn't all doom and gloom

                I meant in comparison to other top national football teams, such as Spain, Germany and Brazil for example. Of course I'm taking these 3 teams all day over Argentina.

                  Germany's D is not all that great, Brasil is ok at best...Spain isn't either they are 3 nations with incredible attack...Argentina ain't far off, everything suits them for the world cup.

                  Put it this way if Messi wakes up its all over.

                    Hummels, Schmelzer, Howedes, Lahm, Boateng for Germany... Marcelo, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Dani Alves for Brazil...are you kidding me? I mean seriously, Argentina is overrated by your side.

                                Is World Cup really something people bet on? I honestly wanna enjoy it. Unless it's IRAN playing then maybe I'll wager on it.

                                    There is more betting on the World Cup than the Superbowl. Like 100X more in terms of volume. People use their life savings to bet on it. It's crazy man.

                                      I normally have a go with the futures betting.

                                          cant be in the same group with anyone in your pot except for POT 4 one team will shift to POT 2.

                                          also no more then 2 UEFA countries in each group.

                                          POT 2 3 4 are based on region of qualification, Pot 1 is based on top 8 fifa

                                            They will put balls(with a piece of paper that has the nation on it) into the pot and do the draw from there.

                                              It's deff a good opportunity for sharps to capture good lines since a lot of public will be betting on their team.

                                                I make the most on prop bets. Like corner kicks, yellow cards, offsides, scorers, etc. The lines are sharp on sides and totals.

                                                  It's interesting, how Switzerland got in the Pot 1. They have some solid players like Schar, Djemaili, Inler, Xhaka, Behrami and Shaqiri, but still.

                                                    Did Australia make it?

                                                    They will be out early! Bet against them.

                                                      +1. Japan has beaten or outplayed the likes of France (1-0), Netherlands (2-2) and Belgium (3-2) on road since last year. Also they were really unlucky not to beat Italy in the Confederations Cup.
