This is the official thread for all Group B coverage. Group B contains co-hosts Canada, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Qatar and Switzerland.

Switzerland looks to be the best squad in the group, but Canada will have something to prove on home soil. Our maple flavored neighbors are still looking for their first ever World Cup win. It should come in the group stage against 2 of the weaker teams in the tournament. Bosnia is still having a 40 year old Edin Dzeko lead the line, but he did have 6 goals in 10 games in qualifying.


Group B Standings:
--------------------------------Pld---W---D---L---GD----Pts
Canada------------------------1---0---1---0___0----1
Bosnia & Herzegovina---1---0---1---0___0----1
Qatar---------------------------1---0---1---0___0----1
Switzerland------------------1---0---1---0___0----1

Oops wrong group my bad

Switzerland destroyed USA in a friendly one year ago... but in their WC send off friendly match last week, they drew 1-1 with Australia. In March, they drew 0-0 with Norway. In their last WC qualifying match in November, they drew 1-1 with Kosovo. I don't think the Swiss are entering the tournament in expected traditional Switzerland form. However, this group is quite weak. Expect the Jesse Marsches and the Swiss to handle it and advance easily and I would not expect one of the 8 (of 12) third place group finishers to advance to come out of this group.

Qatar is really bad. almost all losses or draws in every international match in the last year. loss to Palestine. draw to Syria. loss to zimbabwe. drubbing to Tunisia. drubbing to Russia. draw to bahrain. loss to lebanon.

And like an idiot...I scheduled a major presentation review for 2 pm.

Canada has never secured even a point at the World Cup. Even a draw would be historic

Jesse Marsch singing along with the Canandian national anthem. Dude is still bitter about being passed over for the USMNT job.

So apparently I read this morning that FIFA was not happy about the full commercial breaks during the water stoppages. I wonder if Fox will stop doing that

Fox probably already sold the slots, though. I guess we'll see in a few minutes

Alanis doing the national anthem. Not bad.

Why does the US opening ceremony/match suck in comparison to the other two?

A chance for early glory goes away for the Bosnians

Im actually sad I wagered on Canada bc id prefer to be supporting the Slavs over whatever Canada is nowadays

Yeah, it's a little weird. I had a little flash of disdain cross my mind when I thought about whether I should "root" for Canada. I'm not even sure why,
Actually, part of it is related to me annoyance about the national anthems and such. I guess Katy Perry is doing ours? And the only thing she's got going on right now is ****ing Justin Trudeau.

Marsh is so annoying lol. David should have buried that though

I can't believe they couldn't find anyone bigger than Katy Perry.

Huge dropoff from Shakira and her fine ass yesterday to Michael Buble......

Great set piece flick on header for Bosnia

Katy Perry is about as big as it gets this side of Taylor Swift.

And I personally always have time for Alanis but most of the world has not thought about her since about 1998

Shakira and World Cup is just unbeatable. Nothing quite compares.

Canada has to get 1 with all this pressure

The only things big about Katy Perry are the obvious things. And they're not what they once were, if we're being honest.
I'm not advocating for them, but I dunno, Chappell Roan or Sabrina Carpenter are at least more currently relevant?

F Canada button

Canada locks in Jesse Marsch thru 2030 world cup so that USA would have to pay a huge buyout to hire him next month after Poch leaves... wouldn't that be too bad if the fighting Jesse Marschs lose to Bosina and Switzerland, fail to advance thru the group stage, USA is no longer interested in Marsch, and Canada is stuck with him thru 2030?
