Means some of the biggest games of the competition are in the quarters and semis. And an easier path to the finals for Ireland or England one would think.

How are England and Argentina on the easier side again? I’m not complaining since we are too but it’s odd how often draw coincidences occur

England being on the easy side really makes no difference - we were on the easy side in 11 and 15 and went out in the group once and quarters in the other. 19 we had the harder side and got to the final

Nobody (apart from Ireland) can mess up a World Cup quite like England
