The 2018 World Cup Draw took place just now at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow. The 32 teams that will compete next summer were drawn into 8 groups of 4.
Here are the 2018 World Cup groups, slotted from 1-4 (October 2017 FIFA World Ranking):
Here are some initial thoughts on the groups:
Group A is the Group of Life. Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Uruguay were the weakest or among the weakest teams in each pot. This is a favorable draw for the hosts, who are determined to get out of the group and avoid joining South Africa as the only hosts to not get out of the group stage at the World Cup.
