    World Cup Draw

    Live now on BBC Red Button (or the BBC Sport website) but ALL continents being drawn at the same time. CONCACAF just done and Oceanian about to be drawn.

    Part of me is conflicted because I loathe FIFA and everything they represent right now but of course, from a Scotland/USA perspective, I'm interested to see who we get.

    Whilst few people probably care, the CONCACAF draw came out like this:

    Group A

    Honduras
    Mexico
    Curacao/El Salvador
    Canada/Belize

    Group B

    Panama
    Costa Rica
    Grenada/Haiti
    Jamaica/Nicuragua

    Group C

    Trinidad & Tobago
    United States
    St Vincent & Grenadines/Aruba
    Antigua & Barbuda/Guatemala

    South America

    The South American draw feels hopelessly pointless - they're all in one big group anyway - all this dictates is when they play who?

    The big European countries have to go into the big groups because of commercial 'central licensing'

    Says it all for me.

    Good draw for us so far, only the top seeded team to come and i'm confident we can finish above the teams we've already been drawn with.

    What's the significance of the "/" characters? Do these teams have to play off just to make the groups?

    Usually England always get a piss easy group and Scotland get a shocker.

    In this instance I think both teams will be satisfied without being delighted. Not bad, not great.

    Scotland like to get knocked out early - it avoids the elevated hopes and crashing disappointment that happens every time to our neighbours
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    The positive to take from getting knocked out early is that it takes away the fear of being knocked out early
