“Why Southgate’s men could face Brazil and Iceland”
The 32 qualified teams will be split into four pots based on their current Fifa world rankings. Pot 1 will contain Russia and the highest-ranked seven teams. Pot 2 will feature the next best eight teams, and so on for Pots 3 and 4. And as you can see Brazil is in pot 1, England in pot 2 and Iceland in pot 3 which means that they all can be placed in the same group together with a team from pot 4 of course.

“Why British managers have never had it so good”
I’m going to link the whole article here, but this is kinda interesting. You have probably noticed this as well, Everyone is always complaining about that there is no young new English manager and that everyone is just hiring the same people. Well, its true, David Moyes, Sam Allardyce, Alan Pardew, Roy Hodgson and Tony Pulis are all just circling around in Premier League with different clubs each year. Clubs are always complaining that there is no other, yet they are all still hiring the same managers with a few exceptions. I mean just take Everton and West Ham who recently hired new managers, why did they choose these men and not someone like Graham Potter?
Graham Potter, the manager of the Swedish team Östersunds FK. He started his mission with the team when they were in the 4th tier of the Swedish league system and now they have recently made it through the group stage of Europa League beating teams like Hertha Berlin, PAOK and Galatasaray. Why not look at a guy like this? instead of the usual boring managers who all play very primitive and boring football.
