Make your own mind up on this one.
The three host nations automatically enter pot one, and it goes without saying, they are the three weakest – given the other nine are the best in the business. We’re due a kind draw too, surely?
So, naturally, Scotland would like to draw one of the USA, Canada and Mexico. Let’s just hope it goes better than the last time we faced a host nation at a major tournament… Ah, Munich.
A wee look at pot two, though, and there are some decent outfits in there.
Scotland can only play one other European nation in the groups, so there is a fair chance Morocco, Colombia, Uruguay, Japan, Senegal, Iran, South Korea, Ecuador and Australia could lie in wait.
It might be best to swerve the European trio in that pot: Croatia, Switzerland and Austria.
A hefty portion of pot four is still TBC. Imagine having to go through the play-offs? Wouldn’t be us…
