It was hilarious how the whole arena was quiet all throughout the ceremony but burst into laughter when England got Croatia!

Oh well, I suppose it's a decent looking group. No real "group of death" either. Can't believe Denmark and Sweden in the same group again!

North America:

The Concacaf qualification process is a complete dog's dinner: The teams that come out of this lot will advance to three groups of four. The top two sides from each of those groups will then enter one final group, from which the top three teams qualify. The fourth team in the group will play off against the fifth place South American side. Does it really have to be like this? now don't ask me what this means...

1A: USA play Dominica or Barbados

1B: Guatemala play Turks and Caicos Islands or St Lucia

1C: Trinidad and Tobago play Bermuda or Caymen Islands

1D: Cuba play Aruba or Antigua and Barbuda

2A: Mexico play Belize or St Kitts and St Nevis

2B: Jamaica play Bahamas or British Virgin Islands

2C: Honduras play Dominican Republic or Puerto Rica

2D: The winner of Canada v St Vincent and the Grenadines gets a bye

3A: Costa Rica play US Virgin Islands or Grenada

3B: Guyana play Suriname or Montserrat

3C: Panama play El Salvador or Anguilla

3D: Haiti play Nicaragua or Netherlands Antilles.

Africa:

So this is what's going on here: 12 groups of four, from which winners and the best eight runners-up will advance to five final groups of four. The winners - plus any team second to South Africa (this goes towards the 2010 African Nations Cup as well) - will make it to the first World Cup to be held on African soil.

Group 1: Cameroon, Cape Verde Islands, Tanzania, Mauritius

Group 2: Guinea, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya

Group 3: Angola, Benin, Uganda, Niger

Group 4: Nigeria, South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone

Group 5: Ghana, Libya, Gabon, Lesotho

Group 6: Senegal, Algeria, Liberia, Gambia

Group 7: Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Botswana, Madagascar

Group 8: Morocco, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mauritania

Group 9: Tunisia, Burkina Faso, Brundi, Seychelles

Group 10: Mali, Congo, Sudan, Chad

Group 11: Togo, Zambia, Eritrea, Swaziland

Group 12: Egypt, Congo DR, Malawi, Djibouti

What happened to the Oceania qualifying. Seeing as they moved Australia into Asia, does that mean the rest of them don't really matter? I found this on Wikipedia, but struggling to make any sense of it.

No. It is the smae qualifying in Oceania without Australia. They all play in a group stage and the winner plays the 5th place team from Asia and then 1 goes on to the World Cup!

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
