So Iceland is in and the United States is not. But then neither are the Netherlands, Chile or - to the greater shock of its citizens - Italy. And now Iceland and the 31 other countries competing in the 2018 World Cup in Russia know who their opponents will be.
The New York Times provided live analysis of the draw from the Kremlin Friday and the day before a team-by-team analysis.
So with no U.S. in the Cup this year, my favorite is of course Germany, which is also the favorite of many bookies - along with Brazil. Deutschland is in Group F with Mexico, Sweden and South Korea.
The first game is June 14, Russia vs. Saudi Arabia, 11 a.m. Eastern Time. Germany begins June 17 at 11 a.m. against Mexico. The final is Sunday, July 15 at 11 a.m. I hope to be back at the German Society of Pennsylvania watching the finals as we did last World Cup. Check out the schedule and other World Cup info at the FIFA World Cup site.
