[Farm93]

We will be playing Iran in the group stage of the World Cup, as well as jolly old England.
For the final spot in our group, there will be two playoff games.  Scotland will play Ukraine, and the winner will play Wales.
So our group looks as follows:

England
Iran
United States
Wales or Scotland or Ukraine

the world will be watching.

Avoiding a group with Belgium/Brazil/Argentina or France was helpful.  
Another nice thing about Group B is that they get more rest days than those that start later like Group G or Group H.
