I was wondering why Ronaldo was rumoured to be at the White House for the past few days on Twitter. Just him. Now I know. MBS had a dinner there. He is the face of the Saudi diplomatic outreach.
Curacao qualifies for the World Cup. This is what happens when you have 3 countries automatically qualify as World Cup hosts and you admit 48 countries into group play. An island with 150,000 people will need to send 1/3 of their population to pack a stadium.

I thought Arne Slot got the sack according to a tweet...but no, just fake news. He'll have to live with the reality of going from Premier League champions to being beaten by Nottingham 0-3 at home.

Is it customary to have a draw before the teams are even known?
But anyway - so many minnows...the group stage is like a warm up for the stronger sides.

Group B: Canada, (winner of playoff between Italy, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Bosnia and Herzegovina), Qatar, Switzerland
Group C: Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Scotland
Group D: USA, Paraguay, Australia, (winner of playoff between Turkey, Romania, Slovakia and Kosovo)
Group E: Germany, Curacao, Ivory Coast, Ecuador
Group F: Netherlands, Japan, (winner of playoff between Ukraine, Sweden, Poland and Albania), Tunisia
Group G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand
Group H: Spain, Cabo Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay
Group I: France, Senegal, (winner of playoff between Iraq, Bolivia and Suriname), Norway
Group J: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Jordan
Group K: Portugal, (winner of playoff between Congo DR, Jamaica, New Caledonia), Uzbekistan, Colombia

Not sure how MLS home fixtures can start in mid March here when there is still snow and negative double digit centigrade wind chills.
