Now try 'notorious sex offenders'.

Such a pessimist. It's far more likely to be Australia 135-0 at lunch.

Due to budgetary restrictions, there will be no Crunchy Nut Cornflake cakes.

Uzbekistan vs Curacao is going to be the greatest World Cup tie of all time.

Not sure you can, as you can only have one team per confederation (apart from UEFA). But Canada, Austria, Uzbekistan and Cape Verde is still deliciously possible.

Nathan Lyon to take all ten wickets in reply to 650-4 after England choose to go in without a spinner.

Anything could happen. It could be Wood breaking down with Australia 300-2. It could be Archer breaking down with Australia 300-2. It could be Stokes breaking down with Australia 300-2. The possibilities are endless.

Yeah. There are two curveballs that could throw up stupidly hard/ easy groups - the hosts all being in Pot One and the UEFA play-off winners being in Pot Four. There's going to be some massive stat-padding for strikers in the easier groups, mind.

Actually, looking at it, because all the play-off winners are in Pot 4, there's there's an opportunity for something properly nasty. You could end up with Argentina, Croatia, Ivory Coast and Italy in the same group.

(Also: Canada, Iran, Scotland, Cape Verde).

There will be a group of death, otherwise known as "the group with the Netherlands in it".

I have an even less culturally relevant version of this joke involving JJ72 if you're in the market for such treats.
