England, the Netherlands, Argentina, and France will all find themselves on the same side of the draw should they progress from their groups, while the other half could see matchups between footballing powerhouses such as Spain, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, and Portugal.

Domestic seasons around the world will have concluded and then restarted by the time the World Cup rolls around in November but at that point, it's all eyes on Qatar for the tournament's first ever winter edition.Spare a thought for Costa Rica and New Zealand, set to battle it out on June 14 for a place in Qatar knowing victory will reward them with a group featuring two of the last three World Cup winners.

Group E promises a tantalizing fixture between four-time winners Germany -- whose most recent triumph came in 2014 -- and Spain, champion for the first time in their history four years prior in South Africa.

Germany will be out to correct a disastrous defense of their crown in 2018, having crashed out in spectacular fashion by finishing bottom of a group featuring Sweden, Mexico, and South Korea.

A regenerating Spain side, fronted by Barcelona's teenage sensation Pedri, will also be keen to reseal old wounds after suffering a round-of-16 exit to hosts Russia four years ago.There might not be a traditional 'group of death' from Friday's draw, but there is definitely the possibility for some huge local rivalries to be renewed in Qatar.

In group B, 2018 semifinalists England have been drawn alongside the US, Iran and the winner of the last playoff spot from Europe, which will be one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine.

Wales have already advanced to the final of the playoff branch, while Scotland and Ukraine's semifinal has been postponed to June because of Russia's invasion.

But if either Wales or Scotland advance to the World Cup in Qatar, it will be a huge game for either nations, playing against their big rivals England.

Wales last qualified for a World Cup way back in 1958 while Scotland's last appearance came in 1998
