Groupings for the 2018 Amputee World Cup were live-streamed today on Facebook.  The top team in each group plus the next two highest finishing teams will advance to the round of 8.  The USA draw has it grouped with Turkey which placed third at the 2014 World Cup.  The good news is that Nicolai does not get along with Turkey’s star player (photo below from their 2014 World Cup encounter) and I am sure this will only serve to motivate him as he trains for the tournament which will take place late October and early November in Guadalajara, Mexico.
