Yeah that doesn't sound bad although I don't know a whole lot about Slovenia. Are they the ones that beat the Russians to get in?
Group of death!!!
Brazil
North Korea
Ivory Coast
Portugal
Ronaldo,Kaka.Drogba nice group!!!
Yes they did, I think they are a decent side but it could of been alot worst I reckon it is between you and them for second spot.Quote:

I guess that would be the "Group of Death?"
Really Slovenia and Algeria should be happy too, were not an easy win for them by any means but nobody's really scared of playing us, there's no reason for them to not think they could get points off each other and England doesn't scare people like Brazil or Spain do.
Slovenia in truth are not that good they were beaton by Northen Ireeland in the group stages, both them and Algeria are nations that had to get in via a play off, England will piss this group.Quote:

Great draw for the United States....couldn't have asked for anything better....maybe Greece instead of Slovenia but still a very acceptable draw considering our last group Italy, Ghana, & Czech Republic...that was rough.
I think Group G is the Group of Death but Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, & Camroon is a solid group as well.
Without surprise, Canada isn't participating to the ballroom. Hopefully, within a couple of years, we'll have somewhat a competitive team and might see them once again in action on the international scene.
The US need to have some friendlies really quick and try and find ourselves another striker and a solid CB to use, unless Bocanegra and DeMerit will handle it. Whatever we do we need to build up our team chemistry a bit, but nevertheless, I am super excited about this year, we've already played solid ball in South America and despite the loss of Davies and perhaps Onyewu I think we should have a good run....we better
Well Canadas played well the times I've seen them...Quote:

France & S. Africa my whole family is fucken mad...
Can't complain about Argentinas group...
We're a defo shoe in for the next round. :cool:
Was worried yesterday but after todays draw I think we can pull it off.
We asked for it now we got it...
USA vs. England ohhhh it's gonna be a thrilla...
Can't wait. Mark your calendars June 12.
Ze Fucken Germans have an easy group along with Italy.
fuck!!!!
I hate Italy, my best mate roots for the Italian side.
Ohhhhhh! I just jizzed my pants...
Kaka vs. CR9 vs. Dider vs. Yon-Jo
Spain has mehh group.
Actually easy group possibly the easiest of them all.
I was looking at some live coverage on a soccer blog that was going on and on about how lucky Mexico was to be in S. Africa's group but I knew they would even it out with some other big power. I still don't think its out of the question that Mexico makes it out of the group play though. Uruguay won't be easy for Mexico either.
Teams that I would like to see do poorly: Italy (ugh I hate Italy), Portugal, Mexico ;D what I can say they're our rival and Nery Castillo annoys me to no end.
Teams that I would like to see do well: US, France, Ivory Coast, Ghana, S. Africa, S. Korea, Netherlands
The rest I'm pretty ambivalent about
I love the World Cup though.
Its funny, I lurk on a Fulham board some, and from there and stuff I've read on here and elsewhere it seems like a fair amount of Englishmen just don't care about the national team or even actively dislike them. Maybe that's the wrong impression, I don't know :-\
Ouma could I get you to add Argentina to the list of teams you want to see do well... ;D
