World Cup 2010 Draw
I wanted to go ahead and make the thread since the groups have already been seeded and the draw is Friday. Of course I want to know what people think of the groups and which group is the "Group of Death" but I want to know the best likely scenarios for the US.
I for one would LOVE for the US to be in England's group win or lose it would be more fun that way

Re: World Cup 2010 Draw
US ( United States ) and Football, still makes me laugh !
Would love to have them in our group, a certain 3 pts one would hope!
Was it France98 when the US were paired Iraq in the group stage, talk about irony
Regards England and the World Cup, just hope we dont carry on with being a quarter final team. Yet under the charge of Capello one feels we can at least make the semi's, just need to avoid Brazil if we can do that till the final then, yea we have a good chance this time around

Slovakia actually have some half-decent players. Hamsik and Skrtel. Watch out for Weiss aswell. Young lad at City. Scored against Arsenal last night and ripped Jonny Evans a new arsehole in the qualifiers.
The seeding seems a little weird. 4th seeds seem almost as strong as the 2nd seeds.

Re: World Cup 2010 Draw
I think we should be expected semis no less this time, I dont think we will win it, seedings are a bit silly.
Spain for me !!!

only the 1st pot of south africa, brazil, italy, germany, england, holland, spain and argentina is seeded
The other 3 pots are all based on where the country qualified from as FIFA want to keep sides from the same continents apart!!

Re: World Cup 2010 Draw
FIFA just seem to make there own rules up as they go, the first pot is off world rankings but France are higher than the English but England are in pot 1, im not complaining but how the hell did they come up with that?I see you've read the papers today...

Re: World Cup 2010 Draw
I think France would have got the final top seed had it not been for the fact of the Henry hand ball incident and the way the play offs were scandously seeded to favour France and Portugal (FIFA did all they could to get Ronaldo there). With all the shot going on at the moment with Iris requesting another place and reinstatement etc... if FIFA had given top seeding to France it would have just made it worse.
Always get nervous around the world cups.
I have got my hopes up for so many - lived the excitement and shed the tears. Its basically 3 weeks living on the edge for me (or less depending how it goes...) I just hope I get to see us win one in my lifetime...
One thing we are due in a tournament is a bit of luck - there is no one out there who can say we aren't. Althought its in the southern hemisphere the climate will suit us as its winter and with current squad and Capello in charge its true to say its probably our best chance for a long time.
As an Englishman who is never confident for these tournaments (!) Spain and Brazil aside I would say on paper we are next best team there - ok, unfortunately we have to play on fucking grass !!! Beddum tish !
But seriously if we can get to semis / final and play Spain \ Brazil at the end of the day its knockout football and although they would be slight favourites against us we are well capable of beating them.
And to be fair we have always played well against the good teams in tournament - but as said never had the luck. Psychologically if we go into a penalty shootout I think we are doomed as no English man expects to score (and I will not watch this time thats for sure).
Another thing too - after this in 2014 it will be held in Brazil. We have no chance of winning there because of the climate so basically it will be another 8 years before we have a chance of winning. Jesus I will be 45............
Bring it on. Bring the goals. Bring the tension. Bring the drama. But please please please bring the luck.........
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
