World Cup Finals Draw

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Anyone else notice how pissed off Theron looked?

[rg6royal]

Hmm, pretty tidy group for England.

She is awesome.

[No Fixed Abode]

Don't get too excited. We'll get knocked out in the quater or semi final. We definitely won't win it.

[Row V]

A worst-case scenario on Friday would result in Capello's side taking on France, Ivory Coast and the United States, while a far easier proposition on paper would have England facing Slovenia, Algeria and New Zealand.

Two out of three wasn't bad!

Aaaaaagh, someone has posted England's Game Plan on the internet!

Anyone else notice how pissed off Theron looked?

Yeah, she seemed to say that it was best not to make a comment!

I really hope Mexico and South Africa can give them a sound thrashing.

[Wycombe Royal]

A, C, E and G winners paired with B, D, F and H runners up in the upper bracket thru to the semis

Question:

--When they drew from the second dish, first ones out were Nigeria, who got slotted into Group B owing to South Africa being in Group A

--Next out were Côte d'Ivoire, who also were steered away from Group A and got put into Group G

Why weren't they put into Group C? Ticker-in-throat moment right here!

First two African teams pulled out were put in the two Groups containing South American teams from Pot A.

Ah cheerz

I really did have a horrible couple of seconds there imagining Drogba putting a hatful past Howard and still haven't recovered fully

Can't see the locals (Aussies) getting out of their group on current form. They've been playing very defensively and relying on snatching the odd goal. They are struggling without a decent front man (Josh Kennedy ) to lead the line and need Viduka back even if he has had too many Croatian pies.

Essien will easily dominate the midfield with the Germans and Serbs being too strong technically - can't see the Aussies with much posesssion in those games. Schwarzer, Neill, & Cahill are going to have to play out of their skin.

&New Zealand at the World Cup...that is just a joke.

Thats why everyone wanted them in their group

Group B is very similar to Argentina's group in 1994 with them + Greece + Nigeria grouped together again.

[Baines]

Officially excited now. Not sure why any other countries are going to bother to turn up, tbh.
