And of course the Mexicans luck out and get South Africa as their top seed.  :mad:

However the English draw the USA!  Prepare to be owned again mothercountry!

Wow that draw couldn't have gone much better for the US:

England
United States
Algeria
Slovenia

We have a great chance to get out of that group!

Well Portugal is a shadow of the team 10 years ago and IC was better a few years ago IIRC.

Ireland could get through the group France is in, too.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Spain got an easy group, not being first would be a huge let down. And it'd mean playing most surely against Brazil in the 1/8ths, which would be tough.  :face:

Netherlands 
Denmark 
Japan 
Cameroon

We can do that, as Holland will yet again manage to find a new way to let down Holland. And surprising that there really isn't any power group this time, G would've been a contender with Mexico instead of NK.

And this is my guess for the teams that will get through the group stage:

Quote from: Valmy on December 04, 2009, 01:38:33 PM

A
Mexico 
France 

B
Argentina 
Nigeria 

C
England 
United States 

D
Germany 
Serbia 

E
Netherlands 
Cameroon 

F
Italy 
Paraguay 

G
Brazil 
Ivory Coast  or Portugal 

H
Spain 
Chile

Group G is really the only one in which 3 teams can realistically get through, IMO. E can also see Cameroon and Denmark battling for the 2nd spot, but I think Cameroon are ahead.

It would  be hilarious if France won it.  How bitter would the Irish be then?

I mean not that there is much chance of that happening or anything...

So, if we manage to beat IC and finsih second we'll be drawn against Spain (assuming that they naturally finish in 1st).

What a great draw... <_<
