World Cup Finals Draw

[Archie's penalty]

Brazil-Ivory Coast!

[TFF]

USA and Algeria, not shaping up too bad tbh...

[Archie's penalty]

Algeria - easy.

[Royal Lady]

Algeria! Surely we can win this group?!

[Royal Lady]

Probs get France as our fourth team, just to please Spacey.

France-Algeria would be interesting as well.

[TFF]

Good draw for France. They can win that group.

[Royalee]

Excellent draw.

It's fair to say that Germany are by no means certain of getting out of Group D.

by the way, why aren't Wales in the draw?

[Archie's penalty]

My guesses:
France-Mexico from group A.
Argentina-Nigeria from group B.
England-USA from group C (easy group).
Germany-Serbia in the group of death group D.
Cameroon-Netherlands from group E.
Italy-Paraguay from group F (very easy group).
Brazil-Ivory Coast (hopefully) - maybe that's the group of death.
Spain-Chile in Group H.

LOL @ Beckham's comment 'they're all hard games at that stage'.

[RoyalChicagoFC]

In with a shout!

[NR_Royal]

I'd say we have a pretty easy group.

[Handsome Man]

We've won!
Are all the groups E, F, G and H teams in the other half of the draw?

[seahawk10]

England should be dispatched with ease in the opening game. And then we got two more softies.

U_S_A!!!

Are you serious? Maybe it's because they failed to qualify?

1 Germany 10 8 2 0 26 5 21 26
2 Russia 10 7 1 2 19 6 13 22
3 Finland 10 5 3 2 14 14 0 18
4 Wales 10 4 0 6 9 12 -3 12
5 Azerbaijan 10 1 2 7 4 14 -10 5
6 Liechtenstein 10 0 2 8 2 23 -21 2

[moo]

Hardest team out of 1st bunch, then poss the easiest 2 after that. V nice.

[Kitsondinho]

Great first round draw.....not too sure about the 2nd round...Ghana, Serbia or Germany (can't see Aus getting through). What about Brazil in the group of death!!

[RoyalChicagoFC]

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!

Great draw for us. But to be fair its all about group G - Brazil, Ivory Coast, Portugal and the mighty footballing nation that is North Korea
