i'd hope that Portugal don't make it through, for one reason.

Ronaldo, the worst diver and cheat in the history of football.

Anyone remember that game in Germany in 06.

Easy group for England. Only USA should cause us any sort of challenge, but we should still beat them.

Some interesting draws elsewhere. Group D and Group G should be interesting. Here are my predictions of who will go through. By all means place bets based on these if you wish ;)

Bold = Qualifiers

Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile
Group G: Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal
Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia
Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon
Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana
Group C: ENGLAND, United States, Algeria, Slovenia
Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece
Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France

I remember that one. Rooney should of butted him :doh:D

He stamped on his balls. Much better than a headbutt.

Ivory Coast have got a tough group again, although I still fancy them going through as I do with Ghana over Australia. USA are more than capable of beating England. Germany and Italy always do well when it matters the most so expect them to reach the QFs atleast as well.

My picks:
Group A: Mexico, France
Group B: Argentina, Nigeria
Group C: England, USA
Group D: Germany, Ghana
Group E: Netherlands, Japan
Group F: Italy, Paraguay
Group G: Brazil, Ivory Coast
Group H: Spain, Chile

Definately not the draw I wanted, Uruguay is fine by France and Mexico will be very difficult. Hopefully Mexico will go through their usual inconsistant phase during the world cup. Group D is probably the group of death, every teams looks like they could go through. At least we know that their will be plenty of goals in the group stages, especially with Korea DPR in a group with probably the top team of each Pot.


Group A: South Africa, France (I can hope, can't I)
Group B: Argentina, Nigeria
Group C: England, United States
Group D: Germany, Ghana
Group E: Netherlands, Cameroon
Group F: Italy, Paraguay
Group G: Brazil, Ivory Coast
Group H: Spain, Chile

Even though I don't expect much from NZ we could have done a lot worse in the draw so I am happy with who we got.

I want Portugal out for one reason only - they've developed an aggravating habit of removing us from tournaments, usually when we've actually played better than them as well, on penalties. It hasn't got anything to do with whether they're a better team than England (I don't think they are), but when a team has developed a habit of fluking their way to a shootout which they invariably win, you'd rather see them out. So, I'll be cheering for whoever plays Portugal...

I'm not too sure about Greece getting out of that group - don't write off Nigeria. Portugal to go as well, eh? I hope so!

Its Italy i am talking about

I'm a little confused as to how Italy can be one of your National teams?

They're one of mine, because I'm half Italian, although I'd support England without any qualms if the two teams were to meet.

Wish we could swap with the English, whole heap of no name teams there.

Your group isn't as cut and dried as people make out - don't write off Serbia.

Well when you're as good as us, then you might be seeded ;)

I'm just worried how we're already building it up as our year. Being in Scotland ain't gonna be fun if we majorly flop :(
