The final draw for the groups of the 2010 Fifa world cup draw is set to take place in Cape Town, South Africa today from 19:00 local time.
The pots
Pot 1 (seeded teams) Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina, England, South Africa (hosts)
Pot 2 (Asian, Oceanian and North and Cenrtal American zone) Australia, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic, Honduras, Mexico and United states of America, New Zealand.
Pot 3 (African and South American zone) Ivory Coast, Algeria, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile.
Pot 4 (European zone) France, Portugal, Switzerland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Greece, Serbia and Denmark.
Only European teams may be drawn with teams form the same zone.
I hope South Africa gets a nice, easy group. New Zealand/Korea DPR/Honduras with Uruguay and Switzerland/ Slovenia should suffice. If we get Portugal, Paraguay and Mexico, we are screwed.
You can get some real monster groups with these types of draws, just imagine Brazil, Portugal, Ivory Coast and Mexico in one group.
