Football World Cup Draw For Brazil 2014

[JCW]

With all the goings on in courts and the sad passing of Mandela this draw has been overlooked

Well who do you think England will get or who do the Team want to avoid ........Who do you think will win ? to be honest if you want to win the world cup you got to beat the best end off so it matters not who you get , there is a easy route or a harder route and its all down to the luck of the draw . so who do I think will win , well here is my list

Winners ...from .Argentina , Brazil , Spain

others ..... Germany, Uruguay ,

Rank outsiders ........Belgium

Looking forward to the draw now..............EYG

Belgium are my team for the big upset, they may not win it, but they will be in the last 4, if not the final!

They are now my second team as i work for a Belgian company and spend a lot of time drinking their beer.

I would love to have said england, but we have no chance. if we make the 1/4 finals that would be an amazing result. Need England to avoid Brazil and Argentina in the groups.

You call it a draw. But 'a mostly preconfigured exercise to ensure the countries with the biggest TV audiences get to the later stages of the tournament so FIFA can sell more advertising' would be more accurate. I don't think they use warm balls to separate out the teams, but if it came out that FIFA did this it would not overly surprise me with their track record.

As for who England will get than as already said, it doesn't matter as assuming we don't get in the group of death we will get through the group stages, but then come a cropper when we play our first half decent team who can keep possession of the ball better than us (actually that is most of them come to think of it), after a brave but ultimately losing performance where our most common pass will be from the keeper onto the head of Andy Carrol.

We want Switzerland from pot 1, everybody who isn't in pot 1 wants them too though. Switzerland has never been so popular!

I will settle for

Switzerland
England
Algeria
Honduras

We switzerland not one of the surprise teams last world cup or euros?good solid squad, well drilled and solid at the back? not my idea of an easy one! but if you want to win, you have to beat everyone so may as well get the tough games early and hope our preparation has been better than everyone elses!!

Switzerland are pap compared to the other teams in pot 1. They are the easiest team in that pot without a doubt.

Doesn't mean we will beat them though

Our best hope is scrape to the final with a flukey draw all the way through with no penalties and then the opposition get food poisoning on the day of the final.

Not much hope then

I see Roy has already started to mention the high humidity if we end up in some venues and how it will effect us. Which to be fair it will, seeing as our game is mostly based on running around a lot chasing the ball, which you can't really do in 30 degree heat and 95% humidity.

So in that case we will have to rely on our ball possession skills, or as it is also known, just play for penalties from the 1st minute.

England will win, I'll be rooting for them:whoo:

As a nation we do better when we are the underdogs................ETWC

 

[JCW]

I think England will get the group of death as FIFA don't like England , see how we never got the world cup . don't you think its time they just seed teams for the group stages then its an open draw , the champions league does this fix draw as well , its all fixed to get the best teams in the last 4 , so here goes for the last 4 of the world cup , Argentina V Brazil vs Spain V Germany as fixed by FIFA .......EYG

And when we get that group we will still only get 2 draws and 1 win.
