World Cup Draw!!

[scineram]

Great Draw, it seems that two or three teams stand out from each group, there shouldn't be too many surprises to qualify to the knockout round 

There always are. One of Brazil and Portugal will struggle, France will not make it, neither will at least one of England, Germany, Netherlands.
MARK MY WORDS!

I hope Serbia makes it to best of 8... I REALLY hope... If they make it past that I'll be ecstatic.

Here's to Upset Watch 2010. The US shall destroy the Red Coats!!!1111

I think Both England and the U.S will make it from that group, the battle between them is a must see fight  ;)
Fun Fact, the U.S already defeated England during a World Cup, the year was 1950, It was one of the biggest Upsets in WC History  ;D

South Africa is the host, but is a weak team, Uruguay qualified playing an extra round, and Mexico is not as strong as It looks, it always qualifies because it plays against weak teams, France will go to the next stage.

Germany, Netherlands and England qualified with no problems and have all made it to the WC Final before, they will go through too.

I do agree though that Brazil or Portugal might struggle because the Ivory Coast is there too and only two teams pass from each group.

I hope Serbia makes it to best of 8... I REALLY hope... If they make it past that I'll be ecstatic.

Germany is the only hard one from that group , Serbia has a real chance to make it to the Round of 16, the best 8 might be a little more difficult

France played an extra round too and barely made it.

Also how easily the teams qualified and what did they achieve in previous World Cups is superirrelevant.

It is relevant when you think that only seven Countries have won the WC

Uruguay has not done shit since 1950. England since '66. The dutch and spanish have better chance. I did not say expect a huge surprise at the end, but there will be upsets.

Spain is always favorite, since I can remember starting from Italy 90' and the best they've done is a quaterfinal, the Dutch have more chances than Spain if you ask me, Brazil-Spain should be the final based on the current Ranking, but I don't think that will be it

No one mentioned Argentine Team!!
Yeah, we got lucky with our group, hope we don't underachieve...

You're right, Spain was always candidate, but in this WC, it is more of a candidate! Everybody expects Spain in semifinals. IMO, Brasil would defeat Spain if they encounter(no matter which round), Kaka' is such a great player
