Paddy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Unless NZ are very good defensively (which they are), I can't see them beating SA.:huh:You can't see them beating South Africa, unless they possess a certain quality, which you believe they do possess...

Sir Thursday Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Being in Group C is great for England - means that if everything goes according to plan we'll be playing South Africa in the Quarters :)EDIT: Algeria! Awesome :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Being in Group C is great for England - means that if everything goes according to plan we'll be playing South Africa in the Quarters :)I don't think they'll qualify from their group, whoever they're drawn against.Algeria is a decent draw, from that pot.

Sir Thursday Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I don't think they'll qualify from their group, whoever they're drawn against.Algeria is a decent draw, from that pot.I was going by the seedings, but yeah, it's very unlikely. Neither Mexico nor Uruguay are anything to fear though, which is nice. Just comes down to the Europeans.EDIT: And it's France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renasko Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm pissed France and Argentina, the greatest underachievers of the qualification campaign, managed to obtain relatively easy groups. Grr. England got the easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Aha, Beckham can't stop grinning.Ivory Coast can beat Portugal. If they want to do well then they have to beat teams like that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Group F1 Italy2 Paraguay3 New Zealand4 SlovakiaSlovakia will win that group. Believe it. Great draw for NZ, by the way. Shame the Aussies didn't get a group like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gladius Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia. That's a pretty nice group :D.I agree. We should be able to win against Algeria and maybe get a lucky draw against the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 GROUP OF DEATH!BrazilNorth KoreaIvory CoastPortugalThat should be a cracker. Sucks for Ivory Coast that they keep getting such tough groups though.EDIT: Cross postI agree that's three tough teams, but isn't North Korea one of the worst teams in the tournament? I thought that Group D (Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana), would be the group of death when I initially read the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Ack.Another tough one for the Socceroos. Oh well, didn't draw the real floaters at least.Brazil v North Korea is going to be one hell of a lopsided opener.Bad luck for the hosts too, they're going to need a lot of vuvuzelas.EDIT: groups of death as I understand encompass Group D where each team has a reasonable expectation of making the playoff and Group G where one particularly good team stands to be eliminated regardless.
