World Cup draw day
 

Today is the day. Hopefully England avoids Portugal. What are you hoping to happen for your team?

Argentina !!!
 

i hope this time they do something.... it's about time, maybe Messi will show up this tournament :thumbsup

really on a friday?

lol

Go Argentina ! But I hate Maradona ! You know why :)

not a big soccer fan, I cross my fingers for the home team South Africa, yeah! Today 18.00 o'clock CET is the draw right?

I'm a diehard soccer fan but we know what teams are going all the way and what teams won't make it out of the relegation round. I'm looking at you USA, South Africa, and the rest of the bunch not named Spain, Brazil, Italy, and maybe England.

I don't really care, Holland is gonna win as I always say!

A "die hard soccer fan" would call it football and not soccer :2 cents:

;))

Portugal is not the one you need to worry about.

Not the only one anyway

Hope to avoid France!!!

With Maradona as coach they will be lucky to win one game.

2 bad cup draws in a row...hopefully we get an easier draw this year!

Haha only if I lived in Europe. Been in America too long to call it anything but soccer. But I know enough to be considered "diehard" lol.

Lets face it, the US had their best team in 2006 and almost got by Germany. They've gone downhill since then. I want them to win but it's also unrealistic.

Hoping we draw South Africa by far the easiest of the seeded teams, already set my alarm clock so I don't miss it :)

In that case I forgive you :D

In case Thierry Henry plays vollebyall halfway through the match again? :disgust

Finally - something good from the Daily Mail :winkwink:

ahahah Maradonna and Messi are good at it too :thumbsup
Go France!

This Cup is going to be very competitive. Hope Brazil plays as it was playing the last 2 years.

Being Scottish i'm obviously hoping for a hard draw for England.

The thing is, looking at the Pots, i can't really pick out a "hard" draw so to speak...

I'm hoping the US get S Africa, Algeria and Slovenia...at least they would have a chance to get out of the group stage!!!

odds to win...
S.Africa 100 to 1
Algeria 300 to 1
Slovenia 200 to 1
US 80 to 1

Haha, yeah that looks about right! :1orglaugh

some Oscar winning eye candy for the guys doing the draw

YEAH

Under the rehearsal when she pulled out France she said Ireland. (her hubby is Irish)

Then they are going to whine about it forever and if they go to on to the next round they will lose on penalties :D

Did she? LOL !! That's awesome. :thumbsup

His list is of people who knocked England out ;)

Good on her !!! :thumbsup


:321GFY France.

2009 - Lionel Messi :)

Don't be a hater!!! Support your southern neighbors LOL

Here comes the fun! :D

Greece will destroy football and win the World Cup too! :pimp

Group A with SA and Mexico looks good.

Good luck to all the teams :thumbsup

Bring on the Brits! Go USA!!!

USA USA USA !!!! :winkwink:

Italy and New Zealand would be OK too.

Korea, excelent!

Nigeria, no easy, but it could be worst.

G don't look good with Brazil, Ivory Cost and North Korea.
Never fun to play against a team that risk labour camp if they lose.

GROUP A for Denmark would be very very good.

Or D wouldn't be to bad.

I reckon some of those groups look very weak.

The top seeded team in each group should go through with no problems at all !!
