lol

Go Argentina ! But I hate Maradona ! You know why

**NBBCash Matze** · 12-04-2009, 02:56 AM

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?

**The Demon** · 12-04-2009, 03:04 AM

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.

**wielco** · 12-04-2009, 03:27 AM

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

;))

Portugal is not the one you need to worry about.

Not the only one anyway

**kowalsky** · 12-04-2009, 05:19 AM

Hope to avoid France!!!

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

**HighSociety** · 12-04-2009, 05:23 AM

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.

**The Demon** · 12-04-2009, 05:25 AM

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.

**Michael O** · 12-04-2009, 05:31 AM

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

ahahah Maradonna and Messi are good at it too

Go France!

**Pedro Pink Robot** · 12-04-2009, 07:20 AM

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

**Scott McD** · 12-04-2009, 07:21 AM

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...

**cwd** · 12-04-2009, 07:23 AM

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

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

**GrStallion** · 12-04-2009, 09:06 AM

Here comes the fun! :D

Greece will destroy football and win the World Cup too!

**Michael O** · 12-04-2009, 09:07 AM

Group A with SA and Mexico looks good.

**DonX** · 12-04-2009, 09:08 AM

Good luck to all the teams

**Poppy** · 12-04-2009, 09:10 AM

Bring on the Brits! Go USA!!!

**Scott McD** · 12-04-2009, 09:11 AM

USA USA USA !!!!

**Michael O** · 12-04-2009, 09:12 AM

Italy and New Zealand would be OK too.

**kowalsky** · 12-04-2009, 09:15 AM

Korea, excelent!

**kowalsky** · 12-04-2009, 09:15 AM

Nigeria, no easy, but it could be worst.

**Michael O** · 12-04-2009, 09:16 AM

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.

**Michael O** · 12-04-2009, 09:17 AM

GROUP A for Denmark would be very very good.

**Michael O** · 12-04-2009, 09:17 AM

Or D wouldn't be to bad.

**Scott McD** · 12-04-2009, 09:19 AM

I reckon some of those groups look very weak.

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