World Cup Draw Thread *spoilers*

If I was a betting man I would have Germany win D and Ghana second. Then again, I swear you can NEVER count on England to do anything remotely predicatable such as winning what's looking to be the easist group in the whole tournament.
 
I don't think there is an easy game at the World Cup, all the teams are there on merit (except France if you're Irish) they're all fairly good teams and will hopefully step up for the occasion.

England v USA, could have played Algeria first :p got some momentum to take up against USA (who were very good recently).

Brasil group looks good fun.

They aren't really there on merit though, they beat other teams, but how many qualified in groups with previous world Cup winners, or recent post group stage teams, very few, none of the African nations, nor asian teams actually had to beat anyone great to get into the world cup. It's not like beating the philipines and New Zealand somehow puts you on the same level as Brazil or even England. There are easy games and some pretty poor teams in the world cup, just not as poor as others, none of these teams are as bad as a San Marino obviously, but some aren't very far ahead, they just qualified in a group with 8 other San Marino type sides.


Not quite sure how England got such a stupidly easy group, only downside is spanking some no hoper side 6-0 and seeing the entire country go mad thinking they'll win it... again.

Looks like none of the African sides have an easy group, Ivory Coast and Ghana have the best chance, if Portugal keep playing like crap and Serbia aren't bad, they aren't great though.

I always forget which is which though, is it Uruguay or Paraguay who are pretty damn good and often cause a few upsets in that south american group against Brazil/Argentina?

North Korea have History with Portugal

Their most notable result came in the 1966 World Cup at Middlesbrough F.C. home Ayresome Park, when North Korea upset Italy 1-0 to gain a spot in the quarterfinals. There, they lost 5-3 to Portugal despite taking a 3-0 lead
