POT 4 (EUROPE) Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, England, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Russia.
The nightmare Group of Death for England:
Germany, Holland, South Korea, England
And for the US:
Brazil, Italy, Mexico, US
And the easiest draw for England:
Switzerland, Nigeria, Iran, England
And for the US:
Colombia, Ivory Coast, Australia, US
The ceremony part has started now with the usual song and dance routines.
A lot of tributes to Nelson Mandela now, who was on hand for the last draw in South Africa.
Good morning Bob. I checked online and cannot locate where the groups have been determined. Has that started yet?
I think Russia is in pot 2 because there were nine teams in pot 4 and seven in pot 2.
It is up :
Pots 1 and 2 have been drawn into the eight groups. So far,
Group A has Brasil and Cameroon
Group B has Spain and Chile
Group C has Colombia and Ivory Coast
Group D has Uruguay and Italy
Group E has Switzerland and Ecuador
Group F has Argentina and Nigeria
Group G has Germany and Ghana
Group H has Belgium and Algeria
Mexico has been added to Group A
The Aussies to Group B
Japan has joined Group C
Costa Rica is in Group D
Honduras is in what looks a dull Group E
I think that means the opening match is Brasil vs Cameroon
Iran is in Group F
USA is in with Germany and Ghana. They may have an early World Cup exit.
South Korea has been added to Group H.
Now pot 4 : the unseeded European teams.
Hiya, MUR - I'm just back from a swim as I thought that maybe I could get one in while they were arsing about. Missed it.
Here's the draw in full:
Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia
Group C: Colombia, Greece, Cote d'Ivoire, Japan
Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras
Group F: Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria
Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, USA
Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, Korea Republic
Well, that's a bad one for both our sides. I reckon England might be able to pull off a second place if Italy start slowly. Uruguay are the real danger. And the US - three and out, I reckon. Ouch!
Hope you had a great swim. Agreed about the U.S and feel that it will be the same fate for England.
We're doomed.... both sides of the pond!
