Argentina va a probar el chile nacional.

Ahora sí. o_ó

 

[Magni]

France will fail as bad as 2002.

Or do as good as 1998 or 2006

 

[Fersis]

is fat ass maradona coaching?

And Messi rockin'

 

[BowieZ]

Fuck all you people predicting Germany + Serbia or Ghana.

Just you watch. Australia will be first in its group.

 

[bernardobri]

Hey, Argentina, how about a temporary change? We lend you Bielsa and you lend us Messi :lol

 

[Sickboy007]

I just hope they're gonna put the FUCKING HORNS to rest.

 

[Oozer3993]

Love the draw for the US. A good tough game against England to get them going then 2 teams we can beat. I don't like the possibility of Germany looming though. Gotta get a result against England. But man that first game is going to be a blast!

 

[feel]

angentina
nigeria

england
slovenia

ghana
serbia

netherlands

[painey]

I can't wait for the World Cup, and I can't believe we got such an easy group! Come on England!

 

[jamesinclair]

My predictions

France
Mexico

I think itll be South Africa and Mexico.

Mexico will lose to SA in first game, because its the first game, and mexicans always fail against africans (see CWC)

Mexico will beat France because france sucks.

South Africa will beat France because france sucks

Uruguay will tie every one.

 

[Fersis]

Hey, Argentina, how about a temporary change? We lend you Bielsa and you lend us Messi :lol

No thanks man, we all know how well he does on world cups.
No gracias, ya sabemos como le va a Bielsa en los mundiales

 

[spons]

Couldn't be any easier for our Dutch team than this. Smooth sailing, at least through this phase :lol

 

[speedpop]

Fuck all you people predicting Germany + Serbia or Ghana.

Yeaahhhh... no.

Germany are a world class team. The best team in Europe if you consider history and trophies.

 

[Holtz]

I just hope they're gonna put the FUCKING HORNS to rest.

Yeah, good luck with that, they love those damn things down there.:lol

 

[bernardobri]

No thanks man, we all know how well he does on world cups.
No gracias, ya sabemos como le va a Bielsa en los mundiales

Okay okay, Mago Valdivia for Messi and we're equal, okay? :lol

(Besides, Bielsa is on fire man, screw you. You know, I take that back. I'm also gay for Ted :lol )

[adama-rama]

Germany
Australia
Ghana

Well fuck. We're not gonna beat Germany, so best we can hope for is second.

We can beat Ghana and Serbia, but it won't be pretty...

Screw this group.

 

[Fersis]

Okay okay, Mago Valdivia for Messi and we're equal, okay? :lol

Yeah Bielsa is a great coach. He had very bad luck (And some stupid choices on Japan-Corea)

 

[Milchmonster]

Poor Ivory Coast, got fucked 2006 and yet again. I hope they go through, just to see Brazil or Portugal fail.

German group is okay, could have been easier, though. Ghana is pretty good as are Australia and Serbia...

 

[Milk Lizard]

France
Uruguay

Argentina

wat

 

[immy]

USA arn't nearly as good as they think they are.

 

[furrygiblets]

So England get Serbia in the last 16, France in the quarters, then Brazil in the semis, Spain in the final. No problem

 

[AstroLad]

US is in an easy group. I expect them to make it to the round of 16

yeah, the only real question mark for me is whether they could shock england or at least get a draw to avoid germany in the next round. even more unlikely in the first match but hey you have to face good teams out of the group stage regardless. just a historic day for us soccer all around.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Poor Ivory Coast, got fucked 2006 and yet again. I hope they go through, just to see Brazil or Portugal fail

Nothing would make me happier than to see Portugal knocked out in the first round just to see more of Ronaldo's salty tears, this time in high definition!

 

[Falch]

Easy group for the netherlands.

 

[smurfx]

Or how much the refs help S. Africa

yeah i'm afraid of the home team advantage. mexico should win but we saw back in the 2002 world cup how many breaks the home teams got.

 

[immy]

Nothing would make me happier than to see Portugal knocked out in the first round just to see more of Ronaldo's salty tears, this time in high definition!

o yes

 

[Gary Whitta]

US arn't nearly as good as they think they are.

All their players are second-rate and they've put in plenty of clownish performances in major competition but they can always be a surprise package, you just never know.

Having said that, I don't understand why the US commentators are relishing the fact England are in their group. It betrays either a basic understanding of football, or unwarranted arrogance, or both

Sorry, just had to add my LOLZ to this one. Only Australians are capable of this level of blinkered hubris. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Yeah that does seem a bit weird, South Africa would be the obvious choice. I think USA could have done a job against Argentina as well.

Keep your English cock in your pants before it gets bitten off

Group D is hard. 2nd place is up for grabs at the drop of a hat. Whoever wins in the Serbia v Ghana match will have a huge foot in the door, but if Australia grunt it out and hold Germany to a draw then we're in for some fireworks.

 

[AstroLad]

On the ESPN gamecast thing or whatever online all their soccer writers and some US players were like OH SHIT WORST POSSIBLE DRAW FOR US. Then the next teams got slotted and they were much, much happier. At least on there there was a lot of respect for England. I'm guessing on TV they will play it up a lot more to get people interested in the match.

I think we want one interesting game, but also a group that we can get out of. That's at least what I was hoping for, and thankfully, got it.

Plus, if we pull the upset, we get to start each conversation with, "So, did we beat you in the world cup? Wasn't able to see it myself." etc. etc. etc.
