It's in the bag!

Decent World Cup draw for England!

Good job, Becksie!

World Cup Draw 

So all the finger crossing didn’t quite work out, but England still scored a pretty decent draw. As mentioned by Shearer beforehand - in a rare moment of moving honesty and vulnerability - England shouldn’t really fear the USA.

Things are looking good, and there’s even a Group of Death that the boys in white managed to avoid. Great job, Becksie. Great job.

The Spoiler can almost taste the World Cup champagne!

Feel free to leave some thoughts on the group in the form of a comment… 

Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France

Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece

Group C: ENGLAND, USA, Algeria, Slovenia

Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana

Group E: Holland, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

Group G: Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal

Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

    Let the smack-talk begin, limey pricks! I’ve said for years that the USA will win a WC before England win another. I have no designs on winning this one, but we at least have the chance to prolong your misery.

    Here’s to Stevie G and Lamps getting in each other’s way…and an errant back-pass by Tweedy!

    Seriously, good luck and make sure South Korea or Algeria don’t take points off of you.

    Are you bloody retarded “New Jack” ????!?!? Please tell me you’re joking.

    Everybody talks about group G being the group of death but I don’t see it. Group A is pretty much levelled (lets consider France, Mexico and Uruguay had trouble qualifying for the World Cup) what with France playing poorly under Domenech and South Africa being the host nation they can give the other teams in the group a hard time. As far as group G, I only see Brazil and Ivory Coast going thru, Portugal are not that big of a threat and God forbid they lose their star player to injury … and also, Korea DPR in the group of death? Seriously? I don’t think so

    I thought the Death group was group D with the Krauts, the Serbs, the Aussies and Ghana. That’d make much more sense.
    As for England, I hope Slovenia and USA screw you tossers over, and you don’t even make the playoff phase, for what you did to us in the quals… Bloody wankers.

    Seriously, though, best of luck.
