<peacedove>2014 World cup draw is on Friday.
England are unlikely to be seeded: which group are they going to be?
1.Group of death??
2 Facing the host Brazil ??
3.Easy Group??

Predict:



Africa:
Algeria
Cameroon
Ghana
Ivory Coast
Nigeria

Asia:
Australia
Iran
Japan
South Korea

Europe:
Belgium
Bosnia-Hercegovina
Croatia
England
France
Germany
Greece
Italy
Spain
Netherlands
Portugal
Russia
Switzerland

North & Central America & Caribbean:
Costa Rica
Honduras
United States
Mexico

South America:
Argentina
Brazil (hosts)
Colombia
Ecuador
Chile
Uruguay
 
Group of death can be this.
Spain
England
Nigeria
Brazil

Cant happen, Spain and Brazil are both seeded.

We need to avoid any of these combos if possible, otherwise we are probably coming home before the KO stage:

Germany/Spain
Chile/Ecuador/Ivory-Coast/Ghana
USA/Mexico
or
Argentina/Brazil/Uruguay
France/Ivory-Coast/Ghana
USA/Mexico
 
We should be hoping for Switzerland or Columbia from the seeded teams
 
May be the first time in a long time there are multiple groups of death, a lot of good teams in this tournament. Should be awesome, really excited for the draw actually.

I know its what it is referred to as but perhaps that's not the best choice of words considering events in Brazil...<laugh>

I used to look forward to these big international tournaments but I've not got excited about one since 1998!

I am excited with this one. Try this little simulator and look how many times your team gets a tough group or just the tough groups in general!!

This was after the first try so you can imagine all the possibilities.
 
Just did a single simulation and I'd be happy with this:

Argentina, Iran, Nigeria & England


Edit:

Even happier with the second simulation:

Switzerland, Korea Republic, Nigeria & England

Nigeria are so hot and cold but I would expect you to get out of that. You see my draw and who USA got?? ****ING HELL!! <laugh>

I did it a second time and swear on my life I got : Brazil, USA, France, Portugal .... <grr>
 
Since 66 its been world cup's of death for England not groups, and nothings gonna change that from continuing to be the case in Brazil.
 
Ah...

Germany, Ivory Coast, Costa Rica & England <yikes>

I thought the third time would be the charm....

Belgium, Chile, USA, England...... I think the signs are not looking good for a USA draw this year!!!
 
Switzerland, Costa Rica, Chile & England


Piece of piss this <whistle>

THe swiss are tricky as they are a pretty decent side, Costa Rica only advantage would be being used to the climate... maybe? <laugh>
