I agree with your predictions, except that I say Germany-Poland in Group A and Brazil-Croatia in Group F.

Argentina has a bloody difficult group, Serbia-Montenegrois one of those teams you must NEVER underrate.

Germany was lucky as usual. Would be nice to see Costa Rica at the secound place, they really had bad luck in 2002.

MinardiP1

lucky Australia, they draw the toughest Group. :(

australia qualified? well, it seems hard to me.

forzaminardi

so what you're saying is that no single african team will make it past the first round? i beg to differ!

besides i don't think italy will make it past the first round. they may have good haircuts and do good things in their clubs every now and then but they're worthless as a tournament team. i say czech republic and usa will proceed from that group

RJ, now that the new World Cup in South Africa is approaching, I really hope you to give us other fantastic samples of your crystal-sphere art....:-)

Manlio, you just revived a four year old topic. Do you have any idea how long it took me to realise that this was about world cup 2006? ;)

Shame on France, thieving bastards, they stole the game and the qualification from Ireland!!!!
And shame on FIFA, it was CLEARLY a Blatter's "will" that France BE in South Africa!!!!!
And shame on the Swedish referee for allowing Henry's handball!!!!

Now, let's see the drawing!!! Ourselves and the destiny!!!!
Teams are grouped like this: A - Heads of Series - including South Africa, that everyone of course wants to join...., B - other Eurpoean Teams, C - Africa and rest of South America, D - Asia, Oceania and North-Central America.

Inevitably, there might be totally unequal groupings: we could have Brazil (or Italy, or Germany, or England), Holland, Côte d'Ivoire and Mexico, and in another group South Africa, Greece, Ghana and New Zealand!!! I'm already rubbing my hands!!!!!!!
Looks like a repetition of Spain 1982, with several teams (Honduras, Chile, Algeria, New Zealand) reappearing for the first or second time since then. We only miss Kuwait and El Salvador! North Korea is back after England '66!!!!

Hopefully, I should also manage to go and see the African Cup of Nations here in Angola in January! And would be my second time after Egypt 2006. More difficult to go to Seth Africa for the World Cup, prices are prohibitive.

My predictions for the 2010 World Cup qualified teams after the 1st round:

Group A: France-Mexico
Group B: Nigeria-Argentina
Group C: England-Algeria
Group D: Germany-Serbia
Group E: Holland-Denmark
Group F: Italy-Paraguay
Group G: Brazil-Portugal
Group E: Spain-Chile

Its England's year ... (as always). Actually, we are serious contenders this time thanks to Capello. Spain, Italy and Brazil ahead of England, I would say.

Argentina? are you sure?

Lease

Huh??? Is this Cricket or Rugby??

None of those teams will do any good in either.

viges

You went all quiet after the Ashes ...

Lease

Respectful silence in awe of the victors.

I think it was a case of we had too much talent, and too little ability.

Almost forgot;

Go Australia in the World Cup!!!

And in the spirit of the global village and political correctness, I just hope it isn't won by any:

Micks

Spics

Wogs

Dagoes

Coons

Nips

Chinks

Hebes

Pakies

Curry Munchers

Latino Poofters

Yanks

Cannucks

Poms

Kiwi Sheep Frighteners

Ruskies

Slavs

Belgies

Skandos

Frogs

Towelheads/ Sand Niggers

.......or the Dutch
