When Argentina will be punished for Maradona's handgoal back in 1986? Oh it seems they have paid for a long time And what about S.Korea in 2002? Ohsshit better to
Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Nigeria qualified. This adds to Ghana, who had already won their first leg 6-1. Senegal, Ethiopia, Egypt and Tunisia are out Last CAF place is Burkina Faso\Algeria (first leg ended 3-2)
Damn I can't even remember what it was edit: it was South Africa - Spain highlights Anyway f'uck -_- France is there because they're lower than the other qualified teams in the Fifa Ranking We could get Brazil - England - France for example. Maaan ... or Belgium - Greece - Algeria please?
Could also get Switzerland, Greece, Algeria anyway This is World Cup, and I think it is basically best 32 on board and it is going to be awesome.
We can have a similar group with the one we had in 2002 if we get: Belgium Russia Algeria (in place of Tunisia). In this seeding World Champions Spain and their runners-up Netherlands could face each other in the group stage. Honestly they have to change WC seeding and put at least the last WC performance into consideration. We can have a group with Spain, Netherlands, Cote D'Ivoire and Japan. and we can have another with Brazil, Portugal, Ghana and Mexico ( Brazil's bogey team). and we also can have a group of Germany, England, Nigeria and US. Anothet tough group with Argentina, Italy, France and Korea (or Australia) This is 4 groups of death so far. In the other hand we can get an easy group with Switzerland, Ecuador, Greecre and Hondutas (What a joke)! We can have a similar group with Belgium, Russia, Iran and Algeria. What I mean is that the seeding rules should be reconsidered.
BTW, the european teams pot might change after the next fifa ranking which will be released next week. So France may move above Russia in the ranking and be placed in the European pot, while Russia may slip into the pot which includes the 5 African teams + Ecuador and Chile, which will make the draw more balanced.
I just simulated the draw Skupina A Brazil Ivory Coast Bosnia and Herzeg. Honduras Skupina B Switzerland Rusia Japan Cameroon Skupina C Germany Italy Ecuador South Korea Skupina D Spain Croatia Chile Costa Rica Skupina E Argentina Netherlands Australia Algeria Skupina F Belgium England Nigeria Iran Skupina G Uruguay France Mexico Greece Skupina H Columbia Portugal USA Ghana if you want your own simulation here you go, you are welcomed in advance: http://ultra-zone.net/2014-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-Stage-Draws
Simulated a group putting us with Uruguay, England, and Cameroon. Would actually love to see a draw like that, that'd be about as even as it gets.
wait, are you sure about this? I'm sure that somewhere it's written clearly what FIFA Ranking is used for the final seeding. I am afraid it's october, can't swear tho
Check the rankings schedule, next ranking will be on November 28th, 8 days before the draw, they postponed it to the 28th to add November matches results as it will determine the WC seeding.
Uruguay qualified, but Jordan got a draw in Montevideo. That's a satisfaction for an AFC team, even with some suffer.
