World Cup:Possible Groupings

Japan would be a hard beat though regardless. And I dunno anything about Togo, just like I didn't know anything about Senegal last year.

But, we would beat the French though.

 

Here the pots, the BILD newspaper printed today:









Seems, the setting between pot 3 and 4 is unclear (FIFA will know i guess),
because there are 9 European nations, that aren´t in pot 1
and FIFA said, that each continent should have a max of 2 teams n a group.

Will be interested if this pot setting is true (in the way it was printed) and chear for the drawing this Friday.

 

Yes that is reasonable.

 

I think the toughest group Gerrmany could get would look like:

Germany
Netherland/Czech Republic
Paraguay
USA (maybe South Korea)

Of course, among the European teams there are other tough teams, like Portugal, Sweden, Croatia. But the Dutch and the Czechs stand out IMO.

Not sure which the most dangerous African country would be...

 

The most dangerous African country is Ivory Coast IMO

 

Germany Togo Swiss T&T (easy peasy)

Italy Paraguay Croatia South Korea (boring)

Brazil Australia Portugal USA (bring it)

France Ecuador Czechs Saudi Arabia (as long as the czechs go through)

Argentina Ghana Ukraine Iran (a few debutants with argentina, just like 98)

Mexico Holland S&M Tunisia (sorts out the floating euro and gives the holland top dog status they deserve)

Spain Angola Poland Costa Rica (spain gets through)

England Ivory Coast Sweden Japan (shake things up)





what i DONT want...

germany ghana holland/portugal/czechs southkorea

 

Boy am I glad we won't get placed in a group with the czech's
they are our angstgegners <-- (S?) But as a dutchie I do hope we get in the same group as the germans. That would be sweet.

 

haha problaby yeah.

btw who do you rate the most of the dutch team? and who do you think is the biggest talent?

what do you think of your own german team and talents?

why do germans like David Hasselhoff?

 

"Angstgegner" without "s".
Quite strange Holland is not seeded, whereas Spain is. What did they achieve in World Cup History? Well, you haven't been qualified in 2002, but you qualified comfortably this time - Spain having to overcome play-off matches.

The dutch team is very talented, with some outstanding players. I rate van Nistelrooy and van der Vaart particularly high.

Our team has a lot of talent too, something we lacked in recent years. Podolski is an outstanding striker for example, offensive and midfield are absolutely competitive. The discussion about who should be our nr 1 keeper is somewhat ridiculous because we could chose from a dozen excellent goalies,
some really world class, and will probably end up with old Kahn as usual.
The defence is our main problem, followed by a lack of experience as most players are very young.

Careful with Mr Hasselhoff! I liked Knight Rider too, and the cool guy who told KITT to initialize the power booster...

 

BTW what do you think about Mexico being seeded?
Have we beaten a major power in world football without noticing it?

 

i consider mexico as a good squad but not a so-called super power at all...

@thread
gimme holland!!!! that will be tough, but i would love to see

 

On Friday Hedi Klum will be one of the moderator at the WC draw.
She says, she is very nervous, because it´s the first football show she comments,
but she has experienced Sportschau moderator Beckmann on her side.
"I root for Klinsmann´s team" and there is no doubt for her, that Germany
reach the final: "We are good, so why shouldn´t we reach it."

Ah yes, I'm sure glad Ms. Klum will be on hand. She's well known for her insightful comments on the beautiful game. Nobody analyses tactics like Heidi. It was a real coup getting her, as I'm sure she was very busy with her usual Bundesliga commitments on the weekend.

 

TV total draw:

Germany
Ecuador
Poland
Trinidad & Tobago
