directly on the fifa site.

yahoo is running their own version too.

what do you think about the whole "pots" scheme that FIFA is running. curiously the countries that contribute the most funding to FIFA is seeded in pot 1. basically guaranteeing them not having to play one another and also giving further insurance to progress to the second round.

i mean i understand the reason behind this, these countries are more popular and attract more spectators worldwide (televion revenue). but it's still a bit unfair. i think they should just throw them all in one pot and draw from there. nothing wrong with a group of England, Italy, Brazil, Argentina.

I believe it's also based on their previous records, Denys. I'm sure they believe it'd be too unbalanced to have a group with England, Italy, Brazil, and Argentina, and another group with Algeria, North Korea, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

But, I agree with you - it'd be way more fun if it were completely random, though that could also be less profitable.

right. but here's my point. argentina qualified behind chile and paraguay in qualifying, but yet they go to pot 1.

also, for a bit of lulz, follow on guardian -

They have more overall points though. It's based on ranking points only, of which Argentina have a good long-term record in the last 4-5 yrs. France have been bad in the last 4 so they missed out.

I'd let Charlize Theron pull my balls out any time she wants to.

We can hold our heads high again. Charlize Theron has made a point to FIFA. She likes us...oh the excitement...she likes us...

the red dress covers too much tit, poor choice... classy, but poor.

US vs. England. fantastic!
