^^^
edit :
1. Germany will be in group A
2. With the exception of Europe, NO group may contain 2 teams from the same continent. Europe may have as much as 2 in the same group.
3. The top 8 seeds will be determined partially based on FIFA ranking (and most likely previous WC experiences. |

Hmmm... Surprised Paraguay made it over Uruguay. Didn't know Paraguay finished higher. No Chilavert for that team though.
Africa is all ed. No Nigeria, no South Africa and no one knows much about other teams, except for Ivory Coast. Drogba is going to run some defenders ragged.
Iran could also be a dark horse and knock out some teams. At least there's no US in their group to distract them.
Maybe US will go further than round of 16 this time. Friedel always seems to step it up a notch more during WC. And no Jeff Agoos this time.
Doubt Korea will for this time. Maybe round of 16. No Hiddink to lead, but they do have Dick Advocaat as manager. Koreans will try to run their opposition ragged, and they have the players to do that, but central defence may be shaky with Choi Jin Cheul on his last tourney and Hong Myung Bo retired.
Would be very interesting if Croatia and Serbia meets some time during the tourney. Bring the riot police lol.
Ukraine may be another dark horse, but I don't think Shevchenko is enough to get them past the group stage.
Australia on a very emotional high and may finally work together as team. The quality is there and Hiddink in charge, they may go far. Another dark horse |

Yeah. Last time they were in WC was 1986 (Mexico). Some decent players, but a string of bad luck and bad refs cost them. |

Being a Dutch supporter, I can personally attest for Advocaat's inadequacies. :p (Sorry, Korean supporters...) |

ooooh boy african teams gonna rock the cup! cant wait to see ghana and togo. the way the come into this world cup reminds me of senegal and if they can put the same show... damn! and of course ivory coast has a damn strong team.
Also cant wait to see germany play, an offensive team with plenty of young flair is just something i couldnt picture when thinking about germany! if jurgen gets them more organized at the back ill put my money on them winning the cup. |

I saw all of those games...bad luck and bad refs really had nothing to do with it...I think I recall one good shooting opportunity in three games... |

| It's weird though Canada doesnt have a better team, considering the relativly large amount of ppl playing it! Guess you will have a breakthrough soon though :p |
