USA get Germany, Ghana, Portugal

[RSE]

In World Cup draw. Could finish 2nd, could easily finish 4th. Nothing easy here. Would love to crush Portugal again like 2002.

[Sect 236]

That's a tough draw.

Schnicklebruber would cheer for Germany

I wonder what xenophobe green thinks???

Could be worse. Costa Rica out of our pot got Uruguay, Italy and England.

I'll take it

The boys will be up for Ghana this time.

[Sect 236]

Yeah, that's the other grouping that is unreal.

How about Messi and the Argentinians getting Bosnia, Nigeria and Iran. Bit of a cakewalk there.

[RSE]

Group B with Spain, Chile and Holland would have been rough too. On the other hand, Mexico got Brazil but also got Cameroon and Croatia, a lot better than Portugal and Ghana.

Argentina and France were the draw winners definitely.

Yeah, that's the other grouping that is unreal.

Bosnia is legit - Dzeko and Ibisevic are a pretty powerful duo who can score at any time... Some underrated players like Begovic and Pjanic. Nigeria are the African champions and other than the Ivory Coast they boast the most pure talent of any African team. Iran is, well, Iran. I can't remotely see Argentina not qualifying, but I could see them struggling against either of those two.

The true cakewalk is for France... barely qualify in the playoffs and then get Honduras, Ecuador and Switzerland. Platini's grin was about a mile wide when they drew that group.

[Sect 236]

Man City is my favorite club to follow, so I know all about Dzeko. Most teams in the World Cup have a couple world class players, they wouldn't be in if they didn't, but on a whole, Argentina is playing a lower quality of opponent.

Average FIFA ranking of Argentina's opponents is 34. France's is 24. Switzerland is currently ranked 8th, which is a bit inflated, but still, I think it's safe to say both groupings are the ideal ones to be in.

There's just no pleasing riccardobore, you miserable old git.

I dont want to hear about this Draw of Death because...
