GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ World Cup Draw
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 4 2009, 12:11 PM
Who is awaiting the Football World Cup draw today in approximately 6 hours? I can't wait. Who do you hope you get ibn your group. I am in England and luckily we are seeded so I hope we get Slovenia, Algeria and New Zealand or something similar. I don't in any way want Ivory Coast, France, Portugal or United States in our group.
Who will be watching the World Cup. England goes football crazy throughout the World Cup and it's always great fun. Until we lose lol

Finally a world cup without Sweden......
This might even be fun to watch

England missed the last European Championship so hopefully we can perform well in the World Cup

I have my preference for Serbia! Most people would like us to have easy group something like South Africa (we beat them 3-0 in friendly recently) New Zealand (they lost to North Korea and we beat North Korea in friendly 1-0 less than a month ago) and finally Chile who are easier opponents then Ivory Coast (we lost to them in world cup in Germany and in Olympic games).
My preference would be one decently strong team from 1st pot : Germany or Italy for example
From 2nd pot I would go with everybody but USA and Mexico (would like to meet them in best of 16)
And from 3rd pot I would like anybody but Ivory Coast (Drogba is crazy!).
I think Serbia can definitely pass the group as long as we don't get Brazil and Ivory Coast

I think Serbia are a lot stronger than they have ever been and can see them passing through the group stage but I agree I think most teams however strong don't want to be drawn with Ivory Coast. Fortunately can't be drawn against Brazil, Germany or Italy.

My humble team of Colombia didn't get through...I'm not a big fan of football though...World cup is a big event though...sniff

I'm in Holland, I'm hoping for Portugal in our poule.
I've never seen Holland beat them, so that would be nice
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 4 2009, 01:48 PM
Yep, looking forward to see the opponents for the Netherlands...! if it aint dutch, it aint much...
Posted by: Lester Dec 4 2009, 03:27 PM
...THat's a phrase they use a lot on Hawaii, because a Dutch ship helped came to fight with them on pearl harbor.
Another one: .... and as a finishing touch, God created the Dutch!

We did a very bad performance but finally Argentina get into the world cup! The team played very bad but I'm very excited to see them at the world cup! Our coach is Diego Maradona! The best player of all times.. (from my point of view!). Can't wait!
Posted by: Chris Evans Dec 4 2009, 03:49 PM
yep, he was pretty "handy" in his day
looking forward to the draw! just glad England made it this time!

Germany! Germany! Germany! yeah, im not a big fan, but worldcup is really funny every time. The most i like is when Germany loose and have to go and everybody is crying!
I like Holland much more then my own Country, because Germany playes so boring football...
I hope we get Italy, Brasil and France in our group!

I remember the Italia 90 final match! We had to go crying and you won the cup!

Think I'll check it out, looks like I'm not the only Dutch guy here who's going be doing that.
Posted by: MirkoSchmidt Dec 4 2009, 04:30 PM
lol, i read that in wikipedia:
"Die ersatzgeschwächte Mannschaft hatte im ganzen Spiel keine einzige Torchance."
in English: The weak team (YOUR team
) didnt have any score chance in the hole game! that must be really a reason to cry!
Sadly i was 6 years old, so i cant remember that game!

We had been a weak team in the whole cup!

Last year we beat France, Italy and some other country, all with scores like 3-1, and then we lost the first post-group match, against Russia xD
Posted by: Gerardo Siere Dec 4 2009, 05:23 PM
Hopefully those guys from Brasil wont get such an easy group as in the last.....20 WCups? They deserve some France and some Ivory Coast.

I'm from Portugal, I'm in England. I would like to see Portugal be in the same as England, Holand and Germany. England to get beaten 3 times in a row, Holand the same way and Germany for revenge. Although I would like to see that, Portugal is weak atm, the coach is an idiot so we will loose all our respect.
Posted by: MirkoSchmidt Dec 4 2009, 07:54 PM
yeah, but NL played the most interesting football in my opinion! i really enoys looking a game from them! and they are the nicest guys. they are not so arrogant like the german millionairs!
Posted by: Emir Hot Dec 4 2009, 08:25 PM
Croatia and Bosnia didn't qualify so I don't really have my favorite team for the world cup. Maybe Serbia because they are neighbours but I don't think they can get too far. Sorry Pedja

A wise man once said something like "Soccer is 22 players, a ball, and in the end the Germans win"
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 4 2009, 10:09 PM
Good group for England. Slovenia and Algeria really aren't too strong and USA will be a tough one but USA and England will both get through I'd imagine. Ivory Coast in Brazil group should be awesome with Portugal as well.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Dec 4 2009, 10:13 PM
If we beat Ghana in the first match we can easily qualify. Draw with Germany and then win against Australia and we are off to quarters with 7 points
Posted by: kaznie_NL Dec 4 2009, 10:22 PM
Becaue the score keeps at 0-0, untill the last few seconds before the end signal, when Germany scores....whaha, it's a classic
It happened to the us (Dutch) in a World Cup final xD
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 4 2009, 10:22 PM
It's a tough group that. I can see Serbia going through and facing England
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Dec 4 2009, 10:41 PM
Thats something I am hoping for but we would love to meet USA and beat them by 3-0 or something
