I was hoping France would round out group G and get hammered. Not to be.

haha, the irony of North Korea being in the group of death!

Brazil, Portugal, Ivory Coast and N. Korea has to be the hardest group

What a group.

Won't be any football shown in N Korea so

Well group G is the group of death.

Was Charlize no comment remark aimed at France or just another one of her daft jokes?

Mossy Monk

Charlize Theron :eek:

Easy group for England. I think France will do well to win their group.

Nope, they wont show it live at all. They edit the replay to make N. Korea look the better team

Squarely aimed at France I'd imagine and good on her. Cut to the squirming Domenech.

I heard they wont be playing it if they don't win?

Mr.Nice Guy

England's group is very easy looking.

I'd say Group G is the group of death although the Germans have a tricky task as well.

France...well here's to seeing them get stuffed.

eyerer

shame that one of brazil, ivory coast and portugal wont get outta the group stage!
Charlize came across like an idiot.... just saying

Brazil V North Korea.....cricket score I reckon.

They could have put us in there!

So France with their dodgy handball goal play Uruguay with their dodgy offside goal.

The FAI should get on to the Costa Rican FA immediately and organise a protest friendly on the same day Know which I'd watch...

Dutch group tough enough too I reckon;

Group E
Holland
Denmark
Japan
Cameroon

Anyone watching it on SSN? They showed a feed of a gang of England fans watching the draw live.... once the last team was drawn, they started shouting "EASY EASY EASY...":mad: Usual overhyping of the teams chances

Hope they are beat:mad:

Put us in where France are and the reaction would be similar

Mr.Nice Guy

Hmm Lineker just said England could possibly meet France in the quarter-finals. Interesting.

Bring on the World Cup fantasy football game.

God that draw was exhausting to watch!

No matter what group we got we wouldn't be so arrogant like that!

Has anyone actually seen the goals from that game. I have and there wasn't a hint of offside in them. I don't know what Blatter was on about there

We did worse in 2006 and 2008.
I consider this an easy one so we probably will go out after round 1

Chucky the tree

Group D is another very hard one to call.

USA and Slovenia are well capable of beating them.

Spain got the easiest group along with France imo.

the highlights will show them play valiently before just losing every game to a Thierry Henry handball, regardless who they're playing.

Of course,any team can beat any other on any given day,it's football after all.
Capello would have snapped the hand off whoever offered that group to him before the draw though and rightfully so,it could have been an awful lot worse.

England will stroll out of that group imo.

Lads , forget about France they are going fecking nowhere , if they get out of the group just think of any of the teams they could meet , no chance.
Don't let them ruin what I think will be a great world cup, a world cup that I think has never been more evenly spread , especially with the African nations finally looking like they have their act together. Surprises galore , if you ask me

Even further into the tournament it's looking good for England. Logic would suggest a match against Ghana/Australia in the 2nd round and then in the quarters a match against the team 1st in group A (France?) or 2nd in group B (any of Nigeria/Greece/S.Korea). Again very winnable.
