World Cup Draw

[68Wooley]

England and USA in the same group. If I was having any doubts about the USA being my team in South Africa, they're gone now. Roll on June 12th.

In the other groups, Brazil v Portugal should be a good un.

Go USA.

Good group for England. I think Algeria can cause a upset to the unwary. With luck the grouping of England with the US should bring in more viewers and future fans for this, the world's most popular sport.

3 Lions.

I read on ESPN this is a dream draw for the us and england.

Also an interesting tidbit, last time us and england played was 1950 and US upset england with 1-0 win.

Last time they played them in the World Cup maybe. They've met 10 times in total with England scoring 38 goals in the process. The last time they met was at Wembly, May last year. England won 2-0.

Very Winnable for the US.  England has the stars but USA has the style to win or at least draw.  It is Algeria that may give the US problems.  Traditionally, US been weak against African Teams.

England don't usually choke until the semi's, it'll be a coin toss come second in group C

I    when motty said "Algeria yes,  they have 2 portsmouth players"    FEAR them    

Belhadj to be sent off and penalty given  i'll stick money on it!

England will finish top of the group for sure.   I look forward to the USA game and hopefully we can put a thrashing on them.  Davey?

England & USA played a "friendly" in may  2008

England 2 USA 0

Group G should have some interesting games

In that group? No doubt...will they win it?...no

The world cup is Brazil's, Italy's or Germany's to lose. The trick is to get to the second round, then going for broke if the yanks make it - there are always upsets to be had

Well, whoever get's 2nd place in the group will probably meet with Germany in the round of 16.  I reluctantly pick England 1st.

US is capable of getting 1st as well as being capable of having a disasterous 1st round.
