Title: Official World Cup Draw Thread
Post by: FF on November 17, 2005, 10:02:04 AM
Flex, Tallman... I am asking that you make this thread ah sticky... because I know there will be nuff questions and speculation... so men could ask questions and get dey answers right here:

The World Cup Draw will be conducted on December 9th in Lepzieg, Germany.
ESPN 2 will televise the draw live from 3pm EST
Univision and Telemundo's coverage will begin at 2pm EST

Germany will be the first seed in A1... Brazil will be in F1

63.67 Brazil
48.83 Spain
47.83 Germany
47.33 Mexico
46.33 Argentina
45.83 England
45.83 Italy
44.67 France

It is possible that FIFA could change the formula or alter it, but because the last three world cups used this formula, it is a good projection of which teams will be seeded.

The formula used can be found here on Big Soccer
http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6460526&postcount=3

There WILL be 4 pots

Pot A WILL be the 8 seeded teams

Pot B WILL be the remaining (2) Conmebol teams, 5 Africa and Australia

Pot C WILL be the remaining (9) European teams... Serbia being the lowest ranked team will be separated and drawn last

Pot D WILL be the remaining (3) Concacaf and (4) Asia

Germany WILL be in Group A with games played in Munich, Berlin and Dortmund (largest stadiums)!
Brazil WILL be based in Group F as games will also be played in Munich, Berlin and Dortmund


One team from each pot to a group.. with the following rules.

No more than one team per confederation in each group with the exception of UEFA which may have no more than two!

These are the basic rules! So for example Trinidad cannot get drawn with France and Germany as they will be in the same pot and cannot get drawn against each other. We may not be drawn with an Asian team

Here is a NEW mock draw based on the above rules

Group A: Germany, Netherlands, Paraguay, Costa Rica
Group B: Spain, South Korea, Switzerland, Angola
Group C: Italy, Ivory Coast, Croatia, Trinidad & Tobago
Group D: Mexico, Ecuador, Iran, Ukraine
Group E: France, Sweden, Japan, Australia
Group F: Brazil, Togo, Serbia & Montenegro, Portugal
Group G: Argentina, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Poland
Group H: England, Ghana, Czech Republic, USA


Any questions and or errors noted please post away!!

I believe Whitley could out play Essien on a good day, Dog could more than handle Drogba in the air and Stern could break Toure back which might be the easiest matchup out of the three.

 Teflon Don ...I agree with you....It is an absolute shame that Aurtis Whitley was not given a fair opportunity under Coach Bertille St. Clair...The man is really class...I saying that long time...I wanted to know why some of the local men were getting left-out...But the thing is that we have good talent in T&T and they are never given the opportunity...Plenty of them try to go to a US school so that they could eventually enter the draft for MLS...I don't blame them because they could get a degree and eventually a good job but that doesn't hide the fact that alot of our Talent are wasted !!!


For the mock group that we in...That look like a Group of Death ;D ;D ....All i know is that if we prepare oursleves in Quality Friendlies then We will surprise plenty teams in the WOrld CUP .....GO T&T

Are you sure that FIFA will use this seeding formula?
No. However, the last world cup this was the specific formula used. World cups '98 and '94 used a formula extremely similar--possibly identical, but the details of those formulas were never spelled out as specifically as the one used in '02. It is possible that FIFA could change the formula or alter it, but because the last three world cups used this formula, it is a good projection of which teams will be seeded.

well I go answer my own question...I feel sepp blatter grandson who in primary school come up with that formula.   Imagine equal weight to world cup 16yrs ago, to now.  lewwe lodge protests...too much europe!

Bounty... actually they taking WC's 02, 98, and 94... and if you look at the formula it is weighted so that the most recent World Cup carries more weight....

Pot C MAY likely be the remaining (2) Conmebol teams, 4 Asia and Australia

Pot D MAY likely be the remaining (3) Concacaf and (5) Africa



Fifa may lump 3 Concacaf with 4 Asia and Australia as an alternative!



No more than one team per confederation in each group with the exception of UEFA which may have no more than two!

i studying the blue/red rules. i think the green rule good enough. it seem like they could take the remaining 16 teams and spread them at random over the groups as long as they follow the green rule. but the blue/red rule ensures that one confederation can avoid getting drawn with another confederation.

in the blue situation, CONCACAF teams avoiding African teams

in the red situation, CONMEBOL and the extra UEFA teams avoiding the African teams.

i could see the europeans and south americans pushing for the red situation - dem fraid the African teams 2 bad!

Is that second European team that will be the wild card for us because the way these things work we will end up with holland and australia just to have the whole dutch connection thing ! Otherwise we capable of beating any asian side, any african side and paraguay and ecuador...especially with Leo having 6mths to plan for they ass.

Top Seed

When the organising commission for next year’s World Cup meets on the 6th of December they’ll have to decide which nations are the group top seeds – and hence can’t be drawn together in the following Friday’s draw to determine the groups that’ll kick off the German cup.

If the current FIFA practise is adhered to, Mexico is slated to join Brazil (reining Champions), Germany (host country), Spain, Argentina, England, Italy and France as the nations that will automatically be separated to head each of the groups.

We already know that the hosts are part of Group A whereas the five-time winners and current holders Brazil will be the highlight in Group F. With the much-criticised FIFA coefficients determining the ‘elite’, Holland, Portugal and Sweden – amongst others – are seen as second-string nations in the draw.

World Cup draw media frenzy (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/051118/1/5agv.html)

Media interest is intense. More than 150 television and radio stations have bought the rights to broadcast the Final Draw for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyâ„¢ and a global audience of 320 million is expected to tune in.
There will be 120 commentary positions and 850 national and international television and radio journalists from 55 countries reporting live, via delayed telecast or on individual sections of the event. Added to this will be 800 newspaper reporters and photographers, 600 of them from abroad.

A media 'extravaganza'
The centrepiece of the gala will of course be the Final Draw which is organised by FIFA Communications Director Markus Siegler. It will see the 32 teams draw into eight groups of four. To conduct the draw, FIFA has nominated at least one star player from each of the footballing continents as ambassadors for their confederations. German TV personality Reinhold Beckmann and supermodel Heidi Klum will present the 90-minute draw ceremony, which will be broadcast worldwide from 8:30pm. (p> The Final Draw ceremony will be part of an international gala. The top musical act of the evening is Colombian rock star and 12-time Latin Grammy Award winner Juanes, whose summer hit La Camisa Negra brought him world-wide success and made him the number one male artist on the Latino music scene. Host country Germany will be providing a short film by internationally renowned director and huge football fan Wolfgang Becker (of Goodbye Lenin fame), which will combine football fanaticism with the growing anticipation ahead of the FIFA World Cupâ„¢. Classics and magic
Exciting clips from classic FIFA World Cup matches will also be featured, while Hans Klok, the "fastest magician in the world", will dazzle the public with a quick-fire illusion show using the symbols of the FIFA World Cup. The "Young German Philharmonic", 84 of the country's most talented music students, will be performing their own selected orchestral arrangements of works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Richard Strauss.

The biggest names from politics and sport
Federal President Horst Kohler will be present as a high-level representative of German politics, while also in attendance will be Chancellor designate Angela Merkel, former SPD party chairman Franz Muntefering, the Prime Minister of Saxony Georg Milbradt and the Governing Mayor of Berlin Klaus Wowereit.

All 32 participating national team coaches should be there, including Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany), Sven-Goran Eriksson (England), Marco van Basten (Netherlands), Marcello Lippi (Italy), Zico (Japan), Oleg Blochin (Ukraine) and Luiz Felipe Scolari (Portugal).

The German football family will be represented by, among others, DFB President Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder, Executive DFB President Dr Theo Zwanziger, DFL President Werner Hackmann and the majority of the Lord Mayors of the FIFA World Cup host cities.

I've got to agree with this man; love what you're saying.  also the guy who wants Brazil.
We (Scotland) got Brazil in the first game of France 98, when the whole world was talking about the unstoppable Ronaldo and Rivaldo etc.  We're not a big name in football either, but have so much pride we love occasions like that.  It was a great game, and with the huge effort from the Scottish players we almost managed a draw.  Our defender scored an unlucky own goal to give them a 2-1 win.  I'd be really happy for you all to have an occasion like that, where you can show your nation to the world, and show how you have arrived on the big stage!

Ideally:

Brazil
USA
T&T

It will be a up-hill battle whatever teams are drawn in your group. For the moment, I'd stop concentrating on the second rounds, and just try to focus on getting a result in each and every game. First try to avoid conceding, and then try to score at least once each time you take the field. The emphasis for teams such as T&T in teh world cup should be defense, an dnot attack.  You have to start walking before you can sprint. Switzerland weak? They just eliminated Turkey! And teh Aussies are better than they seem!

Switerland ain't no weak side dred. I see them play against turkey twice. If any thing week about them it might be there defense. Australia alright and they have a good coach. They will both be tough opponents. With hard work and alot of improvement trinidad can beat them side. If we play the way we play against Bahrain team like Swiss will beat us. We have 7 months to improve the team and i believe if the team work real hard, TnT could get favourable result in germany. We might even upset a top seed team just like sengal and cameroon did in pasts world cups.

   Aye all yuh, like I pulling a Rasajoy, but I had a dream last night. We were in a group that consisted of England, Sweden, and Romania. YES I know that Romania are not in the WC but my subconscious mind probably still remembering them since I named my dog "Lacatus" from the 1990 Romanian WC star. Also I guess my sub-conscious mind remembered that England and Sweden were in the same group in 2002 (yeah when meh team Argentina shit dong themselves and failed to beat flicking Sweden to qualify!!!)

I dreamt that we played our first game and were leading 2-0 to Romania after the first half. Sigh then I woke up!!

Ok so all yuh doh get mad seeing that we were leading a team who are NOT in the World Cup.  :-\ Maybe Romania could be substituted to mean Poland or Hungary?

WC: Seedings always the key to the draw

 
 The euphoria felt by the last few teams to qualify for the World Cup, such as Trinidad and Tobago, Australia and Angola, is tempered by the reality of a draw that could pit them in the first round against Brazil, Germany or Argentina.

The resignation of soccer's lesser lights is matched by the anxiety of the sport's second- and third-tier teams, whose ability to prove their worthiness can be enhanced or devastated depending on where they're placed.

The key to every World Cup draw is the seedings, the four bowls or "pots" FIFA divides the teams into, ostensibly seeking - in the name of fairness and balance - to avoid having one or two groups with several title contenders and others with none.

FIFA contends the seedings are based on past performance, but because the World Cup Organizing Committee determines the seedings, more than an eyebrow is raised when the final list is announced.

This year could provide even more fodder for conspiracy theorists. FIFA president Sepp Blatter has suggested the much-maligned FIFA rankings and qualifying performances may be used to help determine seedings.

Taking the last three World Cups and weighing the results so that 2002 is worth half, 1998 is worth a third and 1994 is worth a sixth, Brazil clearly sits atop the 32 teams. It won the 1994 and 2002 titles, and is the indisputable leader of the No. 1 seeds.

The other seven seeds, in order, are Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, South Korea and Argentina.

Mexico and the Netherlands are tied atop the second eight, followed by England, Sweden, the United States, Paraguay, Japan and Serbia-Montenegro (formerly Yugoslavia). Costa Rica leads the next eight, followed by Ecuador, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Tunisia and Switzerland.

The remaining teams are gathered in a final seeding, six because they've never played in a World Cup (Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine) and two because they've haven't earned their invite to the tournament in quite a while (Australia, 1974, and the Czech Republic, 1990).

But this is where FIFA is likely to wield its influence and "tweak" the seedings.

Germany is the third-lowest ranked team among the top seeds (16th), but as host already is guaranteed the top spot in Group A.

South Korea may have reached the semifinals at home in 2002, but it didn't win a game in the previous two World Cups and is ranked 29th, the worst of any team in the top group. It also had the lowest point total among Asia's four automatic qualifiers.

Conversely, the Netherlands finished fourth in 1998 and is ranked third by FIFA. The Dutch also finished with the most qualifying points of any team in Europe (32) and are one of only five teams on the continent to go through qualifying undefeated (10-0-2).

Swapping South Korea and the Dutch would conform to FIFA's world view. The only possible hitch: FIFA vice president Chung Mong Joon is on both the World Cup and FIFA executive committees, and he's South Korean.

Croatia is ranked 20th and, other than South Korea, is the second-lowest ranked team in the top group. But the next three candidates for promotion are Mexico, England and Sweden.

Europeans on the World Cup committee - there are 13 among the 31 members, including the chairman - are unlikely to approve moving up the Mexicans. And replacing one European team with another by passing two CONCACAF teams with higher rankings (Mexico at No. 7 and the United States at No. 8) may not be worth the fight.

More likely is elevating the second-ranked Czechs out of the last pot and the 10th-ranked Portuguese out of the third pot into the second seeds. Even though the Czechs had to beat Norway in a playoff to get to the World Cup, leaving them in the last group would be unfair to them and the rest of the field.

Similarly, Portugal finished second to the Greeks at last year's European Championship and had the second-highest points total among European qualifiers with a 9-0-3 record.

If the Czechs and Portuguese are moved up, that would displace two teams from the second pot. The three most likely candidates are Paraguay, Japan and Serbia.

Serbia has the worst record of anybody among the second seeds and is ranked 47th. Paraguay is ranked 30th, 15 places below Japan. Both easily could be dropped into the third tier, which would leave one team too many in the third seeds.

The bottom three there are Iran, Tunisia and Switzerland.

MORE WC QUALIFYING!



Iran is ranked 19th and qualified easily back in June. Tunisia is the only African team not among the last group of seeds, and trying to drop it likely would resurrect accusations of racism last loudly heard after Germany won the vote over South Africa to host World Cup 2006.

That leaves Switzerland, which hasn't played in a World Cup since 1994, and is the lowest-ranked side not in the last group already. Down it goes.

The only other potential land mine among the lowest group is Ukraine. It may have been the first team from Europe to qualify, but it has never played in a World Cup and is ranked 40th. The Ivory Coast is right behind it at No. 41.

But if those hurdles are cleared, the seedings are reset as follows:

- Brazil, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Argentina and the Netherlands in Pot 1.

- South Korea, Mexico, England, Sweden, the United States, Japan, Czech Republic and Portugal in Pot 2.

- Paraguay, Serbia-Montenegro, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Tunisia in Pot 3.

- Switzerland, Angola, Ivory Coast, Togo, Ghana, Ukraine, Trinidad and Australia in Pot 4.

After that, it's a matter of separating Germany into Group A, then picking blindly until the groups are filled. FIFA's current rules would prohibit one team from facing off against another from its region, except Europe.

So the mock draw looks like this:

Group A: Germany, South Korea, Poland, Ivory Coast.

Group B: Italy, England, Saudi Arabia, Australia.

Group C: Argentina, Portugal, Serbia-Montenegro, Togo.

Group D: Spain, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Trinidad.

Group E: Brazil, Japan, Costa Rica, Switzerland.

Group F: France, United States, Iran, Angola.

Group G: Netherlands, Sweden, Paraguay, Ghana.

Group H: Croatia, Mexico, Tunisia, Ukraine.

At first glance, there doesn't appear to be any overbalanced group, although Brazil seems to have received a relatively easy first round compared to Argentina. Group H could be troublesome for either European side or Mexico, and Germany doesn't have any walkover, either.

Regardless, the real draw likely will provide surprises - and theories of how it was rigged.

USA deserve seed consideration, says Arena
30 November 2005

Photo Gallery
Setting the pace in CONCACAF qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyâ„¢, an unprecedented feat for a US team, is enough to merit seeding consideration for the global football showdown, US coach Bruce Arena said on Tuesday.

"If a CONCACAF team has the possibility of being a seeded team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup final draw, the US has done what is necessary in the region to deserve it," Arena said.

Arena said 12 to 14 European-based players are being considered for the American squad at next year's tournament, with US teen sensation Freddy Adu of Major League Soccer's DC United set to get a look at training camp in January. In terms of favorites, Arena made it clear that in his mind only one nation has any reason to talk about claiming the title at this stage.

"The only country in the world that I think can ever have high aspirations and say, 'We want to win the World Cup' is Brazil," Arena said. "Everybody else hopes they get a good draw and hopes they play well and get some breaks."

The draw will be determined on 9 December in Leipzig, Germany. The US team, which qualified ahead of Mexico in this year's regional round-robin matches, has announced it will be based in Hamburg next year.

It would be bizzare if we were placed in that group ... only because I remember in Italia '90, the US were pitted against The Czechs in their first game and lost comprehensively ... 5-0 I believe the margin to be. I remember running thru my house every time the Czechs scored ... but still feeling bitter - saying that it should have been TT in the place of the US at those games.

Needless to say that even though all the hype goes to Spain and the Czechs in that group ... we have the chance to be the biggest upset team and shock either of them.

Xavi and Raul are currently injured, and Casillas (??RMs Keeper is a string up man) ... so who knows how they'll be in 6 months.

I was damn flicking happy that they get mash up for spite for beating us, I was real happy the get it bad from the Checks, and since then and going forth I will always dislike them, at least until their public pay more respect to football and start calling it football and actually show an interest in it, not like the shitty ass "American Football" they have, them is wussies, real men play RUGBY.

Actually there is alot of interest in the game itself in the US (regardless of what they want to call it). I suspect that within ten years, the USA will have more people playing soccer/football than most Europen countries. Itsbeen 16 years since 1990...they have come a long way .... they will go even farther in the next 10. They will be real contenders for the title one day!

They have confirmed Germany as A1... but not Brazil as F1
The remaining seven seeds will be announced on wednesday....

And they have confirmed the geographical grouping of the pots

"The 24 remaining teams will then be assigned to Pots 2, 3 and 4 in such a way as to achieve the best possible geographical distribution between the groups"

I believe the Draw will be live on ESPN 2 at 3pm EST.... on Friday Dec 9th...

After many months' hard slog in pursuit of a place at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyâ„¢, the coaches of the 32 qualified countries will be in attendance at the Leipzig Exhibition Centre on Friday 9 December for the Final Draw. And by the end of proceedings, they will know what, and who, to expect in the first round of football's most prestigious event.

This highly colourful evening, hosted by model Heidi Klum and television presenter Reinhold Beckmann, will be nothing short of a celebration of football. The high point of the night will be preceded by a feast of entertainment, including musical performances by Colombian singer Juanes and the German Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, plus a show by magician Hans Klok that is sure to enchant young and old alike. The master of ceremonies for the draw itself will be FIFA Director of Communications Markus Siegler.

Germany in Group A
To ensure the draw process is clearly understood, a few key points should be clarified. First, it is worth bearing in mind that – wherever possible – no two teams from the same continental zone can be drawn in the same group. The sole exception to this rule is the presence of a maximum of two teams from the European Zone in the same group, due to the high number of European qualifiers (14 including the German hosts).

As regards allocation to the different pots, there will be eight seeded teams, among them Germany, who have already been assigned to Group A. The seven other seeds will be determined on 6 December by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup, on the basis of various criteria such as the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. The eight chosen seeds will be placed in Pot 1, and drawn as the first teams in Groups A to H, from left to right. As mentioned above, it has already been decided that Germany will play in Group A.

The 24 remaining teams will then be assigned to Pots 2, 3 and 4 in such a way as to achieve the best possible geographical distribution between the groups. As soon as a team is drawn, another draw will be made to allocate this team its place in a group. Finally, so as to maintain the suspense to the end and most importantly, protect the integrity of the draw process, the order in which the pots will be drawn may be varied.

So make a date for Friday 9 December 2005 at 20:15 (local time) to follow the Final Draw for the 2006 FIFA World Cup live on FIFAworldcup.com. As well as an application enabling you to follow the draw live, there will also be commentaries and explanations, plus live reaction from the personalities present.

In addition, a Fan Chat forum will be up and running from the afternoon of 9 December, allowing you to converse with supporters from all over the globe. All of this will be available in seven different languages, as FIFAworldcup.com is launching in Italian, Korean and Portuguese.

Pool 2: Holland, United States, Sweden, Czech Republic, Croatia, Paraguay, South Korea, Japan
Pool 3: Portugal, Costa Rica, Iran, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Switzerland, Ecuador

Those pools are possible. When T&T is drawn they would put them in the first group that doesn't have USA, Mexico or CR (provided that those have already be drawn).

That is how they usually do it but I was under the impression that there would not be four seeded pots this time around.

Post by: freakazoid on December 05, 2005, 05:33:00 AM
ok so can som1 explain this 2 me seems like i misinterpreting somthing..........

There WILL be 4 pots

Pot A WILL be the 8 seeded teams

Pot B WILL be the remaining (9) European teams... the last remaining (9th) team to be drawn MAY be added to Pot C

Pot C MAY likely be the remaining (2) Conmebol teams, 4 Asia and Australia

Pot D MAY likely be the remaining (3) Concacaf and (5) Africa

Fifa may lump 3 Concacaf with 4 Asia and Australia as an alternative!

Germany WILL be in Group A with games played in Munich, Berlin and Dortmund (largest stadiums)!
Brazil is speculated to be based in Group F as games will also be played in Munich, Berlin and Dortmund


One team from each pot to a group.. with the following rules.

No more than one team per confederation in each group with the exception of UEFA which may have no more than two!

These are the basic rules! So for example Trinidad cannot get drawn with France and Germany as they will be in the same pot and cannot get drawn against each other. We may not be drawn with an African team if we are in the same pot as they are (this remains to be seen)

FIFA will announce the exact draw procedures on December 6th!

There is nothing to explain. Everybody is speculating. In the past FIFA has gone with 4 seeded pots this time they may not.

There will be some hard and fast rules though.

No group will have more than one team from Africa, Asia, SA or Concacaf

No group will have more than two teams from Europe. So each group will have at least one. The ninth non-seeded UEFA team will be paired with one of the SA seeds or Mexico.

So what exactly yuh misinterpreting?

Yuh soccernet link is broken..... but in any case... soccernet seedin is completely wrong as is Fox and a lot of other major news outlets...

Lets review...

The past two world cups- those with 32 teams- have done the seedings and the pots the same way. They used the formula posted earlier in the thread. They also distributed the remaining 24 teams by geography.

For this world cup, FIFA has not given any indication that things will be different. They have said explicitly that pots 2,3, and 4 are geography based. They haven't yet said that how they are gonna determine the #1 seeds but so far there's no reason to think they will change the formula. publications have easy access to said formula

Yet these publications have gone on to make up their own seeding procedures with no sources whatever as if they did not watch the last two or completely forgot about them

FIFA to announce seeds for World Cup finals
Mon Dec 5, 2005 5:58 PM IST

By Mike Collett

LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - FIFA's World Cup Organising Committee will decide on Tuesday the seedings for the 32 finalists involved in next year's tournament in Germany.

The only thing known for certain is that the hosts will be seeded in slot A1 in the match schedule and play the tournament's opening match in Munich on June 9, Dortmund on June 14 and Berlin on June 20.

Seven other countries will also be placed in the top pool and kept apart in the draw for the first round which takes place in Leipzig's Neue Messe exhibition centre.

Friday's draw will be broadcast live to around 150 countries in the world with an estimated record audience of around 320 million people expected to tune in.

FIFA have not confirmed how the seedings will be decided but hinted that the same method used in 2002 will be used again.

That involved taking the performances from the two previous World Cup finals, combined with an average position based on the FIFA world rankings from the past three years to establish a coefficient for each team.

On that basis, Brazil, Italy, France, Argentina, Spain, Mexico and England could all join Germany in the top group of seeds, with the Netherlands, the United States, Czech Republic, Croatia, South Korea, Japan and Paraguay in the second group.

TOUGHER ZONE

Ecuador, Switzerland, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Iran, Costa Rica and Portugal are contenders for Pool Three while Ukraine, Serbia & Montenegro, Ivory Coast, Australia, Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Togo and Angola -- the lowest ranked side in the competition with a FIFA ranking of 62nd in the world -- making up Pool Four.

The system, though, is a flawed one because the FIFA rankings unfairly reward countries like Mexico and the United States who win most of their matches against weaker regional opposition.

European nations like the Netherlands and Portugal are penalised because, from a far tougher qualifying zone, they have missed out on recent World Cups.

Lobbying for position has already started with the likes of U.S. coach Bruce Arena and Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, who won the World Cup with his native Brazil in 2002, saying their teams deserve to be among the top seeds.

The Organising Committee will have the final say although FIFA president Sepp Blatter hinted recently that there could be some surprises in the seedings when he said: "I think the national teams of Holland and England have reason to be worried. Even Italy might not get a place."

Friday's draw will be in stark contrast to the one made for the 1974 finals when the World Cup was held in West Germany.

Then, 200 guests were present in Hessian radio's main broadcast studio in Frankfurt to see 16 teams placed in four groups in a short ceremony that lasted about 15 minutes.

On Friday around 3,700 people including 1,000 media will be in the auditorium at the huge trade fair hall which is being transformed into a football stadium for the occasion.

Adidas will be unveiling the official World Cup match ball in a ceremony presented by talkshow host and sports journalist Reinhold Beckmann and assisted by German model Heidi Klum.

Next year's finals begin on June 9 and end on July 9 with the final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

I don't know about this wishing for Brazil thing, I too was initially hoping for Brazil or England. However after looking at things, looking at the preparation that is being put into place, I am hoping for a so-called 'easy' group. The fete thing will be nice with Brazil but I am hoping for us to progress to the 2nd round. Then we can meet Brazil and whatever other heavy weights.

Title: Pot Speculation from Bild
Post by: FF on December 05, 2005, 01:42:16 PM
According to Bild (German newspaper)

These will be the pots

Group A: Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Spain, France, England, Mexico

Group B: Netherlands, Czech, Switzerland, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Sweden, Portugal, Poland

Group C: Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Togo, Tunisia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Australia

Group D: South Korea, Japan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, USA, Costa Rica, T&T

They have grouped Concacaf with Asia to create a pot of 7..... Therefore the 9th unseeded Euro team must go here....

The apparent reasoning behind this is to avoid a Super Group of Death such as Brazil, Holland, Czech, USA...

In this way it is impossible for the US and a lesser extent Korea and/or Japan to be drawn with two strong Euros and Brazil/Argentina....
I think this makes sense... so we will find out tomorrow if this is indeed the case.....

This is great for TnT because we will also be protected from the Super Group of Death by Concacaf association  ;D

Élite eight
The host nation have been joined by fellow European nations Spain, England, Italy and France in the top eight seeds, along with holders Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. These were determined by using various criteria, including the FIFA world rankings and performance at recent finals.

Evening draw
Germany's presence among the top seeds was already confirmed and they will be placed in Group A when the draw takes place at 20.15CET. The 24 remaining teams will be allocated to pots 2, 3 and 4 in order to achieve the best possible geographical distribution between the groups.

Dutch and USA unseeded for World Cup draw

England have been named as one of the seeds for next summer's World Cup finals in Germany.

World Cup organisers announced in Leipzig today that Sven-Goran Eriksson's side will be one of the eight top teams who will be kept apart for the group stage of the tournament.


The rest of the teams will be drawn on a geographical basis so that, for example, two African sides are not in the same group.

Hosts Germany, holders Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Spain and France are also seeded meaning England will avoid playing any of those heavyweights in the group stage of the competition.

England actually came out second behind Brazil in the system used by FIFA to determine the seedings.

The system looked at teams' record in the 2002 and 1998 finals and their world ranking over the last three years.

The USA and Holland have both just missed out on being seeded.

Under the seedings system Brazil have 64 points followed by England (51), Spain (50), Germany (48), Mexico (47), France (46), Argentina (44) and Italy (44). The USA had 43 points and Holland 38.

FIFA's World Cup Organising Committee announced the following four groups of seedings for next year's finals on Tuesday:

Pool One: Germany (hosts), Brazil (champions), Italy, France, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, England

Pool Two: Australia, Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Tunisia, Ecuador, Paraguay

Pool Three: Croatia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine

Pool Four: Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, United States

Special pot: Serbia & Montenegro

The full draw for the finals takes place in Leipzig on Friday. The finals start on June 9 and end on July 9, 2006.

Not sure if this was posted already...

England have been named as one of the seeds for next summer's World Cup finals in Germany.

World Cup organisers announced in Leipzig on Monday that Sven-Goran Eriksson's side will be one of the eight top teams who will be kept apart for the group stage of the tournament.

The rest of the teams will be drawn on a geographical basis so that, for example, two African sides are not in the same group.

Hosts Germany, holders Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Spain and France are also seeded meaning England will avoid playing any of those heavyweights in the group stage of the competition.

England actually came out second behind Brazil in the system used by FIFA to determine the seedings.

The system looked at teams' record in the 2002 and 1998 finals and their world ranking over the last three years.

The USA and Holland have both just missed out on being seeded.

Under the new seeding system, performances at the 2002 World Cup were given twice as much weight as at 1998, and the only surprise was that FIFA decided against using performances at the 1994 finals.

That greatly helped England who did not qualify for 1994 but made the quarter-finals in Japan and Korea for years ago.

World Cup organising committee official Jim Brown told a news conference: "We decided just to use the past two World Cups because they are the only ones that have had 32 teams participating. In 1994, there were only 24 teams so using just the last two tournaments seemed to make sense."

Germany will be in Group A and Brazil in Group F, but the other sides will not know their groups until the actual draw on Friday.

Brown added: "Those two teams have been allocated to those groups as hosts and holders because we can guarantee them the larger facilities and the larger stadiums in the competition."

Friday's draw will work in the following way:

The eight seeded teams will be drawn into eight different groups. Germany have already been allocated Group A and Brazil Group F.

Eight unseeded European sides will be drawn into the eight different groups.

The lowest-ranked European side Serbia and Montenegro will be allocated to one of the groups containing either Brazil, Argentina or Mexico to ensure there is no more than two European sides in any group.

A pot of the five African countries, Australia and the two remaining South American sides drawn into eight different groups.

A pot containing the four Asian countries, the USA, Costa Rica and Trinidad drawn into seven different groups.

FIFA confirmed the 23-man squads for the World Cup must be submitted by May 15 and no player will be allowed to appear for their clubs afterwards.

The only exception is the Champions League final on May 17. It means World Cup players will not be allowed to take part in the Football League play-off matches if their clubs are involved in those games after May 15.

FIFA general secretary Urs Linsi said: "We do not want burntout players coming to the World Cup. They have to have sufficient time to recover and to prepare with their national team.

"The 23 players on the list will not be available for any other competition after May 15, apart from the Champions League final on May 17."

Under the seedings system Brazil have 64 points followed by England (51), Spain (50), Germany (48), Mexico (47), France (46), Argentina (44) and Italy (44). The USA had 43 points and Holland 38.


God smiled on us thus far, may he smile on us again come Friday.

Post by: g on December 06, 2005, 09:58:31 AM
LEIPZIG, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Hosts Germany and defending champions Brazil were named among the top eight seeds for the World Cup finals as expected on Tuesday, along with England, Spain, Mexico, France, Argentina and Italy.

FIFA decided the rest of the draw, which takes place on Friday, would group teams in pots according to their geographical locations rather than their current world ranking or previous World Cup performances. The USA and Holland have both just missed out on being seeded.

The second pot will contain Australia, the five African finalists: Ghana, Ivory Coast, Tunisia, Angola and Togo, plus the two lower ranked South American teams Ecuador and Paraguay.

The third pot will comprise eight European teams: Croatia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine.

The fourth pot will comprise four Asian teams: Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the three remaining from CONCACAF Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago and the United States.

A special pot will contain only Serbia & Montenegro, the lowest ranked European team, who will be placed in a group including either Brazil, Argentina or Mexico.

FIFA created the special pot so they could avoid having any groups with more than two European teams.

Jim Brown, FIFA's Director of Competitions explained: 'The seedings were based on FIFA rankings for the last three years and the last two World Cup finals.

'Germany will be seeded in slot A1 in the draw and Brazil in F1, and there were economic factors involved in this decision as those teams are guaranteed to play in larger stadiums.'

One team from each pot will be drawn into the eight groups in the first stage of the finals in Germany which run from June 9 to July 9.

The seedings system looked at teams' record in the 2002 and 1998 finals and their world ranking over the last three years.

Under the seedings system Brazil have 64 points followed by England (51), Spain (50), Germany (48), Mexico (47), France (46), Argentina (44) and Italy (44). The USA had 43 points and Holland 38.

Under the new seeding system, performances at the 2002 World Cup were given twice as much weight as at 1998, and the only surprise was that FIFA decided against using performances at the 1994 finals.

FIFA also confirmed the 23-man squads for the World Cup must be submitted by May 15 and no player will be allowed to appear for their clubs afterwards.

The only exception is the Champions League final on May 17. It means World Cup players will not be allowed to take part in the Football League play-off matches if their clubs are involved in those games after May 15.

FIFA general secretary Urs Linsi said: 'We do not want burnt-out players coming to the World Cup. They have to have sufficient time to recover and to prepare with their national team.

'The 23 players on the list will not be available for any other competition after May 15, apart from the Champions League final on May 17.'

Friday's draw will work in the following way:

The eight seeded teams will be drawn into eight different groups. Germany have already been allocated Group A and Brazil Group F.

Eight unseeded European sides will be drawn into the eight different groups.

The lowest-ranked European side Serbia and Montenegro will be allocated to one of the groups containing either Brazil, Argentina or Mexico to ensure there is no more than two European sides in any group.

A pot of the five African countries, Australia and the two remaining South American sides drawn into eight different groups.

A pot containing the four Asian countries, the USA, Costa Rica and Trinidad drawn into seven different groups.

The full draw for the finals takes place in Leipzig on Friday. The finals start on June 9 and end on July 9, 2006.

So Bild was right..... they group Africa with Australia and Conmebol

and Concacaf with Asia....

Serbia and Montenegro in a special pot but they ESSENTIALLY in Pot D... because no team from Pot D can be drawn with them

this was a surprise because I thought they woulda just bump the last drawn Euro team out instead of picking a specific team

So now Holland and Czech protected from being drawn against each other.... this is ah good move by FIFA

The number 1 seed that we stand the best chance against is England. Them men does underachieve and we accustomed to their football. the potential for a more technically gifted team to mash up up over ninety minutes is very real.

Germany also won't be a bad team to play against. I rather prepare for them than Brazil, Argentina, Italy or Spain.

From the pot three Angola or Togo are teams that we can beat.

From Europe Poland or Switzerland.

We don't want to end up in any group that has Holland or the Czech Republic.

England seeded for 2006 World Cup 
 
England have been placed among the top eight seeds for the 2006 World Cup.
Sven-Goran Eriksson's side are in a top pool of hosts Germany, holders Brazil as well as Argentina, France, Italy, Spain and Mexico.

England will now avoid meeting those countries in the group stages when the main draw for the tournament is made in Leipzig on Friday evening.

Under the seeding system used by Fifa, England came out second to Brazil and Italy narrowly beat the US into eighth.

Fifa's ranking co-efficient meant that performances at the 2002 World Cup, when England reached the quarter-finals, were given twice as much weight as at 1998.

They also took into account a country's world ranking over the last three years.

 SEEDINGS TABLE
Brazil 64
England 51
Spain 50
Germany 48
Mexico 47
France 46
Argentina 44
Italy 44

"It's excellent news," England coach Eriksson told the Football Association website.

"I think it's right too. We are one of the teams that have the potential to do very well in Germany and we have some of the best players in the world.

"Finishing top of our qualification group, with the second best record in the whole of Europe, was a big achievement and I'm sure that has played a part in this decision."

Serbia and Montenegro were the lowest placed European qualifier and have been placed in a special pot to stop three countries from the zone being in the same group.

For the draw on Friday, around 3,700 people will be present in the auditorium at the huge trade fair hall in Leipzig's Neue Messe exhibition centre.

It is being transformed into a football stadium for the occasion.

The World Cup finals in Germany begin on 9 June 2006 and the final takes place in Berlin on 9 July.

Title: US, Netherlands not seeded
Post by: Marcos on December 06, 2005, 12:38:36 PM
Updated: Dec. 6, 2005
Netherlands is surprise omissionAssociated Press


LEIPZIG, Germany -- The Netherlands was left out of the top seedings for Friday's World Cup draw and could end up in the same group as perennial rival Germany or defending champion Brazil.

The omission of the world's third-ranked team was the biggest surprise at Tuesday's announcement of the seedings for the 2006 tournament. Mexico and Spain were the only teams never to win the World Cup that were picked for the top eight, which also included host Germany, Brazil, England, France, Argentina and Italy.

The United States just missed being one of the top eight.

Germany and Brazil were automatically seeded for Friday's draw and will head groups A and F, allowing the powerhouses to play in Berlin, Munich and Dortmund, the three biggest stadiums.

Jim Brown, FIFA's director of competitions, said "economic factors" played a leading role in putting the defending champion and the host team at the biggest arenas.

England was happy to be among the seeded teams. In 2002, England was picked to play Argentina, Nigeria and Sweden in the first round.

"This is a big boost, but when the tournament starts we must show on the pitch why we have been seeded," England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson told the English federation Web site.

For Brazil, going for its sixth championship, first-round opponents matter little.

"I don't have any preference," Real Madrid defender Roberto Carlos said. "I have already participated in two World Cups and I did play against all teams. So, I don't know and I don't have any preference."

The Netherlands had been lobbying for a top seeding, but its non-qualification for the World Cup in 2002 damaged its chances. The Dutch lost to Brazil in the semifinals in a penalty shootout at France 1998.

Despite the lobbying, Dutch coach Marco van Basten expected his team to be omitted from the top eight.

"The Netherlands wasn't there at the last World Cup in 2002," he said in a statement. "So I think it's logical that we're not among the top seeds this time."

FIFA based its seedings on results at the last two World Cups and the world rankings of the past three years.

Based on that rule, Brazil topped the standings with 64 points, ahead of England with 51, Spain with 50 and Germany with 48. The fifth-ranked team was Mexico with 47, followed by France with 46. Argentina and Italy tied in seventh with 44 points.

The United States scored 43 points. The Dutch were well back with 38.

The Netherlands, a two-time World Cup runner-up, failed to make the seedings despite being third in the FIFA rankings behind Brazil and the Czech Republic.

Spain and Mexico have never reached the final at a World Cup. Spain, a perennial underachiever, qualified only through the European playoffs. Mexico was runner-up behind the United States in the North and Central America and Caribbean group. The Czechs failed to qualify for the previous three World Cups.

The draw also was set up to prevent teams from the same continent landing in the same group. Europe, with 14 of the 32 teams, is the exception. But no more than two European teams will be paired in the same group.

The field has four teams each from South America, Asia and the CONCACAF region, and five from Africa. Australia represents Oceania.

Under a complicated decision, Serbia-Montenegro will be in a special pot at Friday's draw and will be in a group with either Brazil, Argentina or Mexico to avoid the possibility of a group with three European teams.

FIFA said the World Cup winner will earn $18.75 million. Each team will be guaranteed at least $1.5 million per group game, assuring each team a minimum of at least $4.5 million.

I like our chances against pool 2 teams.
Pool 3 kinda iffy, depending on who we draw.
Pool 1 will be slight harder  ;D

Round of 16 will be phenomenal, we need to come second.
Somebody mention that England might be the best team to match up agasint. I feel so too.
I aint mind Mexico neither.

But we have to poison then other 2 pots.

Most likely we in for some good licks though.

Imagine Brazil, Ecuador and Holland, lord have mercy.
But the good thing is that we will always have a team in the group who we believe we may have a chance (in this case Ecuador).
Once we do the job and beat them, and somehow wuk some obeah and draw/get some favourable results - we on we way to the unchartered land of the sweet 16 and a date with a comfirmed cutass for sure.

are these pots correlated with the FIFA WC match schedule (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/schedule.html)?

according to this schedule, our first match would be against a team from pot C since we are in pot D.

this is a bad - pot C has strong teams and we have we slow starts. imagine we draw our first match against Czech or Holland ....

:nailbiting: :praying:

it looks like the order of the matches could be:

1st game: vs. pot C
2nd game: vs. pot B
3rd game: vs. pot A

yuh dig?

the way they referring to the teams in the match schedule is using letter-number codes: A1, E2, etc.. .

The letter is the group but I thought the number had to be the pot.

Even though they referring to the pots as A, B, C, D  it seem like these correspond to 1,2,3,4.

All of the teams in pot 4 (which might correspond to pot D) have matches with the teams in this order: 3,2,1.

e.g. B4 plays B3 then B2 then B1 but in different venues.

i thought germany was in group A and was playing their first match in Munich? According to the schedule, this could mean Germany is either "A1" or "A2". Anyone know if Germany's other matches are scheduled for Dortmund and Berlin?

but this is speculation still...
Title: Re: Official World Cup Draw Thread
Post by: FF on December 06, 2005, 03:13:36 PM
Ribbit .... alright here goes....


each group has a position number

for example
A1 - Germany
A2
A3
A4

This is done so games can be scheduled before the draw....

The eight seeds are guaranteed as position 1.... therefore Germany is A1 and Brazil is F1

The other positions are up for grabs.... when a team is drawn from a Pot
e.g Tnt from Pot D  ...There is a SEPARATE draw for position within the group...

So if TnT is drawn in Group A with Germany... They then draw to see whether we will be A2 A3 or A4....

This is done to add variety to game scheduling....

yuh dig?

LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) -- The United States came within a point Tuesday of being one of the seeded teams for next year's World Cup.

Under the draw procedure approved by the FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee, the U.S. team wound up just behind Argentina and Italy.

U.S. coach Bruce Arena wasn't surprised to miss out.

"I thought all along the draw is going to be difficult. The field is extremely strong," he said. "I think it's considerably stronger than what we saw in 2002."

The Americans can't meet a team from Asia in the first round of next year's tournament in Germany. There's a good chance they will get two European opponents and one from South America or Africa.

While the draws for the 1998 and 2002 World Cups took into account performance in the three previous tournaments along with FIFA's rankings, the formula was changed slightly for Friday's draw and was based on the prior two World Cups and the rankings.

Defending champion Brazil was first in the new formula with 64 points, followed by England (51), Spain (50), Germany (48), Mexico (47), France (46) and Argentina and Italy (44 apiece).

 
Those eight seeded teams will be placed together in Pot One for Friday's draw, and they can't meet each other in the first round.

The United States, a quarterfinalist at the 2002 World Cup, was ninth with 43 points, followed by the Netherlands (38).

For the rest of the draw, FIFA decided to place the teams as follows:

Pot Two-- Angola, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Tunisia (Africa); Ecuador, Paraguay (South America); Australia (Oceania)

Pot Three-- Croatia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine (Europe)

Pot Four-- Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea (Asia); Costa Rica, United States, Trinidad and Tobago (North and Central America and Caribbean)

FIFA put Serbia-Montenegro in a special pot because of its low ranking (47th). To avoid having a group with three European nations, Serbia-Montenegro will be placed in a group with Argentina, Brazil or Mexico.

Because they are from the same confederation, the United States can't be drawn into a group with Mexico.


AP - Dec 6, 8:35 am EST

Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 following a 40-year absence, the Americans are 3-10-2 in the tournament, including 1-8-1 against European teams.

"It's likely that we have two teams from Europe. I'm not going to worry about it one way or the other," Arena said.

While the U.S. team could be in group with Brazil, the Netherlands and Paraguay, it also could be together with Spain, Angola and Ukraine. The Americans are ranked eighth in the world, down two spots from August.

"Any group we're going to be in is going to be a tough group," Arena said.

Host Germany will head Group A and Brazil will top Group F, allowing them to play in Berlin, Munich and Dortmund, the three biggest stadiums. Jim Brown, FIFA's director of competitions, said "economic factors" played a leading role in that decision.

Despite the lobbying, Dutch coach Marco van Basten expected his team to be omitted from the top eight.

"The Netherlands wasn't there at the last World Cup in 2002," he said in a statement. "So I think it's logical that we're not among the top seeds this time."

FIFA's new formula based seeds half on the last two World Cups, with 2002 given twice the weight of 1998, and half on each team's FIFA ranking in 2003, 2004 and 2005, with each weighted equally.

FIFA said the World Cup winner will earn $18.75 million. Each team will be guaranteed at least $1.5 million per first-round game, assuring each nation a minimum of $4.5 million.

I want Spain they are always the Bridesmaid and never the Bride. They will continue to disappoint so I believe we can take them.

Everybody saying Spain inconsistenet and does never live up to expectations... but there is a reason they are a seed....

They consistently make the kockout rounds and usually the quaterfinals where they then choke.....

So they does usually beat up de teams in de group stage... me eh want dem!!
Gimme England... since Sven in charge... dem like Trinidad.... high highs and low lows.....

FF like yuh have to send Oliver Camps an email and explain the drawing to him. Imagine this man in charge of T&T football. Look the link below followed by his quote:

http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_sports?id=121009479


"Following FIFA's announcement, T&TFF president Oliver Camps, who left for Germany yesterday, told the Express the money is being given by FIFA "for the preparation of the team and for all the expenses that you will have with the warm-up matches".

Camps was also of the view that a favourable draw for the T&T Soca Warriors would be the group including Mexico, as in their last outing with the Central Americans the Warriors won 2-1.

"Well, that grouping I feel we will do quite well, and we have the measure of Mexico, then we face up to them," he said.
Camps also felt the national team would be well prepared by the time the World Cup kicks off on June 9 after a rigorous training schedule under head coach Leo Beenhakker, who has proposed Austria as the team's pre-tournament base..."

I will be so sad if trinidad draw in a group with a top seed like brazil and the third seed team is holland. That go be pressure. I praying that we ain't get holland out of that core of europe teams. I have meh fingers cross. I rather take my chances against the other teams. As someone would say. That is my two cents for frinday in mind

ah have a feeling this is Spain year..this is the first time they actually 'stuggle' to qualify..so that mightve worked in there favor..whereas before they always 'breeze' in and then fall apart as soon as they have to step up a notch...Spain might be an easier game for us if we were their first game...if we end up in their group and play them last..ah expecting to collect bout 6.

i think our best draw will be:
Italy
Angola
Poland/Switzerland
T&T

Germany also won't be a bad team to play against. I rather prepare for them than Brazil, Argentina, Italy or Spain.

We don't want to end up in any group that has Holland or the Czech Republic.

I disagree, because except when you would play against Germany, the crowd will be all yours! Especially against Holland (but you are right, it's better not to meet them too early... 8))

The group yuh discribe dey could happen , given de fact that we not supposed to be in mexico group and serbia cyar be in ah group that have ah europeen team as seeded ( so dey restricted tuh 3 groups)

Buh it have too many other permutations fuh yuh tuh come up with ah 9/10 possibility of dat group.

Just a thought. Trinidad has always had a destiny to play Italy in the World Cup. I base this on the fact that the team T&T looses to is always placed in the same group as Italy in the WC.

 In 1974 the Haitians were placed in the same group as Italy. In 1990 the US were placed in the same group with Italy.

You never know.

Soccernet live coverage (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature?id=351143&cc=5739)

A simpler interface but it better than nothing.

The fifa one real sticking... they know millions of ppl will be on the site. And I believe is yahoo helping them out. Real stupidness...


Some good info off the site:

DRAW POTS:

Pot One: Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico and Spain

Pot Two: Australia, Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Tunisia, Ecuador, Paraguay

Pot Three: Croatia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine

Pot Four: Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, United States

Special pot: Serbia & Montenegro

HOW THE DRAW WILL WORK:

• The eight seeded teams will be drawn into eight different groups. Germany have already been allocated Group A and Brazil Group F.

• The eight unseeded European sides, in pot three, will be drawn.

• The lowest-ranked European side, Serbia and Montenegro, will be allocated to one of the groups containing either Brazil, Argentina or Mexico to ensure there is no more than two European sides in any group.

• The pot containing the five African countries, Australia and the two remaining South American sides, pot two, will be drawn.

• The pot containing the four Asian countries, the USA, Costa Rica and Trinidad, pot four, will be drawn.

We not going to be able to avoid a BIG side, but I would really like to play whoever it is for our first match, they will under estimate us and we will have the benefit of surprise on our side.  If they play some other weak team first and that team beat them or put a scare into them, they would have awoken by the time they play is in the 2nd or 3rd match.
We need to prepare really well leading up to this WC and play some good teams in Friendlies, but lets not put all or cards on the table too early, let we cruise in under the radar undetected, a lil 3-1 loss to Austrailia just before the WC, give everyone a false sense of "I knew them was not no good!"
Tactics on and off the field!!!

A website will be released in January allowing ppl to acquire tickets from those willing to sell or exchange. There is a 10US/Euro (not sure what the denomination is) to tranfer a ticket to somebody. So ppl might be able to grab some there.

We not going to be able to avoid a BIG side, but I would really like to play whoever it is for our first match, they will under estimate us and we will have the benefit of surprise on our side.  If they play some other weak team first and that team beat them or put a scare into them, they would have awoken by the time they play is in the 2nd or 3rd match.
We need to prepare really well leading up to this WC and play some good teams in Friendlies, but lets not put all or cards on the table too early, let we cruise in under the radar undetected, a lil 3-1 loss to Austrailia just before the WC, give everyone a false sense of "I knew them was not no good!"
Tactics on and off the field!!!
De flip side ah dat is ketchin a BIG side dat shit down de place last time (France / Arg) and come out to impress from de get go!!  Of de BIG sides Spain or Italy might be de ones to get....opinion!

The first lines of that great song by David Rudder are:

What's that royal sound that's bubbling out from your ghetto blaster
That crazy island music that's turning the slave into the master.
See the people gather round the red, the white, the black
If you ain't on our ground
You're surely in the background.

 Â   This sounding real dotish but I actually think that England may be the "best" team in our group to play. This is based on the fact that we and ALL Warriors, players and coaches know England. I am very wary of Sweden and Paraguay, they are two BIG teams.

Anybody else elated as me with the draw?  IU thkn somehow we managed to duck every single team that we had no real chance of beating.  I think the sweden a nd english styles of play would be much easier for us to handle, than a Holland, or Germany....seriously, what you think we woulda do if we come up against Ghana?
i say we go for the stone wall agsinst England.....a lil more open (but still going for the draw) agianst sweden...and gamble evertyhing on paraguay.

Group A is an interesting group to be in. One would expect Germany to come out as the winners. They certainly have the home advantage. However, they could easily be upset by Poland. Not to mention that Costa Rica is quite capable of surprising them also.

However, what I expect to happen in this group is Germany advances and a toss-up between Poland and Costa Rica with Poland having a slight advantage.

In Group B, I think we have the best chance of getting past Paraguay with our biggest battles being against England and Sweden.

In an interview(check it on tntwarriors.com) he said that he hopes we draw England so for him this is like a dream come true.  He said imagine only a few months ago he was solely focusing on Port Vale and now he playing on the biggest stage in the world against the best in the world.

Oh lawddddd...all we UK based boys hadda be salivating...dat was dey dream match up

The France group is easier in my opinion


yeah...for sure. France group easier and Spain group easy too...but I saying it could be a lot worse. I eh like Italy group..dat eh eating nice, Argentina and Netherlands group eh eating nice AT ALL and I eh want to be in no group with Brazil and Croatia. We could not be in Mexico group...so we get a good middle of road in my opinion. And you know dem boys wanted England..all dem UK based like dat. But 'me mum' must be crying tears of joy.

H is as balanced as ours...Ukraine is a Big side!

Say wha we reach so we hadda step up we game..................but honestly we need another fwd and  a left sided midfielder/wingback.

I cyar see Stern troubling Terry or Campbell or Mellberg with he trap and screen slow turn. We need a runner to go at them!

Also Ibrahimovich, Owen and Rooney go have we backline under pressure

As I say elsewhere, England get beat by Northern Ireland, so TnT have a chance. Also, England always have a game in the first round where they get beat by a smaller team. Also, English players hype themselves up too much so they are always at risk of underachieving. I going out in the morning to place a beat TnT go beat England.

jus read this on soccernet there!!!..

Beckham happy to face old pal Yorke

England captain David Beckham admitted he is relishing the chance to face his former Manchester United colleague Dwight Yorke after being drawn with Trinidad and Tobago at next summer's World Cup.

At the draw in Leipzig, England were drawn with the Caribbean side, Eriksson's native Sweden and South American qualifiers Paraguay.


And Real Madrid midfielder Beckham revealed it will be a nostalgic affair to face Yorke, who will be in Germany after the Caribbean nation qualified for their first World Cup.

He told www.thefa.com: 'Watching the World Cup draw today has already excited me as I think about the tournament ahead. We meet a familiar opponent in Sweden - one that both the players and manager know well.

'I am looking forward to playing my old team-mate Dwight Yorke with Trinidad and Tobago. He is someone who I share many great memories with.

'Paraguay are a bit of an unknown quantity, but we will be prepared fully when we meet them. To use an old football cliche there are no easy games. We have to go out and prove we are one of the favourites.

'If we work hard and play to our potential we have a genuine chance of winning the World Cup.'

the group is tough but it could have been worse. Any group that we got placed into would have required to step up our game.

Onward and upward.
