Thats a good draw for England. Can see 1 of the Holland and Argentina slipping up in there group as theres always and upset. What are your view and reaction to the draw?

I think we have an easy ass group. The only lil worry is Sweden but the rest are shit.

Group E, Italy are gonna struggle with the Czechs there.

the second round will be:

Winner Group A vs Runner-Up Group B
Winner Group B vs Runner-Up Group A
Winner Group C vs Runner-Up Group D
Winner Group D vs Runner-Up Group C
Winner Group E vs Runner-Up Group F
Winner Group F vs Runner-Up Group E
Winner Group G vs Runner-Up Group H
Winner Group H vs Runner-Up Group G

which means that if we win our group we we will get the runner-up of group A, and if we come second we get the winner of that group:

Germany
Costa Rica
Poland
Ecuador

out of those i'd say germany would easy win, poland second, no-one else in it. so we should get poland.

in every group, there seems to be a clear winner, or two clear 'better teams' and two hopeless teams.

[LukeEv_17]

if we do get poland that should be a comfatable win as we played them in qualifying and beat them twice

[Ben]

yeh defo. if we fuck up and get germany, they're the ones with the advantage, so we could be FUCKED, but then again, i'd love to see us knock them out of the second round LOL

[Luke]

Why should we get Poland? Who says we're going to win our group? Sweden are a fine side.

[Ben]

no messing around and we're easily the better team. as i said, if we fuck up, we could have thrown it all away right before it's got interesting.

[Luke]

We haven't beat Sweden in our lifetime mate. What makes you think we're going to start now?

They have some brilliant players. Ibrahimovich for one.

We should beat sweden, but i agree, they are a good side and will be tough. I think we'l win the world cup, I dont think sweden will win all there games in this group, I think we'l draw to sweden though

[Pearson]

I meant all the other games, I think therel draw to Paraguay! I would use the edit button but dunt seem to be working!

[Ben]

no doubt sweden are a good side, but they haven't got what it takes to do well.

we can beat them and i sure hope we do. they'll easily come second, but as long as we don't have a major bollock-up we'll do fine in the group stage.
