Topic to talk about the world cup, obviously :roll:
In the “football” topic its a bit saturated better to have a topic on the world cup only.
Starts the 9th of June, 2006. Final match:9th of July, 2006
Today: Final draw for the World Cup groups.
Group 1: Cannot play each other in first round group-
-Germany
-Brazil
-Argentina
-Italy
-France
-England
-Mexico
-Spain
Group 2:
-Tunisia
-Ivory Coast
-Ghana
-Angola
-Togo
-Paraguay
-Ecuador

Group 3:

Group 4:

*Serbia: Will be for sure in the group with Brazil, Argentina or Mexico, to avoid more than 2 european teams in the same group.
Here a site were all matches groups are arranged:

My bet:
First my country: Spain, will pass first round but in 1/4 or 1/2 will get kicked in the ass by a strong team, Italy, England, Germany, Argentina etc.
Who will win the World Cup? Favorite one: Brazil, everyone knows. Germany will also have a good world cup, since they play in their country.
Hope there are now awful referees as in 2002 (Spain-S.Korea) :roll:
