Can you predict England’s World Cup group?
“I’m getting the words ‘Group of Death’…”
It’s time for you to look into your Sepp Blatter-shaped crystal ball and predict which group England will land in tomorrow’s World Cup draw in Cape Town. Exciting stuff, eh.
These are the four pots:
POT 1 (Seeds):
Argentina, Brazil, ENGLAND, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Holland
POT 2 (Asia, Oceania and North/Central America):
Australia, New Zealand, Honduras, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mexico, United States.
POT 3 (Africa and South America):
Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Paraguay, Nigeria, Uruguay.
POT 4 (Europe):
Denmark, Greece, France, Portugal, Slovenia, Serbia, Slovakia, Switzerland.
For no reason other than a baseless hunch, I’m going to say:
ENGLAND, Australia, Cameroon, Portugal
“Mama mia!”
That’s neither a Group of Death nor a gimme – somewhere in between but perfectly winnable.
Would love to hear your predicted group for Capello’s side…

“If I was in Cape Town, the World Cup draw would get nae peace. Aye, I’d be biting its legs for the full 90 minutes – there’d be no let up. I’d be in Sepp Blatter’s face from the first whistle. Because that’s what’s going to happen…”
Honduras, Ivory Coast, Serbia.
+ Out in the group stage. Honduras and Ivory Coast to go through. Germany to win overall.
Honduras over England? Hmm, dubious!
Australia or US, Ivory Coast or Ghana, France or Portugal.
Those are the teams to avoid.
Australia, Ivory Costies and Portugal. We always end up with one big team just cause that’s how it goes. Still, we should be beating a team that scraped through.
Thanks for Fletchie says with every article. It’s good to have his opinion on every matter.
North Korea, Algeria, Slovakia
We can dream, right?
@Ollie: I just want them to fail dismally.
Honduras, Paraguay, Switzerland.
England to qualify along with my adopted second team, Honduras!
It’s got nothing to do with me being a Wigan fan, honest…
England, North Korea, Chile, France

Germany, US, Cameroon, Greece.
Oh, you meant England’s group?
I have no clue.
Wait, aren’t all of these baseless hunches?
New Zealand, Ghana, Portugal.
ENGLAND, japan, chile, serbia
DON’T CARE, DON’T CARE AND FINALLY DON’T CARE, IF WE’RE AS GOOD AS WE BOAST WE ARE IT SHOULDN’T MATTER AJOT! BRING IT ON.
England, Japan, Paraguay and Serbia.
England, Canada, Morocco, Finland
And I’m hoping my country, Ukraine, is drawn into:
Ukraine, China, Columbia, Ireland
