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.

  2. Ollie says:

    Honduras over England? Hmm, dubious!

  3. Squelch says:

    Australia or US, Ivory Coast or Ghana, France or Portugal.

    Those are the teams to avoid.

  4. Dickie says:

    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.

  5. Hirsty says:

    North Korea, Algeria, Slovakia

    We can dream, right?

  6. Chringle says:

    @Ollie: I just want them to fail dismally.

  7. Dan says:

    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…
