Belgium and Switzerland in pot 1, what?
Expecting the group of death for us like always.

So cute when British people try to care about the WC. Their team will fail again anyway.

Klinsmann is a fraud.

Edit: US keeps getting stuck with Brasil over and over again. That doesn't make me feel very good.

That has England beating Spain in the first knockouts, Mexico in the quarters, before losing to Columbia in the semis, having come second to the USA in the groups.

The draw portion is random and then they decide the knockout rounds based on FIFA rankings and probabilities. I've seen some weird results in the knockouts, but that's how the WC goes sometimes.

Mine has a World Cup final between Cameroon and Brazil, LOL. Dunno what numbers they are using.

That would be some group!

Uruguay

Mexico laughs all the way to the bank

Final, Italy v Belgium LOL

All I ask is that we place above England again.

Uruguay and Russia would decimate Mexico :lol

Apparently, the Guardian reckon Bosnia-Herzegovina will finish top of a group with Spain, Australia and Ecuador with the Ecuadorians finishing group runners up.

It's England in the draw not Britain. The scots will laugh their heads off when England fail. So will us Welsh :)

Makes me laugh when people act like England fans are unaware of the lack of quality in the team. Do one.


Getting knocked out early will almost be worth it just to see the face on the resolve-testing owl-faced arse-sniffing Poulsen-buying quadruple-joweled cunt at the helm

@pulse, Scotland and Wales' national teams are an embarassment to the sport, yous lot can do one as well

Yeah but we don't hype ours up beyond belief and then spend four years crying about why things have gone wrong.

There was a jokes paragraph in a Miguel Delaney article recently:

Suarez occupies a special place in the English national consciousness. He is, perhaps, the first football player to be grouped -- along with Piers Morgan and the French -- as a genuine enemy of the state, loathed in equal measure by north and south, rich and poor. He has done more to bring the disparate communities of England together than any amount of political policy-making. It would be wonderful to see him score the winner against Hodgson's team. Preferably with his hand.

I hope the 2014 WC OT matches or even exceeds South Africa's in laughs. The last one was a complete riot from start to finish.

Edit: Wilbur knows what I'm talking about ^^^^

Italy is due for a group of death. I don't remember being in one in my lifetime. If italy and chile are in the same group I'm pretty sure my girlfriend and I will break up lol. Will not be pretty.

Everyone always speaks as if the media = the fans. Find me one sane minded England fan that thinks we can win the World Cup. It's almost impossible.

Its the media who hype us up tbf, we're well aware of the unlikelihood of us doing anything at the WC.

Schadenfreude

(unless you're spanish)

2010 was shite. Not enough good games, not enough good goals, not enough controversy, too much corporate nonsense (which will be worse this time,) a shite ball, and vuvuzelas

Hope its more like Euro 2008

Switzerland are good, don't get fooled :

Bros for life baby

I wasn't around for the World Cup one but recently the 2012 CL and Euros threads were stunning.

My first ban, the Great Cunt War, Meus proclaiming in the wake of Chelsea's win that football is dead

Just glorious

The gifs, the salt, the insane boasting, the random meltdowns resulting in a cavalcade of bannings.

I don't really partake in the Football |OT|, but the WC and the Euro always deliver gallows of lols.

Bosnian here, enjoying the underdog role. No pressure on our guys.

Hope we get Brazil in our group.

Belgian here rooting for Brazil since I was a little kid! Hope they win (home country seems to be good so I guess them doing well can only be a plus).

*runs*

Did that simulation and got

Argentina
USA
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Cote d'Ivoire

And USA beating Brazil and Colombia before losing to Spain in the semis with Argentina beating Spain in the final. lol.

I love it when the Welsh and Scots do this.

"Haha, you didn't win a competition we didn't even qualify for!"

2006 was group of death for Italy. How old are you? :P

Italy
Ghana
US
Czech Republic

So the US are likely to end up with a much tougher draw than Mexico, correct?

Fucking bullshit.

At least we're bringing our best side in modern history to Brazil. Cannot wait for next summer.

Ah, no team by team descriptions this year?

You disappointed me Wes :(

Have tickets to quarter and semi finals in Salvador. Can't wait!

Nope. They're in the same pot and from the same region, so the odds of getting any given group are the same.

ROONEY

But seriously, looking forward to this one. 2010 World Cup was my junior year at HS and skipping to town to watch that was fantastic. Excited for Rooney and Croatia.

GO CROATIA
