World Cup 2014 Draw

Did the U.S really have a chance anyway ? Maybe in a different sport.

Do you think I'm American? I'm British my friend, born and bred in London, but I know that England have little chance!

England can get out of that group, but they have to actually play reasonably well at a tournament which has not happened since WC 2002.

I'm pretty sure the Italians and Uruguay are no happier about the situation than England are.

It is a tougher group and the performances have to come immediately, its not like the 'easy' group in 2010 helped anyway did it? If you play poorly, you'll rightly get booted out.

The point is if England do get out of that group they will have to have done it by earning it against better sides and then they would have a much nicer round of 16 after that.

It does look to me that the teams in the bottom half have a fantastic chance of going a long way in the competition.

France, only squeezing by in a qualifier have had a hugely lucky draw as they not only have a weaker group, if they win it they also play the runners up of Group F which is likely to be a poorer side as well.....

You also have to look at the Belgians who many tipped for a good tournament, they are immediately favourites to top their group

I can't see a scenario where England could have had it worse :(

Also, I doubt the U.S will be too distraught over their group, considering American Football and Baseball is more their speed over there

I agree with you, England aren't that bad I expect us to qualify honestly. Uruguay can be beaten and we've shown we can at least draw with Italy, I expect us to progress in second place.
Btw how good is Deleufeo? why did Barca loan him out?

@mynameisq, I guess Barca just wanted to give Deulofeu some playing time elsewhere, he looks decent but I guess he's still young. I haven't been paying attention to him since his loan, Im just a bit more interested in what happen with Tello and Adama Traore.

im sure he will.
the world cup only starts in june and he most likely will be back in action mid jan/feb at the latest. that leaves him with plenty time to prep for world cup. lets just hope this is a once off problem not something thats recurring. but yeah, its messi. im sure he will be ready when the time comes. after all, he is almost inhuman.
