[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Uruguay are seeded, Chile aren't.

Spain > Uruguay
Netherlands > Italy
Chile > England

Uruguay are seeded, Chile aren't.

Spain > Uruguay
Netherlands > Italy
Chile > England

I don't care where they're seeded. I'm comparing them on strength alone.

Uruguay over Chile.
Italy over the Netherlands

Spain trump England considerably.

Top of the group, on alphabetical order. :lol:

 

[whall15]

I agree with TT, we have the winners of the 2010 World Cup and the runners up of the 2010 World Cup who managed to qualify undefeated for 2 World Cups in a row and a very good Chile side.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Then why Spain over England and not Spain over Italy and Netherlands over England?

Group B is by far the hardest.

 

[Misanthrope]

It's just so typically Australian to call our group the Group of Death.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

You're right, Spain, Netherlands and Chile will be easy :lol:

No one called 2006 or 2010 the group of death but it's typically Australian lol

I didn't say it was easy. I just said it wasn't the absolute worst group we could have drawn.

 

[Big Sam]

At least the pressure's off to qualify with that group. We can just go there and revel in the underdog status.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Geezus, what a draw.

I'm thinking the Germany game in 2010 x 3

Will they get a point?

 

[BunniesMan]

I didn't say it was easy. I just said it wasn't the absolute worst group we could have drawn.

Really? Worse than playing the 1st, 9th and 15th ranked teams?

 

[umina panther]

Play Spain last so maybe they might rest a few......not that it will help much lol

 

[Twizzle]

well at least we qualified

 

[Helmet Man]

I want the practice draw that we got lol we are so f**ked.

 

[shiznit]

well at least we qualified

Yup!

I watched it this morning with envy.

It's a shocking draw... But at least you blokes are there!

 

[Helmet Man]

LOL Ange and other Socceroos talking about relishing the challenge they have in front of them.

 

[Haffa]

It's just so typically Australian to call our group the Group of Death.

Except it's not just Australians calling it the group of death.

[saint pebba]

Personally I think group G is the group of death.

All 4 teams made the knockout stage at the last World Cup and all would have the expectation of doing so again.

 

[abpanther]

Happy with that for Argentina

 

[shiznit]

Belgium are on a good side of the draw...

They are dark horses IMO
