Who is going to win the Fifa World Cup 2010 in South Africa?
Being from England, I choose England.
I truely believe the England side on paper is one of the best in the world!
Imo the only problem being is that the team can't gel.
If you agree or disagree, let me know and remember to tell me who you think is going to be champions.

just another reason to get in Camara technology, they was completley robbed.
Spain are solid, but brazil attacking are lethal but in defence are not up to standard.
Remember when England played Brazil and lost 1-0, Brazil had a strong side out, and England had 3 or 4 of their best players.

im 100% against it i think the game needs the referees decision.

brazil have wained in recent years and as you say their defending has been poor.

spain on the other hand have the full package and david villa is top class.

i just hope they ban those stupid f@ckin horns

Jesus the horns, fuc*ing hell. LOL I know what you mean!
Against the Camara tech, wow. I mean everyone to their own, but do you not think we need fair football without mistakes.
No more dives, handballs, goals ect ect.. I just think it could make the game much more fluid, and we might actually have 90
minutes of football.
with regards I know that for lower leauge football it could be near impossible, but playing for millions of people and for millions of pounds I think it's a must.

The USA never wins the cup, but at least we are competitive now.
I like Brazil, Germany, or England.
anybody but Italy. I can't stand Italy for some reason.

you know i think argentina could finish high, italy wont live up to the potential same for england. on paper both could be called the best in the world in practise...

yeah nuera i flit between thinking that it would promote a fairer game and everyone would be under the same scrutiny but i think it would take a lot from the game not having these mistakes. people will always remember great mistakes henry last week maradonna's hand of god both defining moments of footy history.

on a different note maradonna's goal jut before the hand of god is fucking sick

In truth i understand with regards to the drama would be taken away, i just feel its time to have fair football.

He was one hell of a player and has gone down in history as one of the best, but personally i prefer to call that dirty little move 'The hand of plod'.

Anyhow heres the :

FIFA SEEDS

The FIFA Organising Committee has announced the eight top seeds for the 2010 World Cup draw, which will be held in Cape Town on Friday 4 December.

The seeding was based on the October 2009 FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking and Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina and England are therefore the seven squads that join hosts South Africa as seeded teams for the Final Draw.

Netherlands were initially expected to be placed in Pot 4, but the Dutch eventually replaced France in Pot 1. Portugal also missed out on a place among the eight top seeds.

Pot 2 will be composed of teams from AFC (Australia, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic), CONCACAF (Honduras, Mexico, USA) and OFC (New Zealand).

Pot 3 will include teams from CAF (Algeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria) and CONMEBOL (Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay).

Pot 4 will have the remaining UEFA teams (Denmark, France, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland).As part of the draw procedure, teams from the same confederation - excluding UEFA - cannot be drawn against each other. That is to say, South Africa cannot meet Algeria, for example, while Brazil will avoid Paraguay.

In the case of UEFA, a maximum of two European teams can be drawn in each group, one from Pot 1 and one from Pot 4.
