World Cup Draw Fri 4th Dec.

[Archie Mitchell]

Not sure about Brazil and Spain meeting in Quarter final.

So according to the BBC, England will win their group, beat anyone in the 2nd round, beat France in quarter final, Brazil in semi final and Spain/Argentina/Germany in the final!

I was wrong so I deleted it. I had a quick glance at it, if all goes to plan they can't meet until the final

The BBC are being very presumptuous, I'd have a punt on them playing Germany in the 2nd round.

Spain v Brazil is the final everyone wants to see!

[The Real Laoislad]

If Spain and Brazil win their groups they will be playing the runners up from either group in matches 54 and 56

If Spain win their 2nd round match (match 56) they will be playing the winners of match 55

Match 55 will be winners of Group F which is Italy's group v Runners Up Group E which might be Cameroon/Denmark/Hollan/Japan

So all in all if all goes to plan it will be a Italy v Spain 1/4 Final

You heard it here first!

Jammy barstewards!!!  The good thing is the hype will be uncontrollable come June next year as will the fall out whne they balls it up!!

Tough draw for Ivory Coast who I fancied to do well.  Watch out for possible Eng v Ghana in round two??  Ghana are a strong side.  I think too the successful team in the Brazil and spain groups will play each other??

Probably the easy way to look at it. Potentially Holland v Brazil QF

What a handy group ireland would have got 

[GalwayBayBoy]

Think the quarter-finals could end up as

France v England
Holland v Brazil
Argentina v Germany
Italy v Spain

That said you can be sure there will be some upsets before then that will knock one or two of them out.

Had a wee laugh when Charlie Therzon said when France came out...Sometimes silence better!!

Missed the draw , what did she say?

[Norf Tyrone]

Drogba and Kalou v Fererria and Carvalho.

Ivory Coast are/ were my tip for the last four.

[Norf Tyrone]

What time, our time, will these games be taking place?

I'm thinking if england get a bit of a run I might have a handy time at work,  and if they get a run it'll be even funnier when they're knocked out.

4pm and 8.30pm.
Perfect times for me by the way.

If that does go to plan I'd fancy a Holland V England and  Argentina v Spain semi finals with a Holland v Spain final

I think if England got to the final I would have to watch it while drinking a bottle of vodka, my nerves couldn't hack it sober.

It be a bit like Dublin being in the All Ireland football final...well it would be for me anyway
