France got lucky again with the draw.

The Germans got Portugal, Ghana and the USA. Another group to be called the group of death Ghana got to the quarter final last time before losing on penalties I think against Uruguay. The Boateng brothers will be playing against each other in the Germany v Ghana match.

Uruguay and Luis Suarez all the way  ;D

There is a high chance he will have played his last game for Liverpool by that stage.

Mixed group for us.

Argentina
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Iran
Nigeria

Tough draw for the chaps in this Moy Park Chickens World Cup 2014 tournament but I'm sure we can come out of the group without too much fuss, although having to deal with the world's finest player in Luis Suarez (the jewel in the Barclays Premier League™ crown) is certainly something to think about.

Particularly looking forward to us setting the record straight in Belo Horizone-ch in the final group match against Costa Roca, after that infamous 1-0 defeat there to the USA in 1950. Newspapers in England mistakenlly thought that result to be 10-1 to England, which was perfectly understandable given that we were by far the best team in the world.

Then it's onwards and upwards with an easy second round draw against one of the minnows of Colombia, Greece, some African team and I can't remember who.

All in all the expeditition is already shaping up to be just as successful as the British Loins' famous civilising mission to South Africa in 1974.

In all seriousness, why do you do that?

There aren't enough free World Cup tickets in the world that would make me consider going to Dungannon.

See there's a few 'polls' online for England's World Cup squad. Jaysus it's a fairly thin selection...

I think it's a comfortably better selection than last time and arguably as good and better as most of the squads since 1990. Loads of good, young players there.

I don't believe the right man is in charge, however.

I don't really mind who wins as long as it's not England. I'm confident it won't be though. I think Brazil will win it.

I think he played U21 for Finland but then declared for England
