The FIFA Organising Committee approved today the procedure for the Final Draw of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, which will be held in Cape Town on Friday 4 December. The seeding was based on the October 2009 FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking (which you can see by clicking on the link to the right), 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. The committee also approved the composition of the other pots as well as the procedure for the final draw: • Pot 2 will be composed of teams from Asia (Australia, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic), North, Central America and the Caribbean (Honduras, Mexico, USA) and Oceania (New Zealand) • Pot 3 will include teams from Africa (Algeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria) and South America (Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay) • Pot 4 will have the remaining European teams (Denmark, France, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland) • hosts South Africa will be automatically positioned as A1; the other seeded teams will be drawn into the other groups B-H, but will always be in position “1” of their group • groups will be drawn from A to H and the positions in the group will be drawn for Pots 2 to 4 • geographical criteria will also be respected, meaning that no two teams from the same confederation will be drawn in the same group (except European teams, where a maximum of two will be in a group). For example, South Africa cannot play the African teams from Pot 3 and Argentina and Brazil cannot be drawn against the three remaining South American teams. |

New Zealand, Algeria, Slovenia because they are the easiest teams I think. But looking at those teams anyway, England should be able to get through whatever group. Wouldn't want Ghana, Ivory Coast, USA, France or Portugal. Think the rest are beatable. |

I remember this time 4 years ago we were all going 'please not brazil' and bang. We got Brazil  We ended up playing pretty well against them however despite the 2-0 loss. |

Would love to see England get a group like Algeria, New Zealand/ North Korea and Slovenia or Greece or hopefully they get Australia and show australians how football is played. Hope France get Spain/Holland, Mexico and Ivory Coast Nigeria or Ghana. |

Nothing to harp on about. That was the most disgraceful decision in World Cup history after we had dominated the entire match after the sending off. |
