World Cup 2010 Drawing

World Cup 2010 drawing took place in Cape Town, South Africa, on 4th December 2009.





And the result was as followed:

It is very interesting, that there are a few groups of death here.

Group G is described as the toughest group, especially for Portugal. They have to fight against 5 times world champions, Brazil, and Didier Drogba's Ivory Coast. Then if they manage to qualify, "the-soon-reigning world champion", SPAIN, are waiting. So, it is not a great World Cup draw for Portugal by any means.

Meanwhile Argentina are facing a tough group, considering their own form lately. In Group B, it's very hard to predict who's gonna qualify and who's not. Assuming the Argies doesn't deliver, all teams there have an equal opportunity to qualify.

The host though is dragged into a somehow complicated group, having Mexico, Uruguay and the France's "volleyball" national team with their captain, Thierry, plays up front.

Group D and Group E are quite intriguing. Two best European countries (apart from Spain) at this moment, Netherlands and Germany, have to find their way out against both Asian giants (Japan and Australia), and African giants (Cameroon and Ghana), not to mention the potentially black-horse candidates like Denmark and Serbia.

The rest of them, Group C, Group F, and Group H, on paper should be just a piece of cake for the defending champion, Gli Azzurri, The Three Lions, and La Furia Roja. But it is not impossible that surprises will happen.

Let's just wait until 11th June and 11th July 2010 to find out how this tournament is going to start and end.
