World Cup Draw

USA drew into Group C and will play England, Algeria and Slovenia.

USA will play England in their first match and, thank you scheduling Gods, it will air Stateside at 230 (EST I believe) on a Saturday!

Initial thoughts are that they have a good chance of getting through that group. Doomsday draw predictors were looking for things to be much more difficult.

Looks like Group B and Group G will be fighting for the title of “Group of Death,” though G looks to be more difficult, plus gets to play winner of Group H - likely Spain

Group B:
Argentina
NigeriaSouth Korea
Greece

Group G:

Brazil
Portugal
North Korea
Ivory Coast

The rest of the groups:

Group A:

Mexico
South Africa
France
Uruguay

Instant reaction: France and Mexico advance

Group D:

Germany
Australia
Serbia
Ghana

Instant reaction: Germany and Ghana advance


Group E:

Netherlands
Denmark
Japan
Cameroon

Instant reaction: Netherlands and Japan advance


Group F:

Italy
Paraguay
New Zealand
Slovakia

Instant reaction: Italy and Paraguay advance

Group H:
Spain
Switzerland
Honduras
Chile

Instant reaction: Spain and Chile advance
