Hmmm it is a tough group but i wouldnt say it is a group of death as such. I have already said that i think Italy might go out but them and the czech republic should progress and i dont think Ghana are supposed to be one of the stronger African nations in the tounarment

I'm pretty chuffed with our draw myself. Could've done without Sweden, but by the time we come to play them it should be a nice carve up between us with two wins each.

Group C for me is the obvious "Group of Death" candidate.

Wigan's left back, Leighton Baines. Looks like Frodo Baggins. About the same height as him too, but he's brilliant and has a huge future ahead of him.

Might be but never noticed him for Wigan so he won't have much of a chance unless he plays spectacularly.

neither have i, but once Ashley Cole is alive & fit he will be playing left back no question about that & we all might as well give it up now Gerrard & Lampard are going to play together in the midfield & the final postion will go to either joe cole, Carrrick or King, for me i want Carrick.

Am I the only one thinking that Group F is the strongest looking group out there? Every team has a shot at qualifying, and it'll be a very interesting race to who finishes 2nd to Brazil.

What I don't get is why the media keep going on about how England don't want to get drawn with Australia... Australia scraped past a 5th? placed South American side on penalties - Australia's past friendly with England was meaningless. Paraguay should be tougher as they finished 4th in South America. Then you've got the African sides who have the 'fear of the unknown' about them.

Well you can say the likes of Togo or Angola don't deserve tp be there, considering the likes of Nigeria and Cameroon didn't make it. I was a little saddened that Nigeria, because I was liking the prospect of seeing Martins at full flight, with his pace and his ever improving technique (ie dribbling skills and control of the ball), he could have a nightmare for defenders when they are starting to tire late in the game.

Not a bad draw for England. Sweeden clearly a tough game but they are playing them last which is an advantage. Paraguy not a push over either but Trinidad should be straigh forward enough so i think they should fully expect to win the group.
groups C, E and F look enteratining

Kind of fitting that Australia gets pooled with Croatia, since many of the players have backgrounds from there and given the massive Croatian population down in Mexico (New South Wales) and Gautamala (Victoria). Same had it been Italy or Serbia & Montenegro.

The only reason every side has a shot at qualifying is because the 3 sides who aren't Brazil are all mediocre.

Groups C and E are for stronger.

I reckon Croatia should waltz it myself, but I def agree C (especially) & E are stronger, yes.

well it doesn't look so to me, once Brazil bring their A-game to the world cup especially that striking force of Ronaldo, Adriano & Ronaldinho i pitty for the defenders of the opponents in group F
