World Cup 2014 Draw

Just a few hours away, so thought I'd start a thread on this.



I think it starts at 16:00 GMT, but there's probably alot of pre bullshit before the actual draw starts.

Can't wait. So far I only managed to get tickets for one single game , H1 vs H2 in Belo Horizonte. Considering my luck, H1 will be Switzerland 

Switzerland in Pot 1?

Bizarre.

I wonder when we will know who from pot 9 goes into pot 2.

The places and stadiums people draw seem just as important as the opposition in this one. Difference in temperature and humidity can be pretty big from what I understand. Is this true Diego?

Possible travel problems as well as the teams are forced to stay in one place.



Especially the Manaus one apparently everybody wants to avoid, as it's in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and doesn't have a proper highway leading to it?

Good old FIFA, so that's where England will be playing then.

That's true, Brazil is as big as Europe minus Russia, so there are many regional variations. The northern states in particular are hot no matter the time of the year, it won't make much of a difference if it's winter here. Some states are quite dry like Brasilia and others have much humidity, such as Manaus. The southern states like Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná, on the other hand, could be quite cold during this time of the year (though obviously nothing compared to an European winter).

Oh please, just let us know the f***in groups.
These attractions are going to be so cliché and cringe worthy.

FIFA celebrating Mandela... but they supposedly rejected a black couple to host the draw. A white, blonde couple was chosen instead...

I don't really hate people, but Blatter comes close.

I'm not that good a person, I hate Blatter with all my heart.

That's the only guide you need for how corrupt football's ruling body is - the number of years Blatter has presided over it's malpractice and is consistently re-elected into office to continue his corruption.

Definition in the online dictionary: Blatter v. to make a senseless noise, to prattle.

Oh dear, it's so embarrassing! Please, just draw the damn groups!

That made the news here.

Shocking.

All I want to know is, why!?

Why, oh dear, why? I hate this need to turn everything into a huge event and all that crap.
All we want to know about is football! Not modern dance, for christ sake, not samba.
Put some great players of the past there and tell us the groups. So simple.

Lineker, Shearer & Martinez look a show. Dress up will you! Shirt and tie FFS.

What a team for the draw. Only great players.

Those microphones look stupid.

This pot mixup stuff is bullshit by the way. I bet if Iceland or Ukraine or whatever small country instead of France would have qualified they'd just be put into pot 2 immediately instead of this weird pre draw now.

Oh crap. I wanted Germany or Argentina. I'll watch Belgium.

Oh dear god. My only ticket for the WC is to watch Belgium vs Algeria.
