Weakest possible World Cup group

Chile weakest team in pot 3??? I doubt that very much!

Not weaker than for example Algeria, but an African team can't be drawn against South Africa, which is defo the weakest from Pot 1, so I had to choose a Latin American team from Pot 3. Chile somewhat weaker than Uruguay and Paraguay imo. Let's wait for the official seedings though

not much point in the opening post if you have to wait for the seedings :)

Chile are better than Uraguay surely , just don't have the history

Seedings will 90% be

Pot 1: Brazil, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Germany, England, France, South Africa
Pot 2: Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Serbia, Denmark, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia
Pot 3: Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Algeria
Pot 4: Mexico, USA, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Honduras, North Korea, New Zealand

''Chile are better than Uraguay surely''

That's what most people think, judging from qualification matches, but I doubt that very much, when June comes Uruguay will have much more potential.

I'd say Switzerland are the weakest Euro team

I can't wait for this draw, will be v. interesting :D

Imo half the teams in pot 4 are stronger than half the teams in pot 2.

yes , the pots are based on geography though rather than quality

Australia USA and Mexico are strongest opposition in Pool D

''Imo half the teams in pot 4 are stronger than half the teams in pot 2.''

USA, Australia and Korea stronger than Denmark, Slovakia or Greece? At least same level in my opinion...

90% of what??

from these, the weakest possible would be (IMO)

safrica
slovenia
algeria
nzealand

90% of certainty or 0.9 probability mate.

Your group is not possible, since it contains 2 African teams.

anyone know what time the seedings are announced?

just been announced

Really? Do you remember how bad Slovakia were at Wembley last year? USA and Aussies would give us a tougher game.

anyone else fully expecting France to be drawn in South Africa's group?

Would fancy USA over likes of Greece

Think Denmark will do well to win a game

i will larf my nads off if south africa fail to qualify from their group

South Africa
Honduras
Chile
Slovakia/ Slovenia

This would not be a massive surprise on Friday.

to be fair i reckon australia, usa, mexico are better than all the teams in Pot 4: except for France (who were pis$ poor throughout the whole qualifying anyway) and portugal

SA to get easy draw, they're going to need all the help they can get

SA, Slovaquia , Argelia , NZ
