World cup draw

The Game Room
21

Worst case scenaio for the US:

Brazil, Ivory Coast, Serbia (tough defense)

Best case scenario:

South Africa (of course, but otherwise Holland), Uruguay, Switzerland

I just hope we have a good draw for the opening match of the group. Against the Czechs in '06, it seemed like the whole team was just frozen, and all of a sudden I thought the CR would make a run to at least the semis. Based on how they performed against Ghana and Italy, and since '06, I have to believe the US just froze in the moment and didn’t take advantage of a huge opportunity. Hopefully we can “ease into” the WC this year.

DSYoungESQ, I’m depending on you (aren’t you lucky!) for live updates. I hope you don’t mind. Stupid work and their firewalls.

Talking heads so far. Sigh. I can’t get the streaming video, so I don’t get to look at Charlize Theron. :mad:

Fuck! Hardest draw from pot 2, no question. Edit: actually no, Mexico tougher.

A question: is this a career low for Charlize Theron? Up against Aeon Flux. My vote: yes.

28

US opens against England. Hmm, I’d rather end against them. Better England than Spain, Holland, or Brazil.

Lucky Mexico. Shuts up the people that were saying how the draw was rigged for SA.
