I had been worried early, during the world cup 2010 draw last night, when England’s first group opponents were USA, however the last two teams added to the group made all England fans relax a bit. Algeria and Slovenia surely should not poss any real problems.
Even the next round seems pretty amicable for England. Assuming England win group C and Germany win group D, which is no stretch of the imagination. England would face Australia, Serbia or Ghana.
This draw definitely gives us an odds on chance of getting to at least the quarter final.
The other groups seem pretty well distributed, but I think group G would have to be considered the “group of death”, with Brazil, Portugal and Côte d’Ivoire all capable teams. Unfortunately Kim Jong-il will only be broadcasting games that North Korea win…so I’m guessing North Koreans will not get to see any of the World cup; being in this group.
Groups are:
Group A
South Africa
Mexico
Uruguay
France
Group B
Argentina
Nigeria
Korea Republic
Greece
Group C
England
USA
Algeria
Slovenia
Group D
Germany
Australia
Serbia
Ghana
Group E
Netherlands
Denmark
Japan
Cameroon
Group F
Italy
Paraguay
New Zealand
Slovakia
Group G
Brazil
Korea DPR
Côte d’Ivoire
Portugal
Group H
Spain
Switzerland
Honduras
Chile
Many people and clubs involved in the Premier League are up to arms about 
After watching Sunday’s match between Manchester City and Birmingham, and in-fact the season as a whole, I am starting to believe Shay Given is currently far and away the best goal keeper in the Premier League, and maybe even one of the best in the world.
It was a huge match on Sunday when Manchester United came to face Liverpool at Anfield. If Liverpool won they could save their season, if they lost it would end their title challenge very early in the running.
