How can you have such an internationally skilful sport, played by millions of talented players around the world run by such an inept, corrupt and incompetent sporting body like FIFA? Really- FIFA is the joke of the sporting world!
Salvadoreño, we are not in the final 32, but I will be with all the lating countries and USA.
Still pissed about Ireland... But I like America's chances to advance out of group play in 2010
Good Luck Nigeria...it's on your soil so time to show the world what they are up against!!!Naija :)

Football is a game of chance. African teams should correct thier mistakes and bring honour home. By king_mukaila@yahoo.co.uk
up naija,up obafemi
Vomas Honduras si se puede We are heavy under dogs and nobody expected us to be here but we showed the world that we can play futbol as well as anybody and if mex is a powerhouse then weve already defeated a powerhouse toget here so look out for my little country were the cinderella story of the world cup 2010!!!

Twumasi Yeboah do you ever shutup? you have no chance against australia

Ireland should be in the world cup not france.Hopefully Italy will for the world cup
With God on our side 'ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.' Africa will lift the Cup coming 2010. Arise Africa arise for God Almighty is on our side. There is a light which has started shining to the entire world, is lightening from the ''BLACK SOIL.''

Let one of the African teams succeed this time. But the team that will, in all probability, take the honors is BRAZIL.
Algeria it is the best team go algeria go good luck
Mexico vs france we better tie Henry's hands

Let the best team win. By that, I mean Nigeria.
sachin tendulkar is just 30 runs away for his 13,000 runs..way to go sachin!! u rock

Let the best team win. By that, I mean Nigeria.
Cmon New Zealand!!! One shot for GLORY!
Go Honduras!!! You made it to the world cup, you can also make it through the first round.. Good luck
England have 2 Daddy's. Italy & German.
Everyone is is for a real treat, and again I think it looks like Argentina and England are on a head on collision in the 3rd round..Bring it on..and to answer to Michael Zandegu in comments above..England were Seeded because they 'Won' their qualifying Group..read the rules and weep!!..Football is Coming Home!!
we (Mexico) wanna play in conmebol and not in that cappy concacaf with its leade chuck blazer and jack warner witch only worry about Mexico not progressing and being surpassed soccerwize by USA but mexico proved a point 5-0 concacaf final 2-1 WC qualifier
Australia.... the greatest sporting nation per capita in the world!!!!!!
England is celebrating the grp draws as if they are in the semifinals already. We have seen this before and after the end of the world cup finas they start talking about the 1960 team
Don't be stupid SA are in a GofD
England is going all the way!
Brasil. Is The only team. That have won outside Their continent. America, Europe, Asia.
Good luck!!!! No Europe team have won outside their continent yet!
Es el unico equipo de America en ganar en Europa, (Suecia 58) y gano tambien en Asia.(02) Suerte para los penta campeones del mundo.
Vamos chile we can do it .....play with the heart
This drawing will go down in World cup history as the fairest. Previous World cups always had a group of death. So far no group here can be described as such. I believe that every country here has been given an equal chance of winning it all. Kudos to the organizers.
Good luck Africa!!!
maybe mexico will finally get some attention they deserve as being a powerhouse of the americas next to brazil argentina, i think opening the event might be a good sign for mexico. aiming for semi final
Arriba Chile.. C-H-I...chi,, L-E le.. chi, chi, chi, le, le, le .. VIVA CHILE !!!
Que gane el mejor. The best team will win = ) and that we will find out next year. Just dream now and maybe your wish may come true.

Group A, F and H are the weak groups.
Algeria will be the surprise.

Nos jeunes sont plein de talents,ils vont impresionner.
Goog luck Algeria, mon Amour
Ivorians never give in upon difficult group u are. Be prepared
How does England get seeded?Must be based on televisions viewed.
Uruguay S Africa; Argentina Greece; England Us; Germany Serbia; Neth Denmark; Italy Paraguay; Brazil Port; Spain Chile will make it through the first round. Taking bets...
Brasil,Spain and maybe France are favorits of the tournament. I wish Serbia can make it to the top but it's goin' to be hard.But I remember South Korea in 2002WC and Turkey in EC 2008.
Just cheat your way into the QF cas FIFA (Irl v Fra) don't mind its good for the game cas thats how Blat got his job just be a fucking cheet.
Hope France get knocked out early. Dont deserve to be there. Cheats! Forza Gli Azzurri.
One more for ITALY
NICE DRAW,go g GHANA. its time for Africa
Nigeria and Italy will only suceed the 1st round.
it has always been though for ivory coast, but it's football and there is no logical statement, any big team may come out after first round. Warnings you are playing on motherland voodoo from brazil will not work on african land. Pressure is more on portugal than ivory coast. Come ivory coast you can do it.
Go Ivory Coast ! The miracle...
Napred Srbija!!!
We have a great team thats why the serbs are going to go far in the world cup
Yeah this was a pretty nice draw, Go Denmark!
as long as argentina doesnt win .. this world cup will be great ..

slovenia will go to the cup final, its about time, where is croatia this cup?
France, Germany, Holland and Brazil have the best chances to reach the end. The best of these four has never made the end before. Will it this time?
Grpe de la mort pour la CI ,Le Bresil et Portugal
