The Draw

Sasha Manuel — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 03:48:16 +0000

Well, I’m talking about the Draw for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

It’s a list of the qualified countries divided into groups which will play during the finals group stage that can somehow be translated to a “how-to-get-rid-of-World-Cup-wannabes” process.

There is a mixture of opinions and emotions about the draw. I reckon particularly in Australia since it’s their first time to qualify for the World Cup in years only to get Brazil in the draw or England who got Sweden, a team they haven’t beaten in 37 years. But you’ll never know. I do believe that anything can happen.

Anyway, I’ve listed the Draw results so you can go see for yourself.
