World Cup 2014

[hutch]

draw starting....

hard to imagine Brazil not winning the World CUP at home...although it has happened ...

I would expect, as usual, for the US to get screwed with the draw and refs (during the games of course)...

still so ticked off about the US letting Mexico in...

the seeding is weird... a team like Uruguay that barely qualified is a top seed? the whole thing is weird...FIFA made changes to the draw procedure only like two days ago... always so transparent...

Or we're just not very good because less than 1% of our top athletes pursue a career in the sport.

Jesus. Killsaly, if you're out there, I apologize. WWE >>>>>>>>>>> soccer.

the US actually is pretty good.. if you look at the fact that the world has like 200-300 countries and the US has played in every World Cup going back to 1990... not too shabby... and finished first in Concacaf qualifying..

but having watched the US the past few World Cups I've seen plenty of cases where the refs have been all too happy to screw the US over..

boy that chick really has her tits hanging out..

[hutch]

and I'm actually optimistic about the US... we're getting better... and no country has as high a percentage of young kids playing soccer as the US....

I've lived all over the world and I've never seen anywhere but the US where you go out on a Saturday or Sunday and the parks are all full of little kids playing soccer..

the MLS, mediocre as it is, is fairly succesful.. expanding to I think 22 teams.. I think it had like 10 when it started in the 1990s.... Seattle's average draw I think is over 50,000 per home game.. not many teams in the world can say that...

[hutch]

god I hate FIFA... its almost enough to make me not pay attention

evvery four years I have to listen to this Valcke fucker.

[hutch]

if I read this correctly a-d will be one side of the draw..

Colombia has no business beign a top seed....much as I like ther coach....

so lots of South American teams in a-d

[hutch]

Argentina happy being top seed in Group F  but who will be in the group... no travel required...that is the benefit of Group F for Argentina....

now it gets interesting

[hutch]

Uruguay gets screwed big time...Italy is always a contender

[hutch]

Zidane!

[hutch]

Brazil always gets a real nice draw...

group E shaping up as the group of the WEAK

Please list along with their population, in order, the countries in CONCACAF. Please, then, also cite the US' record since 1990 against teams that have won a World Cup in actual competitions. Thanks.

oh Nigeria in Argentina's group...I have no idea how good they are...i think they are not as good as they used to be

[hutch]

group H also group of the weak

[hutch]

hmm.. actually Mexico/Brazil/Cameroon is not too shabby a group
