World Cup Group Review

Alright, the greatest event to ever grace this planet is back after 4 damn years. Last night the draw took place to determine teams for the group stages.

My Group of Death would go to Group C which consists of Argentina, Ivory Coast, Serbia & Montenegro and Netherlands. Crespo, Drogba, Kezman and Robben. All excellent Chelsea forwards fighting it out. All strong countries with great players. I personally for hope the Serbs and Ivory Coast to triumph. All the matches for this group must be fantastic to watch.

All the talk is of how England managed to get an easy group. And they would probably go through. Paraguay's power era of the great Chilavert had long gone. I'm not sure if Dwight Yorke still plays Trinidad & Tobago. The main challenger would be Sweden. But as most Swedes play in the EPL, their experience would not be enough to clear the England hurdle. This group is too easy.

Representing Asia is Iran, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Australia. No one expects much but I would love to see some upsets and maybe a quarter final place for an Asian country if we're lucky. Japan vs Brazil could be a good match as I'm sure the legendary Zico have some tricks to stop Brazil. And maybe Australia or Japan can covet the 2nd spot to progress. Iran can bank on the fact that Angola is a first time participant and try and to qualify for the next stage. Saudi is up against Spain and Ukraine so it is a lost cause there. South Korea has a rather easy group as well so. And as Togo is another 1st time African country so a 2nd placing is also possible.

The rest of the groups should not see any major upsets. Except maybe Ghana with Essien who could cause some damage in Group E. Germany, Costa Rica, Italy, Czech Republic, Portugal, Mexico, Spain and Ukraine should progress easily. The dark horse would be USA and Ghana.

Come on all Chelsea players!

P.S. Don't get injured
