Preliminary Draw of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

[Sullivinho]

Could have had France, Serbia or Turkey from pot 2. Sweden ain't a bad result.

Germany. Not the worst. Not the best.

[BonnieShels]

Group e is **** poor

[Cuyahoga]

Peter Collins is absolutely brutal as the presenter.

[Noelys Guitar]

Delaney will be over the moon

[tetsujin1979]

initial reaction -tough top two seeds, weak bottom three seeds.

[Sullivinho]

Ouch. I'd have wanted to avoid Spain and Germany in equal measure.

[Fixer82]

BALLS! We're going for a play-off again so

[Sullivinho]

Spain and France in the same group. Nightmare for everyone else in that boat and a powerhouse lookin' at the playoffs already. (Yeah, I'm thinkin' playoffs)

[Noelys Guitar]

Some great matches to look forward to. All our matches have been very close with Germany. Really like the group. Tough but Germany and Austria is a derby. Sweden can beat us and we can beat them. Austria are so-so. I believe I saw Delaney dancing on the table. Big TV deals for the FAI.

We will NOT finish ahead of Germany. They will be clinical in all their other games and get the results they need.

Thats the fear i have of sweden too, im worried by how clinical they are too in getting the required results.

I'm worried by this group now. We will do well to get 2nd.

initial reaction -tough top two seeds, weak bottom three seeds.

Group was looking very decent until Sweden and Germany came out. Would have preferred Slovakia or Slovenia to the Swedes. Germans will probably walk qualification as they usually do.
