I'd rather just not get a pot one side at all. Can that be arranged? Do we still have FIFA bargaining chips from Henrygate? :)

When Ireland's ball pops up into Spain's group, right on cue the cameras will capture Blatter, laughing his head off as he shouts into the ear of some lackey 'that'll serve the miserable whiners right'.
The most dangerous team of all is probably Belgium and thankfully they are a third seed. Always best not to draw a re-emerging team.
It's never happened, and it won't happen today. We have the same chance of getting Spain and England, as we have of getting Norway and Greece. And that applies to everybody.Quote:

BBC Red button, SSN now.
20.29 the European section is on at according to BBC.
ya is it on any channel though DI
If FIFA wanted to hand-pick a group, all they need to do is put them up on a PC, and choose what they want in 30 seconds. But it has to be held in public, and the balls have to be drawn out one-by-one, as has always been the case. It's a completely fair and random draw, and the conspiracy theories that go around, rarely happen in reality.Quote:

Ab, what concept?
Jaysus this Donegal V Kildare match might go to penos ;)
The WC as administered by that shower.
Ronaldo will be the man to blame if we get a bad draw - not the first time he's been caught handling someone else's balls but he still claims he never knew it was a bloke.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7374317.stm
At least we now know it was Ronaldo who ate all of the pies. All of them. Seen legging it past the salad bar.
Are SSN going to the draw or what?

RTÉ 2 live now.
Aaaaaah everyone's talking at once
Group A looks like one to avoid so far.
Scotland and Wales in Group A
And Group E one to avoid I think
an on-screen update with the teams drawn so far in each group would be nice
Why are there no on screen graphics?
Group C
Austria, Faroes and kazakstan.
