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:

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:
