[Archived] So Are You Involved In The World Cup?

[Shaddy]

Australia for me Hope we draw England in the group stage, to guarantee that we get a match against them.

I am in Paris for the forseeable future, and if I am still here come the time of the World Cup, I'll be taking that once in a lifetime (hope it's not another 37 years for Australia to qualify though) opportunity to see the Socceroos play in the World Cup finals.

Almost forgot... just had a look at the pools for the draw and, does anyone know why Serbia & Montenegro are in a "Special pot"

So you don't end up with 3 teams from Europe in the one group, and as they were the lowest ranked European team, they get a "special" pot.

England supporter but have my ties to France and the USA so they are both there as well. Sadly, the country my mother is from, Guyana, is not, and probably will nevr be, in the hat for the draw. Though Trinidad and Tobago is about as close as you can get to Guyana as far as West Indian countries are concerned so I'll be looking out for them and good old Yorke this summer.
