2006 World Cup Seedings

Crocker

POT ONE Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England, Spain, France, Italy and Mexico

POT TWO Poland, Sweden, Holland, Czech Rep, Portugal, Switzerland, Ukraine and Croatia

POT THREE Serbia and Montengreo, Australia, Paraguay, Ecudor, Saudi Arabia, Iran , Japan and South Korea

POT FOUR Togo, Ivory Coast, Angola, Tunisia, Ghana, Costa Rica, U.S.A and Trinidad & Tobago

Two countries from the same continent cannot play each other in the group apart from Europe where no more 2 countries in the group

Crocker

The hardest we could get is something like Holland, Paraguay and the Ivory Coast which isnt too bad and the easiest we could get would be something like Switzerland, Iran and Trinidad & Tobago

I was suprised to see that England was seeded second(only behind Brazil)

The Phantom

Their not really seeded, appart from Pot One. I was a little suprised England got seeded. I thought maybe Holland or Portugal would have been seeded.

I thought Serbia and Montenegro where in a pot of their own, where they fill a gap to make sure there's no more than two European sides in any one group.

I look forward as always to the draw, where I can work out who Wales would have had if they'd have qualified!

Crocker

Serbia will basically fill the gap where them other countries in pot 3 arent and the reasons Holland and Portugal werent seeded are Holland didnt qualify for the last world cup and Portugal havent done anything in the world cup for 20 years

The Phantom

Fair point on Holland and Portugal.

How funny is it that the European Champions didn't qualify.

Crocker

I actually got it wrong with the seedings the Africans are with he South Americans and Serbia, and also Australia are in the same pot as the asians and CONCAF

By the way Brazil will be in Group F and Germany in Group A, and the Germans will also play the 1st game of the tournament in a break from tradition

I actually noticed that Greece wasn't there Deadly D. Kinda sad.

Looks like I'm rooting for my Azzurri this time!

Crocker

Greece are pretty poor really, if you look at their team not many of them would get into the other European sides that got through

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.
