Here are the 32 countries that have qualified:

EUROPE
Holland

Switzerland
Germany
Russia
Bosnia & Herzegovina
England
Spain
Greece
Portugal
France
Croatia

SOUTH AMERICA
Brazil

Algeria


The final draw for the 2014 World Cup will be held at Costa do Sauípe Resort, Mata de São João in Bahia on 6 December 2013,[32] at 13:00 local time (UTC−3).[33]

The 32 qualified teams will be divided into pots. The seeded pot (Pot 1) will contain the hosts Brazil and the seven best-ranked qualified teams according to the October 2013 FIFA World Rankings, including Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, and Switzerland.[34] Uruguay will also be in Pot 1 if it qualifies; otherwise, Netherlands will be placed in Pot 1.[34] The other pots will be based on geographic and sports criteria.

Now that would be the group of death.

It certainly would be for France.

Under 2 hours to go. Who's excited or nervous about our World Cup draw.

Re: 2014 FIFA World Cup Draw

Neither for me ED, it's going to be tough for us no matter what.

We're just not technical enough, and coupled with our lack of genuine quality with the ball we find ourselves on the wrong side of the refs and always trying to grind which is a horrible combination in World Cup football.

Re: 2014 FIFA World Cup Draw

We are in Group B

Spain
Chile
Australia
Netherlands

Going to be a monumental task. We have the 2 finalists from the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It will be an early exit for us.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Re: 2014 FIFA World Cup Draw

Can we score a goal in any of those games?

Re: 2014 FIFA World Cup Draw

Wow, tough group! We will struggle to score, but I'm just happy to be there. On the flipside, very happy with Greece's group - no excuse not to make the round of 16 being in probably the weakest group.

The French will be laughing in their croissants this morning, after having snuck into the World Cup at the last minute and now being handed a marshmallow soft draw.

England, Italy and Uruguay is a very tricky group for Italy - any team with Lius Suarez in it must be respected, and England have enough quality to trouble anyone on a given day.

We won't win a game and probably not even score. I hope we don't embarrass ourselves.

That I will probably only be getting up at 2am a couple of times.

That's what I'm thinking to chef it's going to be a tough ask. As long as we give it a go that is the main thing. Would a win and a draw be enough for us to qualify. I don't believe it always is as goal difference can come into play as well. Even a win and 2 losses will not get us through.
