A rubbing their hands: the drums ready for South Africa

It is the configuration of the four pots for the next World Cup draw on December 4. A book on what happens on Wednesday in the resolution of the play-offs in Europe, Africa and America, the places are already insured. In the hype one, the seedings are placed South Africa (for local status), Spain, Brazil, Argentina, England, Italy, Germany, and a place left for France or Holland (depending on the classification of Gaul to Ireland). The second bomb, as usual, will bring together eight teams in Europe: Denmark, Serbia, Slovakia and Switzerland have their place, while unresolved is the case of the Netherlands v Ireland, Bosnia / Portugal, Greece v Ukraine and Russia / Slovenia.

The South Americans shared third drum with African teams. Paraguay, Chile and (tentatively) Uruguay avoided in the first round to Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and the winner between Egypt / Algeria. This is probably the best crop of teams in the black continent finals ever seen. Finally, in the fourth drum are the representatives of Concacaf, sharing room with Asian and Oceanian. Mexico, United States and Honduras are with Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Australia and New Zealand. What if Costa Rica gave the bell and goes to the World? Well, FIFA would have to modify the last two raffles to avoid crosses between teams from the same confederation. My bet is that Ticos would be sent to the fourth drum and New Zealand, the sole representative of Oceania would go to third.

Now she's ready configuration of drums, it's time to rub his hands and let your imagination with high-powered duel. What I want to see games in the World? Personally, I would love to shock the world junior classics, such as Brazil - Ghana or Argentina - Nigeria. Also a couple of reissues of 1998 as a France - Italy or Paraguay - Chile. How about see a Uruguay - Australia? If we want a duel of old political wrangling, what this match that fate to Russia before U.S.? If we're Latino duels, I'd love to see Mexico addressed with Brazil or Argentina in the first round, teams who are often difficult in Copa America. What a Chile - Argentina, Bielsa now the other side? No doubt this will be a memorable World.
