World Cup Draw - pre

One of those days I genuinely can't wait for, the World Cup draw is upon us. One look at the four pots and you just know there's going to be some bloody brilliant ties. There are a couple of near certainties; there will one impossibly hard group in which a pre-tournament favourite will crash out; there will be one unbeleivably shite group containing a team that will jam its way to the semi finals; France and Netherlands will be drawn together.

I'd like to see England draw some of the more unpredictable teams, mainly to provide some good variation and a range of game tempos before the knockouts. And nobody wants a big African side or a team with Premiership stars, I think it's safe to say.

Dream Group:
England
North Korea
Nigeria
Greece

Nightmare Group:
England
Australia
Ivory Coast
Portugal

My hope is, by predicting this now, I rule out the possibility of this actually happening.
