I was so hoping for something spectacular from the draw today.But there was some disappointment. First off, no video. Come on! And that too when Charlize Theron was looking amazing. Second, no serious group of death. That was sad. But there was some respite, Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal. That's a brutal combination and if Drogba has anything to say, that will just make it more interesting. My only hope is Portugal does to Brazil what it always does to England.
Speaking of England, US and they in the smae group. Sounds interesting but is actually very banal. US coach Bradley wants 1950 spirit whe US last beat England. You gotta be kidding. He wasn't born then. Why has he got to create a rivalry where there isn't one?
The dummy draw actually had a funny moment. When Charlize pulled out France, she actually called out Ireland. Yikes, that must have hurt in Dublin. Anyways, at least now this nonsense can come to an end and we can get down to serious business. June cannot come sooner.

Draw ...
France v Germany in the league stage? That's a possibility. The draw id on Friday and FIFA did something nasty. They placed France in the unseeded pot, apparently because of Henry's cheating tactics against Ireland. Speaking of which, clever Henry knows FIFA cannot allow all the bull that Ireland FA are throwing at FIFA and so he accepts hat he cheated and tries to pull the woll over our eyes. Not so fast!
Ireland went to FIFA and asked them to add a 33rd team to the draw, namely them. Are they serious? 33 teams? Can you imagine the statistical nightmare that may follow and every team in the history of football wanting to be treated fairly. Hell, even England might come out and protest against the "Hand of God" again and book a place in the final.
That reminds me, Maradona is apparently warned that if he comes to the draw, he will be kicked out. That's a nice way to talk to a legend, but he did it first. Nasty fellow. No wonder Argentina sucks and Tevez wants out.
Berbatov got a haircut, no more hairband and long streaks slowing his pace. And who knew he was balding. Fatherhood seems to have brought hm down to earth. Hope that form he showed at Spurs returns to aid United.
