2010 World cup SEEDING

Post by Nikos_Goumas »

Fifa wont confirm these seedings and pots until december 2, but this is the most likely pots after looking at fifa regulations n taking into considering geographic facts.

POT 1-Brazil, Spain, Argentina, France, England, Italy, Germany, South Africa
POT 2- Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, Slovenia, Greece, Slovakia, Serbia, Switzerland
POT 3- USA, Mexico, Honduras, South Korea, North Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand
POT 4- Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Nigeria, Algeria


if this is the case we cannot have australia n new zealand in the same group,

however we could see ITALY, GREECE, AUSTRALIA in the same group which most people here in adelaide will get excited bout

Ideally for Australia i think this is the best group for them

South Africa
Slovenia
Australia
Nigeria

which is unlikely tho

pot 4 seems stronger than pot 3 ?

anyway, what is it with everybody feeling the need to whine about seedings?

in my humble opinion, though it would be exciting, it would be irrational & unfair to have a group of Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Italy & another group of Honduras, New Zealand, Algeria, N Korea for example

just my opinion, not that is matters

but i would like to know why its not considered fair according to some ? if they can give me a compelling argument about why the 2nd group is good for football or how the 1st is just i would like to hear it, and perhaps ill change my mind

its not really that hard to comprehend.
the pots 2-4 are not ranked so one cannot be 'stronger' than the other.

its just a form of grouping wouldnt make a single difference at all if they were around the other way.

only pot 1 are seeded nations. the other 3 pots are geographically/continentally alligned..............

It would be no different to manchester united being drawn against Chelsea in the FA Cup whilst Hull get drawn with Bournemouth.

Luck of the draw... you still have to do the business on the park.

Considering South Africa qualified for the tournament before you even played your 1st qualifying game, id say they are well positioned int that Pot to NOT be the weakest team which only leaves......................England :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well if there were such a country, i dont see why they couldnt if they went through the same process as everyone else, but you'll probably find there might be a few Macedonians in the Greek squad since Macedonia is in Greece :wink: :D
