loup Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Dec 9 draw No news that I have found about how the groups will be drawn - or which are the seeded team They are yet announce how teams wiil be ranked or how pots will be formed based on 2002 rules here are the seeds (as of last month) - defending champions and hosts are seeded automatically- the rest based on last three mundial results with more weight on more cuurent cups 1. Brazil - 63.67 (0.00) (qualified) 2. Spain - 48.83 (0.00) 3. Mexico - 47.33 (-0.34) (qualified) 4. Germany - 46.83 (+0.33) (qualified) 5. Argentina - 46.33 (-0.34) (qualified) 6. England - 45.83 (+0.50) (qualified) 6. Italy - 45.83 (+0.33) (qualified) 8. France - 44.67 (+0.34) (qualified) 9. Netherlands - 43.00 (0.00) (qualified) 10. United States - 41.67 (0.00) (qualified) I am assuming pots will be split geographically as per usual - Probably pretty good seed if you ask me you wil never get a perfect system Look how close the US is to being a 1 seed they have done remarkably well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loup Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 As regards allocation to the different pots, there will be eight seeded teams, among them Germany, who have already been assigned to Group A. The seven other seeds will be determined on 6 December by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup, on the basis of various criteria such as the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. The eight chosen seeds will be placed in Pot 1, and drawn as the first teams in Groups A to H, from left to right. As mentioned above, it has already been decided that Germany will play in Group A. The 24 remaining teams will then be assigned to Pots 2, 3 and 4 in such a way as to achieve the best possible geographical distribution between the groups. As soon as a team is drawn, another draw will be made to allocate this team its place in a group. Finally, so as to maintain the suspense to the end and most importantly, protect the integrity of the draw process, the order in which the pots will be drawn may be varied.

lamborghini Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 World Cup seeding confirmed by FIFA: These are the top seeds: POT ONE (FIFA ranking + perfomances during last 2 World Cups) Germany -> hosts Brazil -> holders Argentina England France Italy Mexico Spain Other teams: POT TWO (Oceania, Africa + rest of South America) Australia Angola Ghana Ivory Coast Togo Tunisia Ecuador Paraguay POT THREE (only European sides - to ensure there is no more than 2 UEFA sides per group) Croatia Czech Republic Netherlands Poland Portugal Sweden Switzerland Ukraine POT FOUR (Asia and CONCACAF + Serbia & M.) Iran Japan Saudi Arabia South Korea Costa Rica Trinidad & Tobago USA Sebria & Montenegro *** *** as they can't play against European teams from pot 1 they will get Brazil, Argentina or Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Serbia is going to get hosed It was not right that they were placed in that group - if anything there dhould have been a random draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montreal_Thrillos Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Serbia is going to get hosed It was not right that they were placed in that group - if anything there dhould have been a random draw they put them there cause they were the lowest european seed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Still - is that right? Why not just draw from all 9 teams - place 8 of them and then the left over team goes to the next pot - I think this is a better method after all even thought they are a lower ranked team they are group winners - they beat spain but are essentially 2 groups lower - not right in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphi Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Why not just draw from all 9 teams - place 8 of them and then the left over team goes to the next pot - I think this is a better method Let's imagine that we use this method and we end with one group looking like this:England Germany Netherlands USA and another one looking like this: South Korea Angola Trinidad&Tobago Ecuador That would be a bit upsetting don't you think?

dark_horse Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Oh well...you can't always have everything go your way. England is the perfect opponent for Sweden, we've played them before. We can do some serious damage to those prima donnas. :hypocrite: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
