Thanks SFiC
 
other than Mexico, China, and Nigeria possibly, any one we need to avoid?
 
 
LOL at the Pot 4. (if it were Men . . . )

Oh good lord, who's the host, I think i'm in love.
 
At least lust.
 
Edit: if she would just not say "controversy" that way .
 
Edit #2 KAY ABDO
 
I suck at google

 

[SoxFanInCali]

We can't draw Mexico, since they are from CONCACAF.
 
Sweden is ranked #5 in the world, so they are upset at not being seeded.  They would be a team to avoid.

Alex Morgan, Heather Mitts, and Monica Gonzalez (from Mexico) on the panel is definitely making up for Rob Stone.

 

[Luis Taint]

Alex Morgan can get it.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Almost Rob, almost, not mentioning Alex's health.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

How the hell did we get stuck in Winnepeg?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Why is that right hand woman in the actual draw  making comments such as "US wants to win this"

 

[SoxFanInCali]

US gets Nigeria.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

crap,
 
does that also mean we get Efan Ekoku to do color on tv? (NPI)

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Germany has gotten possibly the 2 worst teams in the draw.

 

[Luis Taint]

USA/Australia first match

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Australia was the best team in pot C, so it's a tough draw so far for the US.

 

[swiftaw]

Ha, they screwed it up

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ha, they screwed up the draw, putting Colombia and Brazil together.

 

[Luis Taint]

Nice fuck up FIFA

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Of course it's Sweden.
 
US in the Group of Death.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

A: Canada, New Zealand, China, Netherlands
B: Germany, Ivory Coast, Thailand, Norway
C: Japan, Cameroon, Ecuador, Switzerland
D: USA, Nigeria, Australia, Sweden
E: Brazil, Costa Rica, Korea Republic, Spain
F: France, Mexico, Colombia, England

Julie Foudy jokingly tweeted that the US got a tough draw for complaining about the tournament being played on artificial turf.
 
Of course, with FIFA involved, that actually isn't out of the question.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

2 days later and am still in  shock over the draw. We got arguably the best team in each pot.

I don't think Nigeria is the best in that pot (Kiwis would be my pick, though Mexico is good too), but it was a brutal draw.
The most pissed team in the tourney should be the Swedes. Probably should have been in pot 1,instead they get the G.O.D.
