World Cup 2010 Draw

Singapore have drawn against a group consist of 3 west-asian countries, avoiding the likes of Australia, China, Korea and Japan. And the 3 west-asian countries are Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Uzbekistan. I fancy Singapore's chances for a shot in the 4th round.

The draw was indeed very kind to us as the other groups have at least 2 asian powerhouses.

Group 1 - Australia, China, Iraq and Qatar (Group of Death to me)
Group 2 - Japan, Bahrain, Oman and Thailand
Group 3 - South Korea, North Korea, Jordan and Turkmenistan (both Korean countries to advance, but the match between them look salivating)
Group 4 - Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Uzbekistan
Group 5 - Iran, Kuwait, U.A.E and Syria

As for England, i think the whole world was not prepared for the country that knock them out of the European Championship Qualifiers just recently. Croatia again. Look like England is going to have their revenge sooner than expected. Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra complete the group.
