World Cup Draw: USA Gets England, Slovenia and Algeria in Their Group

Yesterday's big event was the World Cup Drawing to see who will play who in the first round of the World Cup in June. The USA had a good year in Football and their future now depends on how well they do in the World Cup. The USA got England, Slovenia and Algeria as they are part of group C. Now that to me is good news. We won't beat England but we should do well against the other two. The rules of course allow the top two in each group to go on to the next round. I like our chances. Don't love them, just like them.

As for the other groups, Italy looks like the favorite in their group as they have Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia. Seems like a cake walk for the defending champs. The Most successful team in tournament history, Brazil, has a challenge as they got Portugal in their group. The other teams in the group Ivory Coast and North Korea are not a challenge but Portugal and Brazil will be the match to watch in first round. France gets lucky again getting into a group with host country South Africa and Mexico and Uruguay. Give them another handball and they will be champs.

Looks like a good World Cup coming up. Let's go USA.
