MONEEEEYYYYYYY!!!

Final draw:

A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
B - Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia
C - Colombia, Greece, Cote d'Ivoire, Japan
D - Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
E - Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras
F - Argentina, Bosnia, Iran, Nigeria
G - Germany, Ghana, United States, Portugal
H - Belgium, Algeria, South Korea, Russia

Shouldn't the final then be USA-Germany or Japan?

A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
B - Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia
C - Colombia, Greece, Cote d'Ivoire, Japan
D - Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
E - Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras
F - Argentina, Bosnia, Iran, Nigeria
G - Germany, Ghana, United States, Portugal
H - Belgium, Algeria, South Korea, Russia

Well I couldnt see Holland going to the quarters. But even if they survive this, they will play brazil in the next round. I dont get why Hollland always has these mad draws! Next WC will almost kickoff with the same match as it ended with the last.

Still, if they do kick out Brazil, it will be the biggest scalp of all time. 

Anyway, I predicted France to go with Switserland in an easy group and Brazil and Germany to get seperated. What are the odds.

USA aint a football country, they couldnt care less, and Japan aint a genuine football nation like Brazil and Germany are.

Boro, you're lucky you'll play another European in Manaus. Manaus and Fortaleza are probably the worst cities for Europeans. Manaus is in the middle of the Amazon forest, while Fortaleza is an Equatorial city, a natural oven.

Belo Horizonte may be OK, and São Paulo may be cold for Brazilian standards (between 10 and 20 C during winter usually).

Yeah, but like I said, Brazil - Germany is the seminfinal if both win their group and advance that far. So not a real conspirancy going on.

Yeah. To be honest we could play in 16c and get battered by most..

What date and time is the opening game?

USA aint a football country, they couldnt care less, and Japan aint a genuine football nation like Brazil and Germany are.

USA has more than 300 million people. They have certainly more football fans than the likes of Holland and Portugal. Think about all the latinos that live there.

USA and Argentina are by far the countries that will bring more tourists to Brazil during the WC according to the tour agencies.

I played a couple of Brazilians in Natal in the summer, was doable but hot and it was the only match I lost when I played locals on holiday.

Still, with van Gaal, JC and HSWHW Holland always has a chance.

The temperatures are still high in the northeast during the winter.

Tourist money is peanuts compared to broadcast/beer/sport contracts.

Hence for sponsors, it's more attractive the final will be Brazil-Germany. Brazil a nation with almost 200? million people vs the declining but extremely wealthy krauts.

This rule should certainly be adopted.

There's no winter in the northern cities. Fortaleza, Salvador, Manaus, Recife are very hot all year long.

Porto Alegre and Curitiba may be cold or very cold, close to 0c. São Paulo may be around 15c or less.

The others may be around 20 or hotter.

yeah thats worrying, but at least we got an "easy" way until the semi final ^^

Some of you have misunderstood how the draw works, the 2 teams that qualify from each group go into opposite halves of the draw. Anybody can play anybody before the final & in the final.

i hope you are wrong

Those cities will be between 25 and 37C and very, very humid. Plus they're all beach cities, which is nice.

It would be good for Germany to play in Curitiba or Porto Alegre, cold cities with many German descendants. Have a look at the next stages to see where you'll play.

between 25 and 37C  

Argentina were really lucky. They will be based here in Belo Horizonte (at the HQ of Atlético, the Champion of América ), where they will play their opener. Then they will go to São Paulo (less than one hour flight distance)and Porto Alegre (close to Argentina and brazilian fans love to lick their balls there). Also they have the easiest way to semifinals.
