#2 \| 192 days ago hskrdave (+)	Germany not in Yet? I need to stop using them in predictions until they make it then. US will be in.

Germany will get in if they win on the road against Russia in their next game. But that will be tough. Russia and Germany are separated by 1 point in their group. Russia should win at home, which would vault them to first in the group ahead of Germany. So this is a big deal. One of these teams is getting in, the other is going to have to win a playoff to get in.

Argentina is in 5th place, which means they'll get to play a play off against whoever finishes in 4th place from CONCACAF. That would be either USA, Mexico, Honduras or Costa Rica. Man, I don't want to be that 4th place team from CONCACAF, because whoever it is their chances of beating Argentina are slim to none.

#12 \| 180 days ago celticfc411 (+)	The way Argentina has been playing, they are far from a lock against the 4th place team in CONCACAF.

#13 \| 179 days ago khancoollovzu (+)	it was great when brazil trashed argentina

#14 \| 168 days ago martin_ashie (+)	It is our prayer that Ghana will do better than, they did in the last world cup 4 years ago. For the world to know that African soccer has come of age.

Or is it just a blind draw, meaning we could end up seeing Portugal playing France, and automatically knocking a big name out of South Africa?

Yeah, back in September FIFA announced that they would use seeding to keep the bigger teams from playing each other. The 8 teams (Russia, Greece, Ukraine, France, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal and Ireland) will be seeded according to the FIFA world rankings as of October 16th. The top four teams will be in one pot and the bottom four teams in a 2nd pot. That would mean that,for example, Russia will play either Ukraine, Ireland, Bosnia or Slovenia and wouldn't play France, Greece or Portugal.

Thanks for the update though, I must have skimmed over that
