I’m not so sure, he seems to be more of a 1980s fashion model than a football player nowadays. Even if Beckham does play what good will it do? He will only play 5 minutes. Is he that good?

Another question is can Maradona last the tournament without being banned? And how on earth did New Zealand qualify in the first place?

Theron’s attempts at banter during the draw were awkward. The drawmaster (I missed his name) would comment on some matchups, referring to past group pairings/matches between the teams, and her attempts to comment on this didn’t really work…“How old do you think I am?” in response to mention of the 1960 England-US game, or “Any more helpful tips?”

Overall, though, it’s on the level of eating crackers in bed…

I am, however, tired of hearing about how good Slovenia based on the face that “They beat Russia!” Well, they lost to Russia too, but managed to lose in a more beneficial manner than Russia lost to them. So let’s ease up on that point. Also, they came through the group with San Marino, Northern Ireland, and Poland. None have been lighting the world on fire, no disrespect to them. The shocking form of the Czechs opened the door for Slovakia and Slovenia who wisely took advantage.

Good draw for the US and England (my teams). I think England will get out of this group, I’m not sure what I think of the US chances. It will be fun. Can’t wait.

I think it was a good draw for a team that easily could have been in the toughest group. Probably odds on favorites to be actually.
We have to win the group.…or face Germany.
