POT ONE
Germany (hosts),Brazil (holders),Argentina,England,France,Italy,Mexico,Spain

POT TWO
Australia,Angola,Ghana,Ivory Coast,Togo,Tunisia,Ecuador,Paraguay

POT THREE
Croatia,Czech Republic,Netherlands,Poland,Portugal,Sweden,Switzerland,Ukraine

POT FOUR
Iran,Japan,Saudi Arabia,South Korea,Costa Rica,Trinidad & Tobago,US

Special pot: Sebria & Montenegro

Since Serbia n Montenegro are in a seperate pot due to the fact that 3 European teams cant b drawn together, does that mean that they are guaranteed to be drawn with either Argentina, Brazil or Mexico from Pot 1, as in Pot 3 all the teams are European?

With Netherlands and Czech not seeded, the scenario doesn't look good for U.S. Since it's from the same continent, U.S. can't draw Mexico in the same group, so it's definitely going to face a tough team from Pot One and may get Czech or Netherlands from Pot 3.

Also with the two above not seeded and only Mexico being the weak link from Pot One, we should have a Group of Death for sure.

Mexico did not deserve to be above the u.s IMO.

Cnt believe England were seeded second!

Hopefully we can be drawn with the relatively easy teams;

Best case scenario :
England
Angola
Switzerland
Trinidad & Tobago

Worst case scenario :
England
Ivory Coast
Netherlands
South Korea/Japan/USA

Africa's contestants look weaker than the past, at least on paper. No Nigeria or Senegal.

True. Theres a few more unseeded countries that'd be pretty dodgy aswell; Czech Republic/Portugal/Sweden/Ukraine

ESPN's soccernet is updating the draw live. Also ESPN2 will start broadcasting in 45 minutes (12:00PM PST), at least from the schedule.
