Massive for England to avoid those 4. Makes their route to the quarters a lot more realistic.

I'm already nervous for this as teams like us will have their tournament pretty much decided by the draw. More importantly than the teams that stay in our group are the teams that stay in the group next to ours that we'll be facing in the round of 16 in case we go past the group.

I'd rather get Spain, Costa Rica, Japan and stay next to a group of Russia, Peru, Iran and Morocco than a group of Peru, Iran, Morocco and stay next to a group of Brazil, Spain, Sweden and Japan as that would mean there would be no chance of getting to the quarters.

I've clearly given this too much thought. I've done about 50 draw simulations here :wenger:

Not far wrong.

Not bad draw for England so far considering the Ro16 will most likely be against Poland/Colombia.

What did Linekar say that made Motson burst out laughing a few minutes ago?
