Yes, I am a geek! Yes, I can't wait until the REAL draw on Dec 4th or 5th. But I am fit to be tied because the world cup is less than 200 days away and here I go again taking the whole family to experience the Group stage up close and personal. (6/7 - 6/23 - all Capetown games except for the 1st Durban game)
So I decided to do a mock draw and see what the games I have already purchased would look like, so here I go.
GROUP A: South Africa, Holland, Chile, South Korea
(This will never happen, because it is way too tough for the host country. FIFA will definitely use warm balls for this selection)
GROUP B: Germany, Slovenia Cameroon, USA
(Not a good draw for my home country, but a very exciting group nonetheless.)
GROUP C: France, Switzerland, Algeria, New Zealand
(This one has a French flare, other than the Kiwis)
GROUP D: Argentina, Serbia, Ghana, North Korea
(Not too bad for Maradona aka el Dona)
GROUP E: England, Denmark, Nigeria, Japan
(Figures I give Blighty an easy ride! Damn!)
GROUP F: Brasil, Slovakia, Ivory Coast, Mexico
(The group of death????)
GROUP G: Spain, Greece, Paraguay, Honduras
( Not bad for La Furia Roja, but ugggh that boring Greece again. Aupa!!!)
GROUP H: Italy, Portugal, Uruguay, Australia
(Another group of death!!! oh yeah!)
And my games well....
The opener in Capetown: Chile v South Korea (not bad! Chile is a sleeping giant and love the South Korean fans, especially their rendition of Ode to Joy!
The Durban game, that I could sell... Argentina v Serbia!! Fabuloso! Definitely a keeper hypothetically.
Back to Capetown with the rest of the games - Brasil v Slovakia. Sizzzzling!
France v Algeria - oooh a heated battle and I have a soft spot for les Bleu. Allez!!
The closer: Honduras v Greece. Hmmm will be supporting the underdogs catrachos from Concacaf.
Now if this came to pass, I still have my chance with US soccer for a US game and I would have to go back into FIFA to buy a Spain game, but not bad.
Well this is all BS any, but it sure was fun and wet my appetite for interim.
More to come when the real deal occurs! Wish me luck!!!!!!!!
