Top Teams Face Rocky Road to Germany 2006

QUOTE
The draw for the qualification stages of the World Cup 2006 took place in Germany on Friday with countries from around the globe hoping for smooth routes to the finals. Europe’s top teams, however, had no such luck.

I'm sure the USA's qualifier in Grenada will end with the Yanqui's receiving a warm and friendly welcome.

The USA is always screwed during CONCACAF region qualifiers because they go to South American countries who have long memories and as a result get extremely hostile receptions, while at home, they're lucky to draw 30,000 apathetic fans for a match.

Other tasty matches that have interesting subtexts:

Greece v. Turkey
Ukraine v. Georgia
Albania v. Greece
Russia v. Latvia
Russia v. Estonia
England v. Wales
England v. Northern Ireland
Serbia & Montenegro v. Bosnia ohmy.gif ohmy.gif

Why didn't they put Croatia in the same group as Serbia and Bosnia? Then it really would be the "Group of Death".

I can't wait for the World Cup. I'm planning to go and follow England around. And Euro 2004 is only 6 months away in Portugal.
