Draw Procedure

Hosts South Africa will be automatically positioned as A1; the other seeded teams will be drawn into the other groups B-H, but will always be in position “1” of their group

Groups will be drawn from A to H and the positions in the group will be drawn for Pots 2 to 4

Geographical criteria will also be respected, meaning that no two teams from the same confederation will be drawn in the same group (except European teams, where a maximum of two will be in a group). For example, South Africa cannot play the African teams from Pot 3 and Argentina and Brazil cannot be drawn against the three remaining South American teams.

Thus, Pot 1 will be drawn first in order from B to H. Then Pot 2 will be drawn from A to H.

Pot 3 brings up geographic clashing prevention, thus the first two African teams drawn will be placed into the Groups headed by Brazil and Argentina. The first South American team to be drawn from Pot 3 will be placed in Group A with South Africa.

Pot 4 will be drawn from A to H, geographic clash prevention is overlooked in the case of European teams.

U.S. TV Schedule

Below is the entire World Cup group rounds schedule, with times posted in Eastern time and the appropriate US TV station.

Since I know that there are many PA readers in the UK and Australia, here's how to translate:
EDT is UTC-4
British Summer Time is UTC+1
Australian EST is UTC+10

So for each common start time:
7:30 AM EDT = 12:30 PM BST = 9:30 PM AEST
10:00 AM EDT = 3:00 PM BST = 12:00 AM AEST (+1 day)
2:30 PM EDT = 7:30 PM BST = 4:30 AM AEST (+1 day)
Complete World Cup Group Stage Schedule

    You posted a video of the incident, but I guess you were too busy to watch it. He kicked his foot. His toe didn't barely touch anything, he kicked him. He didn't dive, he was knocked out of his stride because he was running at the time. It was a foul, and therefore a penalty. There's nothing to debate, it's one of the clearest penalties I've ever seen.

    Yeah, and the laws of the game are pretty clear on the matter of professional fouls. Or "denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity...", or what-have-you.

    I never said it wasn't a foul. I said he wasn't kicked.

    At no point in that entire video does a force of impact come from the direction the keeper is sliding, if you actually watched the slow motion angles.

    That has nothing to do with anything. If you stick your foot out and trip someone up it's a foul. The rules don't need to be changed just because you can't understand them once every 4 years.

    You posted a video of the incident, but I guess you were too busy to watch it. He kicked his foot. His toe didn't barely touch anything, he kicked him. He didn't dive, he was knocked out of his stride because he was running at the time.

    nope

    You may as well try to argue that the sun is made of custard. The replay speaks for itself, it was a foul, end of story.

    I never said it wasn't a foul. I said he wasn't kicked.

    At no point in that entire video does a force of impact come from the direction the keeper is sliding, if you actually watched the slow motion angles.

    That has nothing to blah blah soccer blah

    k

    You won't really know until you watch the game. Let the hate come naturally, don't force it.
    Sage advice.

    Unfortunately, I probably won't watch it. It's on at 4.30am here, and unless I want to watch it on tape delay, I am unlikely to see it.

    It was a clear scoring oppurtunity taken away, since no defenders would of been capable of stopping him.

    Thus a red.


    Also in general vuvuzelas and South Africans suck so fuck em

    Leaving ten minutes early FROM YOUR HOME NATION PLAYING IN THE FUCKIN WORD CUP

    Hell, that slide, even if he didn't get the players foot, he would of still been impeding him.

    Even if he didn't trip him


    because that's what happened

    the goalie tripped him

    frankly in regards of the mexico france team i have a feeling france will win it

    mexico will have a few frustrted players and they'll start to play "dirty"

    wouldnt surprise me if they take more yellows. (which always shames me)

    frankly i'm not cheering for either team as i like them both :p

    it was a red card

    you cannot impede a goal from being scored as the last man by fouling the man

    you especially cannot do it in the box

    how is this a question

    I think it's a question because some folks just aren't familiar with professional fouls.

    The only thing I'll say about the red card was that it didn't need the embellishment, yeah you got tripped you didn't get sniped.

    This was my feeling as well.

    He definitely ought to have been warned, although I think it stopped short of being bookable.

    I'll be sure to applaud and remember the name of the first person I see in this year's world cup who doesn't embellish a fall. Assuming it'll happen at least once.

    The only teams so far that have been really bad about the diving are Germany and Portugal.

    Even Italy wasn't awful about it (except that bitch de rossi)

    Also you must not of watched NK vs Brazil.

    I don't really take note of embellishments unless they're excessive.

    They only dives I've seen were from germany and Ronaldo.

    The only american who dives is Donovan

    Not many Asians do it either.

    It's mostly a Central/South American/European thing.
