FIFA World Cup Mock Draw

In this mock draw we changed the format from the expected format of what was used in 2006.  In these format we paired African and CONCACAF unseeded teams together in Pot B and put unseeded South American and Asia/Oceania teams in Pot C and had the unseeded European teams in Pot D.  This is how the draw turned out.

Group A - South Africa, United States, Paraguay, Portugal
Group B - Germany, Algeria, Korea Republic, Greece
Group C - Spain, Cameroon, Uruguay, Denmark
Group D - Brazil, Ghana, Korea DPR, Serbia
Group E - England, Nigeria, Chile, Netherlands
Group F - France, Mexico, Japan, Slovakia
Group G - Italy, Ivory Coast, Australia, Switzerland
Group H - Argentina, Honduras, New Zealand, Slovenia

Just like we did with the previous mock draw we picked group winners and runners up and played out the knockout stage of the tournament.

In our next installment during Mock Draw Mania week here at International Football Talk we will use Option 3 that FIFA could possibly use.  This is less talked about but makes more sense based on geography.  unseeded CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams will be put in a pot of 6 to create the Americas pot.  These teams would be drawn into groups not containing the seeded Americas teams.  Then there would be the unseeded European pot.  But then we would place all remaining teams from Africa, Asia, and Oceania together in a Pot of 10.  The seeded South American teams would draw a team each from Asia/Oceania and then Africa.  Meanwhile South Africa would draw a team from the Asia/Oceania side of the pot but not from Africa.  To adhere to the team from the same confederation aside from Europe be placed in the same group.  European seeded teams would draw a team of each full pot from pots B, C, and D.  The next mock draw will be up within the next day.
