Translation please, this is too be@nerish

1st- Cafu shows the Brazilian name 'cause that wasn't draw, after that the FIFA employee shows the names every name.
2nd- And every single time he mysteriously takes them down out of the sight of the camera and public for a couple of seconds to then show them up.
3rd- They compare this to how the Brazilian does it, and she always has the paper in sight of everybody.
4th- They tell us to look how the papers of the girl always rollback as they should 'cause they were rolled in the ball and how they papers of the FIFA employee don't rollback.

Hi Jodelo, does your name mean " it" in spanish?

[Rogue]

Mono isn't a soccer fan at all otherwise he would've been glad with the draw results imho. Picklebreaths got the easiest group of all it seems like, Belgium got a band of wonderkids but they're inexperienced and unproven in the world cup, and Russians always get screwed in the world cup for some reason, getting eliminated in the qualification stage most times. Group D is gonna be a dogfight imho. I think either England or Italy would get eliminated in the group stage, the game is played in South America so Uruguay has sort of homecourt advantage, so I believe Suarez/Cavani and teammates will survive the group stage at least, and my prediction is England. Italy was the runner up on Euro cup last year, they're in much better form than England I think. Italy got eliminated in the group stage last world cup so I don't expect it to happen twice in a row to them, it's time for them to bounce back a bit imho

Not bad ^

Here is Blatter overseeing everything.

Did FIFA fix the World Cup draw? Or is it a fantastic hackers’ coup?

oops, sorry

why exactly do they do drawings? why can't they rank them 1-8 than 16-9 than 24-17 and finally 32-25?

He mad

[BanditHiro]

He mad

not really it just seem illogical...shouldn't they want the top 16 teams in the world to make into the next round and not have 3 or even 4 top 16 teams in the same group while having lesser teams joined together?

idk i'm new to this so i'm pretty sure there is corrupt reason why they do drawings instead of doing it by rankings.

Thank God they dont go according to the rankings, because FIFA rankings are really re ed

Rank what? I don't get it.

[DAF86]

Rank what? I don't get it.

Do the tournamnet according to the rankings. For example: number 1 would have: N°32, N° 24 and N°16 on its group.

We know this will never happen mainly because it doesn't take in consideration the difference in the numbers of games teams play in their respective federations. For example, Concacaf teams will have a huge advantage because they have the Gold cup every two years. Consider Japan's rankings right now compared to the USA, it would be pretty darn unfair for a better team with better players to play against superior teams. No offense to CONCACAF teams of course, but they're going to benefit heavily if this ever happens.

The tournament is fine as it is. People should just stop with the conspiracy BS..Consider Brazil's pssobile path to the finals..
