Luckiest country in the draw???? Who else...France! Closely followed by England...I hate football!

aflumpire

yet we have held the rugby league, union, cricket, motocycle, netball and womens basketball world championships in the last 10 years.

yeah, thats not soccer, but there are more junior soccer players then most other sports here now. And with the government investing tens of millions of dollars into the game and bidding for the 2018 or 2022 world cup finals, we are going to be a country to look out for in the future.

Dont laugh yet; we made 14th earlier this year, we are now sitting at 18th or 20th....but just watch in a couple of decades

once we hold the FIFA world cup (ok, that may take a 100 years), then Australia will have truly dominated the sporting world.

1: Apart from Union...who cares....
2: As are many countries
3: Still makes 13 better than you
4: LOL

David Beckham has torn his achilles tendon and could miss the World Cup.

He will miss the World Cup, they say he is out for 8 months, so he will definately miss the World Cup

good beckham is just a big crybaby

England to win

Come on England :)

he probably would have hindered our chances tbh

beckham? course he wud

beckhams a great embassador for the sport and for the country, yeah okay he's a little older now but I still wouldn't mind having him play when crouch does, he's still got a peach of a right boot, bit harsh to be hating him for no reason, at least he isn't a cheating diver and actually plays by the rules, unlike some of the superstars we see around...cough...henry...cough...drogba..etc

Unlucky Becks

Suppose hes right, miss ya becks
