World Cup's major sponsor Sony Music Entertainment unveiled a Global Music Contest to find the official song. Submissions will be opened on December 2, when everyone will be able to submit online their video of original song proposals. All submissions will be evaluated by the SuperSong judging team who will choose the Top 20 songs. A panel of experts from Sony and online fans will vote for their favorite songs to select the finalists. The winning song will be chosen from the finalists by Ricky Martin and the judges’ panel to be announced in February 2014. The winner will travel to Puerto Rico to see Ricky Martin and a top music producer collaborate on the final version of the song, to be recorded by Ricky for the Official Album of the FIFA World Cup™.

No harm intended. I asked the administrator and he gave me green light. Why did you let someone else to open the Qualifications thread then? It would be much easier if there was only one thread since the beginning.

Mexican hackers have broken into the FIFA servers and, apparently, discovered the groups for the World Cup :lol: Here they are:

:lol: If this is correct, than the draw on 6th December is a farce.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is true at all.

I would not mind this kind of draw at all for :ba:.
It is not impossible to have England and France in same group as long as England is in group that does not have top seed from Europe. Reason for this is because France is lowest ranked European nation it has been placed in third pot with African and South American nations.
Only rule is that three countries from same continent can not be in same group so as long as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay or Columbia are top seed France will be there too (unless FIFA changes something and put somebody else from Europe in that pot) which could create death group that could look like this:
Brazil/Argentina (pot 1)
France (pot 3)
Italy/England/Portugal/Netherlands (pot 4)
whoever from pot 2.
