Nederland toch groepshoofd bij de loting vrijdag.

Conform de traditie (kwalificatie alleen maar bagger landen in de poule, toernooi zelf poule des doods) zullen we echter wel Frankrijk of Portugal uit pot 4 loten. Nederland, Mexico, Ivoorkust en Portugal ofzo. Of Nederland, Nieuw Zeeland, Algerije en Slowakije.

The seeding was based on the October 2009 FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking (which you can see by clicking on the link to the right), and Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina and England are therefore the seven squads that join hosts South Africa as seeded teams for the Final Draw.

The committee also approved the composition of the other pots as well as the procedure for the final draw:

• Pot 2 will be composed of teams from Asia (Australia, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic), North, Central America and the Caribbean (Honduras, Mexico, USA) and Oceania (New Zealand)

• Pot 3 will include teams from Africa (Algeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria) and South America (Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay)

• Pot 4 will have the remaining European teams (Denmark, France, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland)
