[QuizGuy66]

count me in as a novice soccer fan that gets jacked up for the WC every year. Took off work a couple weeks ago to make sure I could watch the draw live with a few . Look forward to the analysis from the soccer afterwards

Please add analysis as well - you know as much as me

Nate Silver looks sleepy.

Heard him give a Keynote at a tech conference earlier this year. Most boring speech in the history of man.

Btw, Nate says the easiest draw for US is Switzerland, Cameroon and Croatia - think that's what he had

 

[NewlyRetired]

Ballack talks too much

 

[NewlyRetired]

Should start up after the commercial.

Silver is the same as the SPI I think as he created it.

So is ESPN gonna skip the explanation on ESPN2?

-QG

 

[CletiusMaximus]

James Tylers twitter commentary is surprisingly amusing so far.

 

[AAABatteries]

Is ESPN going to switch to the draw or just talk to these guys?

Armadillo in the desert makes more sense though

 

[Sammy3469]

Wait...Ms BumBum isn't talented enough to do the draw herself? So confused

 

[Sebowski]

It's too early for this ####.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

LET US APPLAUSE!

 

[AAABatteries]

I like her breasts

 

[QuizGuy66]

OOOOH there's the mysterious Pot X

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

I like her breasts

Gotta be fake, right? Too round.

 

[Bauer]

Who in gods name is that goddess (ESPN feed)

I don't mean Alexi Lalas

Web is ahead btw for the super

[AAABatteries]

Zidane just looks cool.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Who is in the audiance for US? Klinsmann, Sunil?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Zidane!

Absolutely but from thousands of miles away I don't care.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Gotta give the Brazilians credit for having Ghiggia up there. That would be like the US having Bin Laden do the draw.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Fake is standard in brasil, no?

 

[QuizGuy66]

notice the Euro balls are colored - so they can pull that one at the start of Pot 2.

[AAABatteries]

USA! USA!

notice the Euro balls are colored - so they can pull that one at the start of Pot 2.

and I'm sure they are all exactly the same color

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Do not use the term "Group of Death" when speaking with Gab Marcotti. He'll call you stupid.

 

[sporthenry]

Asking questions is terrible.

 

[NewlyRetired]

My heart is pumping.

I think hiring an Arsene Wenger impersonator is a bit too "inside baseball" for my taste.

 

[AAABatteries]

Beautiful, appears to like soccer and good at math - perfect woman

 

[Sebowski]

Looks like she is a proud graduate of the Jenna Jameson school of acting

 

[AAABatteries]

So they won't say who the Euro team is

 

[QuizGuy66]

Here we go

[AAABatteries]

B1 - Bingo!

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Pot 1 sorta boring.

 

[charvik]

 

[AAABatteries]

Come on Group E for US!

 

[QuizGuy66]

everyone's favorite letter is now E

[Sebowski]

Bob Ley adding quality nuggets

 

[Bauer]

With what little I know of FIFAs reputation, I would prefer the guy doing the draw keeping his hands where the camera can see them...

Mine is still H.
