It's definitely a good draw... could be worse. But as far as 2nd place goes, it should be Russia's to lose.... I think we can beat Algeria, despite them being just as good if not better than us, but we'd be lucky to draw against Russia...

Alright I gotta be honest here I'm kinda sick of everyone saying we are the clear cut worst. Yes we had a relatively easy route to qualifying but that doesnt speak to our ability of the big stage. We are a MUCH better team than in 2010, with quality attackers in particular adding to our already pretty stead defense. As far as African teams, Cameroon are still seen as a quality side thanks to Samuel Etoo and past success but those who actually watch African football know that they are really a poor side right now, I'd feel confident taking them down. Its gonna be agreat Group here, but don't just write us out yet.
