2010 World Cup. What will be the group of Death?

The build up to the World Cup 2010 has started officially, as FIFA announced the seeds in preparation for Friday's draw.

The pots are below, with pot 1 containing the seeded teams;


Pot 1 - South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain.

Pot 2 - Australia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Honduras, Mexico, USA, New Zealand

Pot 3 - Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay

Pot 4 - Denmark, France, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Switzerland


So what would the toughest possible combination. For my money it would be a group of

Brazil
USA
Ivory Coast
France

That would be one of the all time Group's of death in any World Cup. On the flip side the softest group in the world cup would probably be

South Africa
New Zealand
Uruguay
Slovenia

We have two days to play with group permutations before we find out on Friday how it will pan out..
