I know Algeria are not easy, but I'd take them over Colombia or Portugal. Denmark and you is kind of 50/50 though.

Two teams from the same confederation can not be in the same group.

 

I prefer South Africa and Germany than Portugal and Algeria

Then why aren't the four European teams in the same pot?

[LDOG 2,418]

I only have one wish: be in group D (away, away from Brazil reach, like in the world cup ).
