First thought's of a draw...

So the World cup draw has been done, the lines are drawn and the groups have been established...

But where does that leave everyone?

How does that affect everyone's chances of qualification and the ramifications of not topping a group?

These are my early thought's on each group and their chances of qualifying...

The journey always seems longer than what it is...

And it never matters how you get there, as long as you arrive...

With that in mind, the Republic of Ireland are giving themselves a good chance of qualifying for South Africa...

And so are a few others, as I can't watch all the games, I thought I'd start this blog to get some info for other countrys and their road's to Africa 2010...

Ken Bates bought Chelsea for a pound...

Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea for £140 Million...

And now the Germans are in for Chelsea, for about £800 Million...

How things change...

What I'll take most from Wednesday is the difference between victory and defeat...

The width of a post.

Three time's Chelsea hit the post and none were a charm, while gutted in defeat, I'm not disappointed, for ages I watched Chelsea toil in mid table mediocrity, the odd relegation battle, but in the last ten years it's been like watching a child grow and learn, I've seen the progression from mid table to Europe qualification, to trying to muscle in on the title races, to being Champions, the quest through Europe has been the same, a cup winners cup victory got us noticed, successive semi-finals and finally the final itself and but for a slip and the width of a post, I'd have seen them rise to be the cream of Europe.
