The way I looked at it was using FIFA rankings to determine the placings,
obviously China being hosts they must go in pot 1 Pot 1) China, Germany, Norway, USA Pot 2) Brazil, Sweden, England, Denmark Pot 3) Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea Pot 4) Argentina, Ghana, New Zealand, Nigeria FIFA state that no group can contain more than one team from a particular confederation, except UEFA which can have a maximum two teams in the same group, because theres more teams from UEFA. Which means, for example, USA cannot be drawn against Canada. I picked a death group to illustrate this: USA Sweden Korea Nigeria  whoa that would be fun!
So you can figure out a nice group for your team(s) or see what the worst possible outcome could be 
Again I do not know how FIFA will do this, I'm just speculating but this is a little fun. Pick your fav and worst group for your team Remember no two teams from the same federation unless UEFA ie Sweden and Norway in same group. And one team from each pot thus meaning 4 teams per group |

Oooorrr if you get really bored right down all the names and pick them out of a hat yourself!

Worst group
USA Brazil Japan Nigeria Fave group USA England Korea New Zealand |
||||||||
|

Brazil never play together until a big event like the WC/Olympics
wonder how they will perform this year. Nigerian's are always a bit physical So playing them will always be a tough (not to mention rough) match 
I think Korea would be tougher than Japan... Easiest group England can hope for would be: China England Australia Argentina |

I watched yestreday part of germany holland on ZDF, germany are efficient as ever a 5-1 win although they had problem with their offside line, they let a player through a few times.

Here ya go ladies and gents:
FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 group stage draw: Group A (Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu): Germany Japan England Argentina (not a bad group - prob the easiest could have hoped for )
Group B (Chengdu, Shanghai, Tianjin): Nigeria USA Korea DPR Sweden (Smithy we do battle  oh and Nigeria are prob gonna hurt half of our players in the group stages )
Group C (Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu): Norway Ghana Australia Canada Group D (Wuhan, Tianjin, Hangzhou): China PR New Zealand Brazil Denmark |
||||||||
|

|
|
We go head to head then Smoggie , may the best team win
I can see Abby Wambach getting sent off when she goes up against Nigeria
Why do England always get Germany  , don't fancy our chances there. |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
2003 silver and bronze teams go head-to-head - should be fun match up
Yeah am kinda thinking the same thing about Frida/Seger versus Nigeria
Can't really blame them though cos as we know Nigeria are a very physical team I'd lose me rag playing against them
Who'd ya think is gonna advance from each group then smithy? |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
To advance I think :
Germany USA Canada Brazil I've got a feeling Solo might be dropped for the Nigeria game and Scurry to come in . |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
mine are:
Group A) Germany and whoever wants it more...England have a good chance; won't get a better chance, however if Japan find form could be tough and Argentina did beat Brazil Group B) USA and Sweden, but Nigeria will be tough Group C) Norway and Canada - can't see Aussies or Ghana possing those two teams much of a threat, maybe Cheryl Salisbury Group D) Brazil and Denmark - hard group for hosts China, but they did beat the FIFA World Stars 3-2 yesterday and they have new coaching staff. |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
Great Germany
Why does it have to be them of all teams?! Tsscchh  |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
Stop complaining
England have a great opportunity, if they cannot advance from that group then I'm afraid France should have been in the finals |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
I think group B will be decided when Sweden play USA , and all games between these two have been very close.
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
English are good at complaining it's what we do
We have time to improve, I think we were lucky to qualify so anything else imo is a bonus! With players coming back from injury and most getting experience from Europe. |

They just interviewed Jo Potter on SSNews after Charlton's game at Leeds, and she was hoping to be playing in the final
 |
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
That's erm...ambitions, to say the least, from Jo
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
Well - why not though?
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
Well, going into a game thinking you can get to the final can be good and bad. It may make you work a lot harder, or it may take your mind off the game in hand.
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
I think England women have a better attitude than the men
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
Not a bad draw. For those who do not know the Chinese geography Hangzhou Shanghai and Chengdu are hundred of miles away from each other.It is a logistical nightmare with plane travelling hotels and rest times
