At this moment, the majority of Chinese fans were also sitting in front of the TV watching the lottery ceremony.

The Chinese team has participated in the World Cup three times in a row, from Asia to Europe to Africa, and maybe the next time it will be South America.

ccav did live coverage.

South Africa's Cape Town International Convention and Exhibition Center, representatives from 32 national teams around the world appeared here, and the Chinese national team coach Clauchen attended the lottery ceremony together with the vice chairman of the Football Association.

The top 32 participating in this World Cup were first divided into four levels.

The first-class seeds include host South Africa, defending champions Italy, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, England and the Netherlands.

The second-tier teams come from Asia, Oceania, Central and North America and the Caribbean, namely South Korea, Japan, North Korea, China, Mexico, the United States, Honduras and New Zealand.

The third-level teams are from Africa and South America, namely Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay.

The fourth-level teams all come from Europe, including France, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Greece and Slovenia.

According to the draw rules for grouping in the final stage of this World Cup, except for European teams, teams on the same continent cannot be in the same group.

In addition, South Africa will definitely appear in the a1 position, while the remaining seven seed teams will enter the number one position of the other seven groups respectively.

The draw will start from the first level and be carried out in the order of group a to group h.

The draw of the second to fourth grade teams will be divided into two steps, first draw the group, and then determine the specific position of the group.

In addition, the third-level team will launch the principle of avoidance in the Tongzhou when drawing lots.

The draw ceremony was hosted by FIFA Secretary-General Valk and Oscar winners, and South African star Richards Theron.

Before the lottery started, about an hour of artistic performances and celebrity interviews were held. Former South African President Mandela sent blessings to the World Cup through a large screen, which was quite touching. The appearance of the cute South African World Cup mascot also made the atmosphere immediately liven up.

Valke first affirmed the preparations for the South African World Cup, and then he gave a brief introduction to the draw process. After the introduction, the draw began. Ethiopian long-distance running star Gebrescilasier, the current captain of South Africa's national rugby team, Entini, the first black player in the cricket team in South Africa's history, South African national team defender Booth, South African performing artists and famous English star Beckham became the draw guests.

The first team was drawn out, South Africa entered Group A without any suspense, and then Argentina was drawn, and they entered Group B. England was drawn in the third, entered Group C, Germany entered Group D. The Netherlands was drawn in the fifth, entered Group E, and the defending champion Italy then entered Group F. Finally, Brazil entered Group G, Spain entered Group H.

"The Chinese team will play next. As a second-tier team, it is actually in control. In fact, the fourth-tier team is the most critical... France, Portugal and others are all in the fourth-tier. Of course, the third-tier African team is also very terrifying."

Huang Jianxiang stretched his neck and became nervous. In fact, after all, the Asian teams were in the second level, the African teams in the third level, the European teams in the South America, and the European teams in the fourth level were the key to the grouping.

“A good fortune means we can go further.”

"It depends on Beckham's luck now."

The next step is the draw of the second-level team.

Sometimes I really can't tell you luck.

“china.”

When Beckham first read out the name of the Chinese team, Dong Fangzhuo and the Chinese fans in front of the TV were stunned for a moment, and then their mood became very complicated.

"Oh, host, separate from the host. South Africa's paper strength is not strong and is considered the weakest seed team, but South Africa has the advantage of hosting."

"I really don't know what to say..."

"The next thing is to see the team in the third and fourth gear."

In this way, the Chinese team entered the a2 position.

The second team to be drawn was South Korea, and they entered the B3 position. After that, the United States was drawn at the C2 position, while Australia entered the D2 position. Japan was drawn at the fifth one, and they entered the E3 position, while New Zealand entered the F3 position. The last two teams, North Korea entered the G2 position, and Honduras entered the H3 position.

After the second draw ends, the third draw begins.

After the first two rounds ended, no one knew which group they were in.

Chinese fans began to hold their breath again. What Chinese fans want to know is which national team entered the A3 position.

The first one to be drawn was Nigeria, and they entered the B2 position. Then, Côte d'Ivoire was drawn into the G3 position. Algeria entered the C3 position, and Uruguay d'A3 position.

"Uruguay……"

"Why is it Uruguay?"

Chinese fans are obviously very dissatisfied with the appearance of an opponent like Uruguay. But what if it is another teammate? With eight opponents, none of them are weak!

Ghana was drawn in the fifth, they entered the d4 position, while Cameroon entered the e4 position. Finally, Paraguay was drawn in the f2 position, while Chile entered the h4 position.

The final draw was for the fourth-level team.

"The most critical time is here!"

"France, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Greece and Slovenia, no team is easy to mess with. Of course, it is best to draw Greece and Slovenia. These two teams are relatively weak, but there are no weak teams in Europe..."

"I hope I won't draw France."

“france.”

The first team to be drawn was France, and they entered the a4 position!

"My grass!"

"Huang Jianxiang's mouth!"

"Beckham's luck!"

"It's simply invincible, invincible."

"Why are the eight teams, France, completely unacceptable, unacceptable..."

"It's okay if you say you're going to beat Uruguay, but you're going to beat France. What's the Chinese team going to do now? The French team will definitely be the first in the group. Uruguay is also very strong. Is South Africa playing soy sauce with the Chinese team?"

"No, no, no, the Chinese team is also very strong, why are you afraid of Uruguay? There is still great hope for the second place in the group."

"Calm, calm."

...

Afterwards, Greece entered the B4 position. Slovenia entered the C4 position, Serbia d3 position. The fifth team drawn was Denmark, they entered the E2 position, while Slovakia entered the F4 position. Finally, Portugal entered the G4 position, while Switzerland entered the H2 position, and g formed the death group.

Afterwards, ccav5 immediately contacted Dong Fangzhuo in front of the TV by phone, wanting to ask Dong Fangzhuo what he thought.

Dong Fangzhuo said bluntly: "There is a game that needs to be played. Don't think that we are not opponents just because France has a strong card. Instead, Uruguay should be very vigilant. We are not traveling to South Africa."

"I think France's ownership determines whether there will be a group of deaths in public opinion today. The French team's entry into the host group gave the host a big blow. Currently, South Africa is the weakest team in this group, which is also a reason why the entire group stage is relatively average."

What?

Is South Africa the weakest?

Huang Jianxiang thought he heard it wrong. Isn’t China the weakest?

"Actually, we have to score at least 4 points and then better than the goal difference, we can get 5 points."

Even Dong Fangzhuo began to calculate points like an ordinary fan. If it was 4 points, it would be one win, one draw and one loss. If it was 5 points, it would be one win, two draws.

The one with similar views to Dong Fangzhuo is actually Ma Dexing, a reporter from Sports Weekly:

"I was most worried about the French team before. Maybe France would create a death group, but the result was contrary to my wishes and was assigned to Group A. This time, the host South Africa was completely played by the FIFA gangsters. In this way, South Africa has become a luxury to qualify, and it is good to win a victory. The Chinese team must strive to compete with Uruguay."

Next, another very important guest will be connected, Director Zhang Lu and Zhang.

"It's hard to play in Group A. To say that the "Death Group" should be Group A. During the afternoon interview, I said that the group where the Chinese team is located may be the "Death Group". In this stage, China is the strongest, and the French team is the strongest in the French stage. These two teams meet together, and the host South Africa, these three teams will inevitably have a fight if they want to appear. Uruguay plays a foil here."

Zhang Lu’s views are amazing!

Dong Fangzhuo, who was sitting in front of the TV, was stunned. Is Uruguay a foil? He remembered that Uruguay was the first to qualify in the group, and France only got 1 point and was the first to vain?

Director Zhang, you must have not woken up...

Dong Fangzhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head. Everyone thought that France was the strongest, but ignored the existence of Uruguay.

France eliminated Ireland in overtime and entered the World Cup by scoring a handball goal. Their strength is far less awesome than everyone thought.

Regarding France, it actually caused widespread controversy before the lottery draw.

Not becoming a seed team made French coach Domeneck look very calm. Before the lottery ceremony, he seemed to have received some hint or promise, and kept saying that he was very relaxed and would accept any lottery results calmly. The results of the lottery seemed to confirm the existence of a certain promise. The "Team News" made a judgment immediately, "The French team must be happy to learn the result."

Originally, the quarantine of the French team and whether Henry would be suspended was a big deal. At one point, people thought that FIFA would impose some sanctions or suppression on the French team to calm the voices of some opponents. Putting the French team in the fourth level is one of the results of the compromise. But in fact, putting the French team in the group where any strong team is located is likely to lead to a group of death. The interests of the strong team are not taken care of, and more strong teams may be eliminated earlier, affecting the attention in the later stage of the World Cup. Therefore, new changes have emerged in this compromise, and the interests of the host are sacrificed. The French team has not entered the real "death group", and almost all traditional strong teams have also received corresponding care.

After Henry scored a handball goal, the Irish people were very dissatisfied. International football chairman Blatt also deliberately made fun of Henry's handball, mocking the Frenchman's qualification for the World Cup to be somewhat unfair. In the previous simulation lottery ceremony, some models deliberately read the French sign as Ireland, and the Frenchman was heartless.

Domeneck's good draw is not as easy as before. "We have played against them, and these two games will be very difficult. Everyone thinks that the draw will be very good, which may make us careless, but their players' technical and tactical skills are all in the middle and upper reaches."

However, French fans were very happy.

"Haha, this is a very simple group. South Africa and China cannot pose a threat to France at all. Uruguay's strength is not very good. No matter how you look at it, France has drawn a good lottery."
