World Cup draw rehearsal


In a rehearsal for Friday's World Cup draw, this is how the balls dropped:
GROUP A - Brazil, Italy, France, Australia.
GROUP B - Uruguay, Nigeria, USA, Croatia.
GROUP C - Argentina, Ghana, Costa Rica, Russia.
GROUP D - Switzerland, Chile, Japan, Greece.
GROUP E - Spain, Ivory Coast, South Korea, England.
GROUP F - Colombia, Cameroon, Honduras, Holland.
GROUP G - Germany, Ecuador, Iran, Portugal.
GROUP H - Belgium, Algeria, Mexico, Bosnia.
England would find it tough to overcome world champs Spain and Ivory Coast, but might fancy their chances more against South Korea.
As for hosts Brazil, they ended up in a real Group of Death, along with 2006 winners Italy and 1998 champs France. Pity the poor Aussies in there with them.
