The qualifying draw for World Cup 2014 was held in Rio de Janeiro yesterday.
I think England has to be the biggest beneficiary of the draw as they avoided Europe's top teams. England have been placed in Group H against Montenegro, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and San Marino. The toughest group is probably Group I where Spain, France, Belarus, Georgia and Finland will battle it out.
The complete World Cup 2014 draw is as follows.
While delivering a welcome speech FIFA president Sepp Blatter backed Brazil to overcome delays in preparations and host a successful World Cup 2014.
Blatter said: 'We need the support of the government of Brazil, the state governments, the organising committee and the 190million fans of football that is the population of Brazil. 'It is a matter of trust and confidence and FIFA have trust in Brazil and are confident of its abilities. 'Football is the beating heart of Brazil. It is a multi-cultural country of joy and celebration blessed with natural beauty and a booming economy ranking number seven in the world.'
