Event Description Fifa World Cup

On December 9, 2005 the draw was held and the group assignments announced. Group E, with Italy, the Czech Republic, the United States, and Ghana, is already regarded as a group of death, as any two of the four could conceiveably advance to the second round; the same could be said of Group C, with Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire, Serbia and Montenegro and the Netherlands.

The draw was parodied by an online advertisement for Carlsberg lager as part of their long-running If Carlsberg made .... it would probably be the best ... in the world' series, in which Germany, traditional opponents (and the usual nemesis) of England in World Cup fixtures, find themselves drawn in the same group as Brazil, Argentina and France whereas England's group is comprised of Lapland, Outer Mongolia and Vatican City.

Despite early success by Australia, Ecuador and Ghana, the tournament marked a return to dominance of the traditional football powers. Four years after a 2002 tournament in which teams from North America (United States), Africa (Senegal), and Asia (South Korea) made runs deep into the knockout stages and a relatively unheralded UEFA side (Turkey) finished third, all eight seeded teams progressed to the knockout stages, and none of the quarterfinalists were from outside Europe or South America. Six former champion teams and 2004 Euro runners-up Portugal were all still around in the quarterfinal round, with Ukraine as the only relative outsiders.
