Portuguese Men o’ War set for Group of Death

NELSON MANDELA proclaimed that it has been worth the long wait for the World Cup to arrive on African soil, but Brazil and Portugal may not be feeling quite so welcoming after last night’s draw.

If there is a the traditional infamous ‘Group of Death’ in 2010 then it is Group G, where Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast will have to battle it out with North Korea’s campaign looking as good as over.

Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz believes the opening match against an Ivory Coast side that should number stars such as Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure could be decisive.
