Not just England, of course, but I expect much of the buildup to the World Cup in 2010 will revolve around the Yanks opening match with their colonial cousins.


Here is the full World Cup group draw:


Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay,France

Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece

Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia

Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana

Group E: Holland, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

Group G: Brazil, Korea DPR, Ivory Coast, Portugal

Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile


Focus will be on the opening match with England (June 12th in Rustenburg), but Bob Bradley and his team will need to give proper respect to Algeria and Slovenia if they hope to progress to the knockout round.
