World Cup Draw: Costa Rica to open against Germany; Argentina in “group of death”

-Contributed by Erwin Cifuentes. The drawing to decide the groups from next summer’s soccer World Cup were held on Friday. Costa Rica faces the unenviable task of playing the inaugural match against the host country Germany, while Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago both were placed in Group B. Argentina heads the “group of death” as they must face the Netherlands, Ivory Coast and Serbia & Montenegro, though the US was placed in a difficult group led by Italy. Defending champions Brazil drew into a slightly difficult group, and Mexico heads one of the tournament’s easiest groups. (TSN)
