Brazil and Portugal were sent on a World Cup collision course when the final draw was made here yesterday while Lady Luck smiled on England.
The Brazilians and Portuguese will clash in Group G and will be joined by top African side Ivory Coast and unknown quantities North Korea in what will inevitably be dubbed the Group of Death.
England coach Fabio Capello had reason to be happy as his men drew the United States, Algeria and Slovenia.
Ironically it was David Beckham, who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy, who pulled out the ball which paired up the Americans with England in the World Cup for the first time since 1950 when the United States pulled off a shock 1-0 win.
