U.S. draws tough group in World Cup

Associated Press

LEIPZIG, Germany -- Defending champion Brazil will play its first match of next year's World Cup against 1998 semifinalist Croatia, while Argentina has to face the Netherlands in a difficult first-round group.

The United States was drawn into a strong group with Italy, the Czech Republic and Ghana.

Five-time champion Brazil also faces Australia and Japan in Group F, while Argentina has games against Serbia and Montenegro and the Ivory Coast. Argentina failed to get past the first round in 2002 and this draw means it could struggle again.

The opening match will be host Germany against Costa Rica in Munich. Three-time winner Germany also plays Poland and Ecuador.

The United States opens against the Czech Republic on June 12 at Gelsenkirchen. The Americans play Italy on June 17 at Kaiserslautern and finishes the first round against Ghana on June 22 at Nuremberg.

The Americans lost to Czechoslovakia and Italy in their first two games of the 1990 World Cup, the first appearance in the tournament for the U.S. team since 1950. The Americans are 0-3-2 against Italy and have never played Ghana or the Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1990s.
