This is a ritual known as the luck of the draw and create differences in the relative strengths of the teams in the same pool, a combination of hard and simple groups. For the 2010 World Cup, Group of Death was the group G, by unanimous decision. Group G was five times world champions Brazil, European powerhouse Portugal;African team of the Ivory Coast, and the secret side of North Korea.

The presence of Brazil and Portugal, this interesting group at the beginning. Brazil face their former colonial masters to beat one of the teams in the tournament.
