The 32 teams now know who they will be facing in the group stage of the World Cup finals following Friday’s draw.
Brazil remain favourites with the bookmakers, who clearly feel home advantage can propel the Selecao to success.
But who among the 32 teams are the winners and losers from the draw?

Loser: England
Sir Geoff Hurst did his country a good turn in 1966 and received a knighthood on the back of it.
There may well be a few England fans screaming for the Queen to take his title back after pulling out the Three Lions alongside Uruguay, Costa Rica and Italy in Group D.
It was apparent heading into the drawing of teams from Pot 4 that Group D had the look of the “Group of Death.”
Hurst gave the balls a swirl, picked one out and handed it to FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke.
There was a pause to build the atmosphere, before Valcke confirmed England boss Roy Hodgson’s worst fears.
“With Uruguay and Italy, we almost have two No. 1 seeds in our group,” Hodgson told BBC Sport. “It does not surprise me at all to get a tough draw. But I am still very positive about the whole affair, as you never know.”
If the three teams alongside England were not bad enough, the Three Lions will open their campaign in the tropical city of Manaus.
It will be a hot start, and it will need to be a fast start.

Loser: Italy
If England are losers, that sentiment is echoed for Italy.
Prior to the draw, Italy coach Cesare Prandelli had a whinge, confirmed by Goal’s Stefan Coerts, about his country not being seeded.
You just knew the draw would give Prandelli something to complain about. It duly did.
Joining Uruguay, Costa Rica and England in Group D makes life extremely tough for the 2006 winners.
Spying the group he could have had, if Italy had been seeded and not Switzerland, is likely to make Prandelli even more miserable. Instead of taking on France, Ecuador and Honduras, his side will face two massive tests against England and Uruguay.
And it will be a tough opener, as the Azzurri will have to travel to the tropical city of Manaus to face England.

Loser: USA
Jurgen Klinsmann had a calm demeanour prior to the draw, as he picked up some merchandise to swell the FIFA coffers.
He will do well to remain calm following the draw for his USA side. Klinsmann’s men have been placed alongside Germany, Portugal and Ghana in Group G.
Germany’s record in World Cups and the talent at Joachim Low’s disposal make them overwhelming group favourites.
If that was not bad enough, USA will have to hatch a plan to halt Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portuguese pals.
The Group G opener in Natal on June 16 could go some way to shaping their campaign, as they kick off against the perceived weak links, Ghana.
Ghana, though, can call upon the likes of Kevin-Prince Boateng, Asamoah Gyan and Sulley Muntari. A tough, tough test for USA.

Loser: Spain
As holders, eyebrows may be raised by suggesting Spain are losers from the draw. But that looks the case from where we are sitting.
The Confederations Cup final loss to Brazil this year exposed a weakness or two for Spain.
And they will be tested to the full in a pool containing Netherlands and Chile, as well as Australia.
Spain open up against the Netherlands, the side they beat in the final three years ago, and a loss in that game would place La Roja on the back foot.
That would not signal the end for Spain. As solid as Chile are, Vicente del Bosque’s men should have enough to see them off and qualify. But qualifying in second would put them on collision course with Brazil in the last 16. Ouch.

Winner: France
A matter of weeks ago, the guillotine was being prepared for France coach Didier Deschamps following their defeat to Ukraine in the first leg of their qualification play-off.
France turned it around on home soil to book their place in the finals. And what a difference a few weeks make.
Italy may have complained that Switzerland were....http://sportshubng.com/fifa-world-cup-draw-winners-losers/
