Teams fear Brazil in World Cup draw

LEIPZIG - Brazil are the team everyone else will want to avoid in today's 2006 World Cup draw, according to West Germany's 1974 World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer.

England, Italy, Argentina, France, Mexico, Spain and hosts Germany are seeded along with Brazil so cannot be grouped with the holders, but the other 24 nations will need a dose of luck to avoid the five-time World Cup winners.

High-calibre teams such as the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Portugal will not want to see Brazil next to their name when the 32 qualifiers are divided into eight groups of four.
