World Cup: Battle lines drawn
The draw for the 2002 World Cup finals in Korea and Japan has been held, with one of the first round highlights undoubtedly the pairing of Argentina and England in Group F.
In the 1998 finals in France, Argentina won an electrifying second round match to knock England out of the competition, but England will get its chance for revenge when they meet again on June 7 in Sapporo.
Nigeria and Sweden have also been drawn with Argentina and England in what is sure to be one of the most competitive groupings, while in other first round highlights, Italy, Croatia, Mexico and Ecuador make up the tough Group G.
Germany, Ireland, Cameroon and Saudi Arabia make up Group E, while Brazil has what appears to be an easy opening in Group C with matches against Turkey, China and Costa Rica.
Uruguay's reward for defeating Australia in the playoff is being drawn in Group A with Cup holders France, as well as Senegal and Denmark, while Spain will be favoured to top Group B with Slovenia, Paraguay and South Africa.
And South Korea faces Poland, the United States and Portugal, while their fellow co-hosts Japan will meet Belgium, Russia and Tunisia.

Velappan gunning for five at 2006
Asian Football Confederation General Secretary Peter Velappan said on Thursday that he expects to see five Asian teams at the 2006 World Cup Finals, echoing a view he had announced in October.
The Asian continent is currently allocated four automatic spots at the World Cup Finals, with an additional country having to fight it out with a European contender in a 2-leg playoff. Velappan is confident that another place will be granted to the most populous part of the globe for the Finals in 2006, and he cited the rise in playing standards in the region as a marketable proposition.
