Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France
Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece
Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia
Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana
Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon
Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal
Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile
Holders Italy, and European champions Spain have been quite lucky with their groups and look to be almost guaranteed to progress to the next phase.
Group G, involving Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast (one of Africa's top teams, and boasting arguably the world's best striker, Didier Drogba) has been labelled the “Group of Death”.
However, the most interesting tie the draw has thrown up might be England against the USA. England will of course be favourites, but the one and only time that the sides have actually met at a World Cup saw the US shock the footballing world by beating England 1-0 . . . this was back in 1950.
I wouldn't bet against the USA causing another shock 60 years on.

Very nice answer @thomas_k. If you inlink things like the country names next time, it may increase SEO for your answers. That may not be important for rev share on sister sites, but doesn't hurt to get in the habit :).
Thanks @opher, occasionally I think of doing that, but should indeed do it more. The blue adds a little more colour to the answer if nothing else.
