Groups

The seeded teams for the 2006 cup were announced on December 5, 2005. By prior agreement, Germany was seeded into Pot A, the group of seeded teams (determined by World rankings and previous performances in the two most recent World Cups). The unseeded teams were divided into Pots B-D, according to geography, as follows:

Pot A Pot B Pot C Pot D

Germany
Brazil
Argentina
England
France
Italy
Mexico
Spain

Angola
Australia
Côte d'Ivoire
Ecuador
Ghana
Paraguay
Togo
Tunisia

Croatia
Czech Republic
Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
  Switzerland
Sweden
Ukraine

Costa Rica
Iran
Japan
South Korea
Saudi Arabia
Trinidad and Tobago
United States

Special Pot

 Serbia and Montenegro

Pot B contained the five African entries, as well as Ecuador, Paraguay, and Australia; Pot C contained 8 of the 9 remaining European sides, excluding Serbia and Montenegro. Pot D contained sides from Asia and the CONCACAF region. A special pot contained Serbia and Montenegro, and the three non-European seeded teams: this was done to ensure that no group contained 3 European teams. In the special pot, Serbia and Montenegro (white ball) was drawn first, then their group was drawn (black ball) from the three seeded non-European nations, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.

On December 9, 2005 the draw was held and the group assignments announced. After the draw was completed, many football commentators remarked that Group E and/or Group C appeared to be the groups of death in the Cup (see Guardian and FOX Sports articles).
