You have had luck with the draw (unlike the Brazil, Portugal, Ivory Coast, North Korea group)

I'm not sure I understand this, although I've heard it from others - they got the "group of death". But how can a group that includes the 2nd lowest ranked team (North Korea) be a hard draw? Brazil going 2-1 vs. NK was humiliating, but the result was never in question. So there's 3 decent teams competing for 2 places, I guess, but surely that's not so bad?
