Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has stated his desire to pass up favourites Brazil, Spain, Argentina and his native Serbia in the Group stage of next year's Fifa World Cup finals in South Africa ahead of Friday's draw. Rajevac feels comfortable playing champions Italy, Germany, Holland, hosts South Africa and England which have all been seeded. "Any team is okay but I don't like Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Serbia-These teams play very good maybe not now, maybe quarter-finals and final," the Serbian told Joy FM."Serbia is a very good team and strong and experienced too." "England have a very good coach but I think Ghana playing England wouldn't be a problem." Ghana are in Pot 3 along with Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Nigeria, Algeria, Paraguay, Chile and Uruguay. A worst case scenario on Friday would arguably see Milovan Rajevac's side take on Brazil, Mexico and France. A far easier proposition on paper would have Ghana facing Slovenia, Holland and New Zealand.The 32 qualifiers will be assembled into eight groups on Friday in Cape Town when the draw is made for next summer's tournament from 1745 GMT. The eight seeds will all be in pot one, with the remaining three pots drawn on regional boundaries. Each will face one team in pot three a team from Asia, north or central America, or Oceania - one team from pot three which has five African and three South American sides and one from the exclusively European pot four.
