Groups D and G have to be seen as the group(s) of death. I am extremely happy with the draw for the Italians, however being in one of the two groups of death in 2006 worked for them. Sometimes having the harder group earlier is a positive since you have to be sharp and are playing harder games earlier on in the tournament (if you make it out of the group).
