England coach Roy Hodgson concedes they've been handed a tough World Cup draw.
England will face Uruguay, Italy and Costa Rica in Group D following the draw yesterday.
"It is difficult," Hodgson told the BBC. "There is no doubt with Uruguay and Italy we have almost got two number one seeds in our group.
"Italy were very unlucky not to be seeded in the first eight. Of course we know how good they are because we lost to them on penalties in the quarter-finals of the European Championships.
"The good thing is that we know each other and the other thing in our favour is that the game we have got in the north, where the conditions are going to be tough climatically, is against another European team so we are both going to be in the same boat."
