It was Group D that emerged as the 'Group of death' with Uruguay, Costa Rica, England and Italy all falling into it. It was FA chairman Greg Dyke whose outrageous cut-throat gesture as he heard the draw when England was thrown in the mix that was highlighted by the world media as all eyes and the big screen fell on him.
