France and South Africa have so far encountered in the first round the world only when one of the two teams was the hostess. The only and last time it was in 1998, with "the blues" hosts and winners for three to zero.

This is also the only of the eight groups is composed entirely of teams that also participated in the previous edition of the championship (although in 2006 Serbia was called Serbia-Montenegro). GROUP E: these four teams have never met in a world championship and, more generally, between them, excluding the many matches between the Netherlands and Denmark at the European championships and qualifying different. GROUP F: This group is newcomer and Slovak returned after the New Zealand event in 1982. There is no precedent at the world championships of the four teams, with the exception of Italy and Paraguay at the World Championships in Brazil in 1950, completed two to zero. GROUP G: the only other appearance in North Korea to a world championship took place in 1966. Brazil and Portugal met with North Korea in a World Cup only in that same edition. Regarding the Ivory Coast, there is also stress that in 2006 this team has found in its group head of a South American series (at that time, Argentina), a "second tier" of high-level ( In that case, the Netherlands) and a nation "divided" (then it was Serbia, which was still only footballing Serbia and Montenegro). Of this group, three out of four national were also present at the 2006 world championship. GROUP H: Honduras, back to the world championship after twenty-eight year absence (his last appearance was in fact "Spain 1982"). The group has three countries on four Spanish-speaking only what has already occurred in the 1930 World Championships held in Uruguay (Spanish-speaking nation in turn) and seven teams that included American and Spanish on thirteen participants total.
