Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba hopes Friday's World Cup draw is kinder to his team than four years ago and allows it to avoid the major powers in the group stage in South Africa.

Drogba's side had to face Argentina and the Netherlands in the group stage at the 2006 tournament in Germany and only collected points against Serbia before being eliminated.
