Spain to play Holland in World Cup group stages

Spain will begin their defence of the World Cup against the Netherlands, after the two sides were pitted together in today's group stage draw.

The sides will meet in Salvador on June 13, in a repeat of the 2010 final that Spain won with Andres Iniesta's goal.

The pair will face South American opposition in the form of Chile, who defeated England at Wembley last month.

Spain, Holland and Chile will also face Australia in Group B.
