Portugal coach Paulo Bento says his side's ambitions is to reach the second round of the World Cup after drawing Germany, Ghana and the U.S.

Friday's draw paired Bento's team in a difficult group involving the former champions, Germany.

Despite the threat posed by the other group members - Ghana and the U.S - Bento says their ambition does not the 'depend on the group.'

Bento reaction: "It's a tight group with a favourite - Germany - because of their history and potential. Both USA and Ghana have good teams, well organised and good players in some of the best European teams. But our ambition does not depend on the group. We want to be in the round of 16 and that's what will fight for."
