Rajevac, 55, who took over as Ghana coach in 2008, was speaking as the footballing world turns its focus to Cape Town where the World Cup 2010 draw will take place on Friday evening.

The Serbian national, a former coach of Red Star Belgrade, said: "England have a very good coach [Fabio Capello] but I think Ghana playing England wouldn't be a problem for us.

"Any team is okay but I don't like Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Serbia. "These teams play very good and I'd like to avoid them in the group phase. Maybe in the quarter-finals or later on."

Rajevac, whose team includes Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien, is managing a team which made the second round in Germany four years ago, on its first appearance at the World Cup finals, winning two of its four matches before losing 3-0 to Brazil in the first knockout match.

Ghana are only guaranteed not to play the other five African teams in the draw: Algeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and hosts South Africa.
