Gilas was drawn with Dominican Republic, Italy, and Angola in Group A following the group draw on Saturday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

However, Gilas coach Chot Reyes downplayed the potential "easiness" of the group.

"This is the World Cup so there is no such thing as an easy draw," Reyes said, even calling it "not ideal."

He said Ivory Coast would have been the better pick rather than Angola.
