Host hopes to make most of lucky draws

China men's and women's soccer teams are looking to deliver more than expected at the Olympic Games after they were drawn in favorable groups last night in Beijing.

The men's team is grouped with Brazil, New Zealand and Belgium.

The last time China competed at an Olympic Games was 20 years ago in Seoul and the long-time underachiever in the sport had to rely on the host's right to gain a berth this time.
