Time for the biggest day in December so far… The World Cup draw…

capello

These are the pots:

Pot 1 (seeds): South Africa, Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina, England

Pot 2 (Asia, Oceania and North/Central America): Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Australia, New Zealand, United States, Mexico, Honduras

Pot 3 (Africa and South America): Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, Algeria, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay

Pot 4 (Europe): France, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland, Greece, Serbia, Denmark, Slovakia

Trevor Brooking:

“In pot four, France and Portugal have been mentioned as being difficult but Serbia look pretty tough too. In pot two, the US and Australia would be tricky and Ivory Coast and Ghana are both good sides too. So, in pot three, a South American side might be more favourable than an African one. But, as Fabio Capello has already said, whoever you play, it is going to be tough. How will England do? This is a very good England side. After Brazil and Spain, England are in the next class. If we have got everyone fit, we will be tough to beat – a lot of countries will be looking to avoid us today.”

    Now the audience are being welcomed by the great Nelson Mandela, a key figure in securing the FIFA World Cup for South Africa. The Nobel Peace prize-winning former president, 91, said in a special video message: “We feel privileged and humbled that South Africa has been given this singular honour of being the African host country. We must strive for excellence in our hosting of the World Cup, while at the same time, ensuring that we are going to  leave a lasting benefit to all our people.”
