You mean to tell me that France have NOT been seeded for the third time in the competition.
Disgraceful!
Disgraceful!
Charlize Theron - Legend!
Cape Town, Dec 2 (DPA) Oscar-award-winning South African actress Charlize Theron put up another good performance when she pulled “Ireland†during a rehearsal for the World Cup draw on Friday, it emerged Wednesday.
The actress was pulling FIFA’s leg over Ireland’s failed bid to become the 33rd team at the 32-nation Cup.
Ireland had asked to be allowed participate after being ousted in the play-offs by France, which clinched its place with a goal from striker William Gallas after captain Thierry Henry had handled the ball.
Theron, who will co-host Friday’s draw with FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke, pulled the “Ireland†ball out of the bowl instead of France.
“Yes, she did, but it was only a joke,†Valcke confirmed to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA).
Friday’s draw will determine which teams will meet each other in the first round of the World Cup.

I wonder how the hell they are going to fix the draw so that South Africa dont get knocked out in the group stage?
England
Greece
Ivory Coast
Australia
We'd get through that group, but half our squad would end up crocked.

Well being one of the top seeds goes some way to that end.

It would be a surprise if they did go out - but in view of recent cricket tournaments held in South Africa, it would be true to form if they did exit the tournament earlier than expected.

Not long to go now, lads. Anyone getting excited as I am? Is anyone going to watch the presentation? I'll be asleep as it'll be 5am here but can't wait to find out who Australia got.
