About an hour ago, FIFA confirmed the seedings for the 2010 World Cup draw that will take place on Friday in Cape Town.
We predicted yesterday where we thought the teams were going to be placed and we were wrong, but we were really close. We thought France would be seeded, but they are not, but England are, which means there is no chance for England to meet other seeded teams.
The draw for the World Cup has just finished in Cape Town and all the games, locations and dates are now set - the World Cup is just around the corner.
Hosts South Africa have a tough group and England will be more than happy. In all likelihood, Fabio Capello is possibly one of the happier managers after the draw. There is no real stand out group and overall, it is set up for a very exciting tournament but not many teams, even England, will fancy they are going to win their group. Maybe, just Brazil.
If you have not yet had success in obtaining tickets via the FIFA website but are determined to get your hands on some tickets for a World Cup match in South Africa next year, our message to you, is be careful and keep trying at FIFA.
It was reported in September that up to 100 websites were selling tickets that don´t exist and as the event gets closer more and more of these websites are going to appear with the same promise of tickets for matches you thought impossible to get.
The stadium to be used in Cape Town during the 2010 World Cup is now complete and the keys are now firmly in the pocket of Cape Town Executive Mayor Alderman Dan Plato.
“At a special ceremony to mark the completion of one of the world’s most spectacular stadiums, the ‘keys’ will be handed by the main contractors, Murray and Roberts and WBHO, to Cape Town’s Executive Mayor, Alderman Dan Plato,” the city said in a statement last week.
