Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Oh and here is the mascot which i'm sure you will all be dying to know about The official mascot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup is Zakumi, an anthropomorphised leopard with green hair. His name comes from "ZA", the international abbreviation for South Africa, and "kumi", a word that means "ten" in various African languages. The mascot's colours reflect those of the host nation's playing strip – yellow and green. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as i said i don't know timings on big projects such as this but here is the link to the official site http://www.soccercity2010.co.za/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The actual draw is on the fourth, usually you find out who the top seeds in each group are (the seeded teams) a few days before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando 249 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...020&cc=5901 The 2010 World Cup Draw takes place in Cape Town on December 4, 2009. The 32 nations will be drawn into eight groups of four with the top two in each group progressing to the Round of 16. The nine chosen South African cities to host the matches next summer are Johannesburg, which will have two venues, along with Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Polokwane and Rustenburg. FIFA are expected to confirm the draw procedure once the 32 qualifiers are known. It is far from certain that they will simply put the nations into four pots of eight by seeds. No more than two European nations can be in any one group, and as such FIFA may have to be a little more creative with their pots for this particular World Cup Draw. In 2006, FIFA had to place Serbia & Montenegro in a special pot to avoid this happening. Much depends on exactly which nations qualify for the finals, and how that affects the top eight seeds. South Africa are guaranteed to be in the pot of seeds as hosts, meaning there will be seven places available for the qualifying nations. And in 2006, reigning champions Brazil were automatically placed into Group F and the same could happen to Italy next month. Four years ago, FIFA had, along with a pot for the seeds, a group which contained the unseeded nations from South America, Africa and Oceania, another with eight European nations and a further pot with the seven nations from Asia and Concacaf. There was also the special pot for Serbia & Montenegro could not be drawn into a group which already had two European teams within it. Thirteen European nations have qualified for the World Cup, which means that if less than five European teams are seeded FIFA will be unable to fit the rest of them into just the one pot. This is exactly what happened with Serbia & Montenegro for the 2006 finals as there were nine unseeded European nations. It is not yet known exactly how many nations will qualify from Asia, Oceania, Conmebol and Concacaf, as well as the final seedings, so it is impossible for FIFA to release their World Cup Draw procedure. It is expected this will be confirmed shortly after the final matches on November 18. You will be able to follow the World Cup draw live with ESPN Soccernet on December 4. The World Cup begins on Friday June 11, 2010. According to ESPN Soccernet's home page, the World Cup draw live will be at 12:00 pm on Friday, December 4.
