Sepp's Balls are ready for the World Cup Draw

Mates, the World Cup is almost upon us...well not really, but the World Cup draw most certainly is; December 7 AEST to be exact. The four Pots are ready, and Mr Batter has been polishing his little balls in frantic preparation for his favourite players, managers and supermodels to pull them out (of the pots) come Saturday morning (SBS 1, 2:45AM - 5:00AM). There will no need for sledging to make this event a tantalising spectacle, but just in case, Aussie 'perhaps to be Captain', Lucas Neil has been warming up on his own fans if the moment arises and Australia (Pot 4) is drawn with England (Pot 2). Chances are the Green and Gold will get Brazil, Italy, and France, which would not be a pleasant experience for any Frenchman - forget about the 6-0 in Paris.

Whatever happens next Saturday morning, Football4Mates will be there on June 12, 2014 to launch another Word Cup tipping competition. So while Sepp and friends will be playing around with those little balls on December 7, you don't have  to worry because F4M will be back .....I cannot believe it's been almost four years already. If your up for the glory, or humiliation, you'll no doubt be joining  in the usual excitement in tuning into games that would otherwise not raise an eyebrow outside their respective...communities e.g. Algeria vs Honduras. Oh yeah, bring it on.

In the meantime, you can play around with this groovey simulator that was created by the team at ESPN which displays the Group Seedings for the draw. Enjoy!
