The draw for the 2010 World Cup is upon us: FIFA today unveiled the procedure for the big event on Friday, 4 December in Cape Town, which sees Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina and England named as seeds alongside hosts South Africa. It was earlier announced that actress Charlize Theron (pictured) would be guest presenter for the extravaganza, assisting FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke who would "marshal" the draw. A host of sporting celebrities and other dignitaries will be present, with Nelson Mandela due to address the audience by video message. It is said that more than 200 million people are expected to tune in. Look out for reaction to the draw (the football, rather than the glitz) on quantumofsport.
