We're Liveblogging The World Cup 2010 Group Draw!

12:40 PM EST: Well folks, that pretty much wraps things up. Thanks for joining us. 12:37 PM EST: ESPN agrees with us. Group G will be a bloodbath. 1:28 PM EST: We spoke too soon when we said Group C was the infamous "group of death." It's actually Group G. In our opinion, Brazil is the best team in the tournament, but we're somewhat hesitant to say that 1:20 PM EST: All the groups have been decided! Here are the results: Group A: South Africa; Mexico; Uruguay; France Group B: Argentina; South Korea; Nigeria; Greece Group C: England; USA; Algeria; Slovenia Group D: Germany; Australia; Ghana; Serbia Group E: Holland; Japan; Cameroon; Denmark Group F: Italy; New Zealand; Paraguay; Slovakia Group G: Brazil; North Korea; Ivory Coast; Portugal Group H: Spain; Honduras; Chile; Switzerland 1:17 PM EST: Those damn Yankees. We thought being in the same group with England would be a blow to their chances, but they lucked out with Algeria and Slovenia. If you can't beat those two teams, you don't deserve to be in the tournament. 1:16 PM EST: Apparently, speaking Spanish is a prerequisite for being part of Group H 1:14 PM EST: Group E is easily the weakest. 1:13 PM EST: Holy crap! Things might not be so easy for Mexico now that France is in the mix. 1:13 PM EST: Germany has an easy road to stage 2. Australia? Sorry guys, but you don't scare anyone. 1:09 PM EST: Wow, this keeps getting better and better. The US ends up in Group C with England. Not looking good for the Yanks. Group C might be "the group of death." 1:08 PM EST: Holy fuckball! Mexico is selected for Group A. The Aztec squad will play the first game of the World Cup! Seriously, not to knock on the South Africans, but Mexico has a very favorable first match. 1:04 It begins! South Africa is obviously atop Group A, Argentina is Group B, England will be the top seed for Group C, Germany is Group D, Netherlands is E, Italy is F, Brazil will be atop Group G , and Spain heads Group H. 1:01 PM EST: We're glad they have Charlize Theron on stage as eye candy, but she should have brushed up on the sport beforehand. 12:57 PM EST: One thing we forgot to mention. We don't really think Argentina should be a top seeded team, especially when you factor in how close it was to not making the World Cup. 12: 55 PM EST: Can you guys stop explaining the importance of the draw and what's about to transpire. If we're watching, it's because we know enough of the sport to know what the fuck is going on. K, thanx. 12:53 PM EST: Finally! They're about to start the draw. 12:47 PM EST: Charlize Theron presented the ball they'll be using for the matches. Be glad we're holding back on all the awful, groan-inducing jokes we thought of making.12:42 PM EST: We're seriously digging the "Welcome To South Africa" promos ESPN is running. 12:41 PM EST: We wonder how much money the New York bar Nevada Smith paid to be on the air. 12:32 PM EST: They're doing a "players to watch" segment. Who is on the list? Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Drogba, and Fernando Torres. ESPN must think the people watching this are total soccer noobs. 12:22 PM EST: Ugh. More talk about whether FIFA should use video replay or not. Why is this even an issue? We have yet to hear a valid argument against the implementation of the technology. 12:18 PM EST: Oh shit! It's Nelson Mandela, and he's being his usual badass self. 12:16 PM EST: Say what you want about the flashy and unsubstantial ESPN programing, but their profile on the Sowato protests was pretty damn good. 12:10 PM EST: The ESPN announcers think Thierry Henry should not be punished. We rarely agree with Alexi Lalas, but the man said it best when he said "this is the most asinine thing ever." 12:07 PM EST: Mexico, Honduras, and the US are in pot 2, the weakest of the four. The CONCACAF conference is going to get screwed. 12:01 PM EST: WTF. They're showing a preview of an interview with Morgan Freeman, who plays Nelson Mandela in the new movie Invictus. What does a film about rugby have to do with soccer? 12:00 PM EST: Man, this is the worst introduction to an event that's going to be viewed by 200 million people. Way to go ESPN 2. We'll be liveblogging the group draw for next summer's World Cup event! Join us in ten minutes to find out what teams are facing each other in South Africa.
