Soccer: World Cup group stage draw awaits

The big soccer nations will be holding their breath on Friday as the groups for the 2010 World Cup are drawn in Cape Town.

Hosts South Africa are among the top seeds and are joined in Pot 1 by Spain, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, England, Holland and Italy.

There is certainly some potential for a "Group of Death", though, with Mexico and Australia in pot 2 and the Ivory Coast, Ghana and Paraguay in Pot 3.

And Pot 4 could provide the hammer blow for the seeds as it contains France, Portugal and Serbia.

By Friday night, fans will be able to crank their preparation for the tournament up another notch as they count down to the big kick off on June 11.
