MILLIONS of Football Fans around the World were glued to their TV sets last night, with quill, ink, and parchment at the ready. Eagerly awaiting the draw for next years World Cup Finals in South Africa. Waiting to find out who their team will be playing, and where and when will their team be playing. From Basel to Boyatt Wood, and Santiago to Shirley, fans were tuned in with baited breath.
Luckily for viewers, Charlize Theron was on hand to help make the draw, and a very welcome distraction she was too. Much nicer than Sepp Blatter.


England Coach Fabio Capello, England players and England fans (England fan left), should be happy with the outcome. Seeded England have been drawn in Group C, along with The Yoo Ess of A, Alangeria and Slo-Slo-quick-quick-Slo-venia. And although progression won't be easy, and shouldn't be taken for granted, England should make it into the next stage. The Yoo Ess of A will definitely not be easy, they will be fit and strong and having just had a successful Confederations Cup, where they beat the Spanish in South Africa, they will be up for it. Their fans (above right) will be whooping and hollering come match day. They have a massive quota of 1 song to sing during games "YOO ESS A!, YOO ESS A!, YOO ESS A!", you will hear them chant. Occasionally you will hear them "Question the referee's parentage", and more often than not you will hear "C'MONNNNNN, YOU FRICKIN' ASSHOLE". It's thought that up to 50,000 England fans will be in South Africa, and some of them will be Neanderthals who have never been away from England before.  Some of them you would normally find in Ibiza, or Aiya Napa for their summer holiday. But next year it will be South Africa for these fools. It will be interesting to see the contrast between Terry and his mates from Romford, walking like Richard Ashcroft in the Bitter Sweet Symphony video, 'acting' hard and mouthing off at any given opportunity, and Chip and Chuck from Yale University 'acting' pissed with their fraternity jumpers tied around their shoulders, like Mick Talbot in the Long Hot Summer video. 
Having seen Slovenia play in the 2002 World Cup, their fans will be happy to be at another tournament. They will enjoy getting on the drink as all Central Europeans do. You will see them absolutely hammered and struggling to walk, possibly donning vomit stains on their shirts, yet still searching for grog.
As for the Algerians, watch your pockets.
