The world awaits its fate…

Charlize_Theron_280_940205a32 countries. 1 dream. 1 goal. To win the World Cup.

Buckle-up football fans. The greatest show on earth is upon us and the journey evolves this Friday as the World Cup draw takes place in South Africa. Two years of playing, watching, battling, scoring, missing, hoping, kicking and even a little cheating has come to its end. If you’re in, you’re in. If you’re out, you’re out. There are no more chances. There are no more dress rehearsals. This time, it’s show time. And who better to lead the celebrations at Friday’s event than Academy Award winner and South African native Charlize Theron. Finally we have an excuse to post a picture of one of the world’s most beautiful women…even if she is holding a Chelsea shirt for the cameras! We’ll forgive you this once Charlize, but don’t let us catch you a second time.

The World Cup draw is always full of pleasant surprises and it’s especially tasty when old foes are drawn against each other and when David vs Goliath type games shock the world and take our collective breaths away.

Are you excited for Friday’s draw? Who is your dark horse for the tournament? Which country do you want your country to avoid? Which player will shine as the world’s best? Can you believe the World Cup is almost here again?
