The draw for the 2014 World Cup World Challenge

The excitement is building.  Not since the last time a large group of men in suits have sat around a room anxiously waiting for their name to be read out, have so many men in suits sat around a room anxiously waiting for their name to be read out.  The draw for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final takes place today!

But before all of the pomp and ceremony of the official draw, I have carried out a little low key version of events myself.  The names of eight food bloggers have been put into a velvet bag* and a local celebrity** has pulled them out in front of a live audience***.

The draw concluded as follows:

Group A - Rebecca - Really Nice Food
Group B - Gary - Exploits of a Food Nut
Group C - Dan - Soup Tuesday
Group D - Rob - Occasional Drivel
Group E - Ewan (me) - Tonight's Menu
Group F - Steph - The Food I Eat
Group G - Lianne - Everything Goes With Toast
Group H - Steve - Food and Frets

Now we can join the besuited managers, players, sponsors and celebrities in anticipation of the draw live from Costa do Sauipe. Who will get Brazil? Who will get Bosnia-Hercegovina? Does anybody actually want to end up cooking English food? All of these questions and more will be answered in the next couple of hours.
