Check this out on MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10365896/from/RS.3/
The actual draw will be performed by such soccer greats as Pele, Johan Cruyff, Cobi Jones and Roger Milla.
Cobi Jones? A soccer great with the likes of Pele and Cruyff? What's he doing there?
Plus, did he retire from international soccer? If not, having a player who is still part of a participating countries player pool dipping his hand in pots seems really weird to me.

If they wanted to draw American fans they should have had Jenna Jameson.

what i find funny is Heidi Klum hosting it with some random german tv guy, and shes only seen one soccer game in her life, and she only went because her husband Seal was doing the anthems. Now thats a joke

Coz she is totally fake. Has the most annoying voice in latin america. she's like the female version of ricky martin but worse. She changed her whole look, fashion, music and language to get a few extra bucks.

FIFA wanted someone to co-host who's internationally known, that's why they picked Heidi Klum. She probably is the best known German celebrity internationally, so I think the decision is understandable.
The randon German tv guy is Reinhold Beckmann, who hosts a late night talk show, but also is a football commentator. He'll be commentating the final on German TV.

In my totally humble oppinion Reinhold Beckmann is the antichrist.
And he is the 2nd most awfull football commentator Germany has ever seen.

I didn't mean to say Reinhold Beckmann was a great commentator, just that he is connected to football.
I think there are quite a few worse commentators than him in Germany, Werner Hansch being the worst of them all...

either way there turning this into some football-celebrity intermingling shananigans. Maybe they think that if they throw Heidi Klum onto the t.v. set. we'll pay less attention to them giving Germany and Brazil easy groups. Maybe not, we'll find out in less than 24 hours
