Thanks for posting about it Rafiq! Hopefully gets people to understand the whole procedure a little better!
I didn't really understand the 2010 draw process. Will it be live on TV today sometime?
Yeah, it will be. Starts at 6pm on Supersport and 6:30pm on SABC1. Otherwise head on down to Long street.
This is great! I too don't quite get how everything works… or how countries like Japan and Serbia have qualified ;o)
Thanks for sharing the whole procedure,
