World Cup Draw Is Sunday
As hard as it is to believe the 2010 World Cup draw is Sunday with U.S. goalkeeper Kasey Keller helping out, although games are already under way in South America and elsewhere.
You can watch it at fifa.com, and will have to if you live in the U.S. because I don't see a listing on any of the ESPN channels. (Even with what seems like three jillion ESPN channels the U.S. is not one of 173 countries to show the draw live?).
Meanwhile, the U.S. dropped one spot to 19th in the monthly world rankings released today.
