So after two years of blood, sweat and tears we finally know the 32 nations that will compete at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Although we don't know quite how the draw will work just yet, it is believed the top eight seeds will be put in pot 1 while the other 24 teams will be divided by their confederations.
Teams will then be drawn and placed into eight groups consisting of four teams each, with the top two from each progressing to the first knock-out stage.
