International Football Talk Final Mock World Cup Draw

So the World Cup draw is less than 24 hours away.  Players, coaches, celebrities are in Cape Town, South Africa preparing for what will take place tomorrow.  We at International Football Talk have been having a Mock Draw marathon this week.  With all the possible procedures FIFA may use.  FIFA are using the same procedure they used in 2006 for the draw.  However, Netherlands will be seeded and France will be not as FIFA decided to use the world rankings for seeding purposes instead of a formula of world rankings and past World Cup performance.  With that said I did a complete draw this time around.  Including group positioning with selecting A2, A3, A4, B2, B3, B4, etc. to determing when and where games will be played.  I will layout the entire schedule below if FIFA were to draw this exactly.  All times are local South African time.  South Africa is 6 hours ahead of eastern time during the summer.  So matches on the east coast would be 7:30a.m., 10a.m., and 2:30p.m.  From there you can figure out game times depending on where you live.
