AND SO IT BEGINS!
Samantha Jonson, Carli Lloyd and Jermaine Jenas (whose remarkable post-playing career shows no signs of slowing down) are on the stage ahead of the teams being drawn.
Deschamps brings out the trophy
France boss Didier Deschamps – one of only three players to win the World Cup as a player and a coach – has brought the trophy onto the stage.
Do not rule out Deschamps leading his nation to glory once again this time round – led by Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba.
No side has retained the World Cup title since Brazil, who won the competition in 1958 and 1962.

Idris Elba is in the Building!
The host has arrived, in style with his beautiful partner. Idris Elba and broadcaster Reshmin Chowdhury are presenting today’s show, with FIFA describing it in typically understated terms. The show will “blend Qatar’s history and future in a dazzling football celebration” with “live performances to shine a spotlight on Qatar’s striking fusion of traditional and modern.” Make of that what you will.
The 32 spots at the World Cup have been split into four pots based on FIFA’s most recent world rankings, as well as rewarding those who secured a place as one of the seeded teams. Qatar, as the hosts of this World Cup, have been placed in Pot One with some of the tournament’s favourites, including England, France, Brazil and Argentina.
