The speech of FIFA President Sepp Blatter has ended, and the "Golden Goddess" was presented - the trophy for which all participants of the upcoming world championship in Germany will compete. It was brought by the President of the Brazilian Football Confederation Teixeira, as its current holders remain the "pentacampeons" - the descendants of the legendary Pele. \n \nOn stage appears the mascot of the 2006 World Cup - the lion Goleo, joined by 32 children, each holding a flag with the country whose team will participate in the battles on the fields of Germany. In addition, the Pille ball is also "present" on stage... \n \nA flash of fireworks, and before everyone appears Bayern Munich player Michael Ballack, juggling the new ball that will be used in the final part of the world championship. \n \nAfter the performance of Colombian singer Juanes, Markus Ziegler (FIFA Director of Communications) explains to all football fans the rules of the draw (that Brazil immediately heads Group "F" as world champion, while Germany becomes "number 1" in Group "A" as the team representing the host country, that the team of Serbia and Montenegro can end up from its special pot "in one company" only with Mexico, Argentina or Brazil among the teams from the first pot... and so on and so forth) \n \nAll the actors of the draw process are invited to the stage: Franz Beckenbauer, Pele, Lothar Matthaus, Johan Cruyff, Roger Milla, Masashi Nakayama, Lucas Radebe, Cobi Jones, Christian Karembeu... Pele is responsible for drawing our, third pot, and Lothar Matthaus - for the fourth... \n \nThus, the national team of Ukraine will play its first match at the 2006 World Cup on June 14 in Leipzig against the team of Spain... The opponent needs no introduction, if only because the "blue-yellows" met the Iberians in the previous qualifying cycle for the 2004 European Championship. \n\nOleh Blokhin's team will play its next game on the 18th against Saudi Arabia in Hamburg, and on the 23rd - a match with Tunisia in Berlin.\n\nAfter the opponents were determined, the camera showed Oleh Blokhin, who seemed to be not particularly pleased and was gesturing with his hands.\n\nGroup "A".\n\n1.
