THE DRAW: The historic Draw for the Pop World Cup (i.e. who manages which team) will take place on Tuesday 10th January at 7.30 in The Shaston Arms, Soho, London. Participants and neutrals welcome but it's quite a compartmentalised pub so if lots of people are planning to come there might be a venue change.

The list of managers will go up here on Wednesday 11th and then the Group A match takes place a week after that. (If you know now that there's absolutely no chance of you nominating a song before the 18th let me know that and I'll make sure you don't get a Group A team.)
