ChatGPT can you please suggest how to conduct a draw for the World Cup in the USA.

The ceremony gets started at 17:00 GMT (12:00 local time) on 5 December, but there's going to be far more to this glitzy event than simply pulling the countries out of a hat.

Supermodel Heidi Klum, comedian Kevin Hart and actor and producer Danny Ramirez will co-host.

Before the draw there will be live music performances from Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams and Nicole Scherzinger, while Fifa president Gianni Infantino and US President Donald Trump are both expected to make speeches.

Then it is on to video clips of the finalists, introductions and the draw itself.

Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand will conduct the draw.

The 47-year-old will be joined by broadcaster Samantha Johnson and a host of sporting greats, including Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Aaron Judge and Shaquille O'Neal.

Once the draw has been completed, the Village People will perform YMCA to bring the curtain down, with the entire ceremony expected to last about 90 minutes.

being in America, I wonder if they actually have an allocated 'razzmatazz' section on the agenda, with a Director Of Razzmatazz working it

"please welcome to the stage, Bradley Brettburger, Chief Director of Razzmatazz freedoms"

::100ft US flag unfurls from above, fireworks go off, US Navy march across the stage, B Brettburger puts hand on heart as if this couldn't be any more meaningful::
