Charlize calls ‘Ireland’ in World Cup draw

FOR one fleeting moment FAI chief executive John Delaney must have felt his dreams had been come true.

During the dress rehearsal for today’s World Cup draw in Cape Town, South Africa, Hollywood actress Charlize Theron reached into the pot of balls labelled with each of the 32 countries participating.

As the rehearsal commenced the Oscar- winning actress, who will co-host the 90-minute event with FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke pulled out the ball marked “France” from the pot.
