While our exit from the stage is not as quick as Canada's two-time speed-skating champion Catriona Le May Doan (see 17:07), we are heading off sharpish too.

Our live coverage is coming to a close, but if you want all the reaction from the draw then head over to our news story. And if you're already excited about the Women's World Cup, or indifferent and want to be excited, then have a read of this piece which tells you all the pre-tournament stories you need to know.

Cadi:, external US Women's National Team is now in the group of death of their own. I'm hyped

Chelsea Seyfert:, external Canada has a good group. Its looking like it's going to be a pretty good World Cup

Joe Bennett:, external Group D looks a bit tasty..

Phew! All over in Ottawa City. What do we think to that then?

England coach Mark Sampson must be pretty happy with his team's draw. France are clearly the standout opposition, with Les Bleues ranked fourth in the world and looking to improve on their fourth-placed finish at the 2011 World Cup.

Colombia, who were eliminated at the group stage four years ago, are ranked 31st in the world, while Mexico are 25th in the rankings and have not progressed past the first stage in two attempts.

England are drawn in Group F alongside France, Colombia and Mexico.

That means Colombia switch from Group E to Group F, with South Korea yet to be placed into another group. I think...

Yes, that's right. South Korea are placed into Group E instead of Colombia.

Uh oh. Panic is etched across Jerome Valcke's face. He realises he has made a mistake - Colombia should not have been drawn alongside fellow South American side Brazil...

China have been plucked out of the hat and thrown into Group A. And that means they will face hosts Canada in the opening match on 6 June in Edmonton.

Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke, the adjudicator of draw proceedings, goes through all the small-print. How many pots there are, what the draw process is, etc, etc.

"I think we have said everything about this draw and I think we can start," he concludes.

Good shout Jerome. Let's go....

Right, forget scary-looking mascots. Now we're edging closer to the real business of the draw. The four people responsible for picking out the balls are being introduced to the waiting crowd.

And the final 'draw assistant' is one of particular interest to Darlington, Dundee United, Wigan and Ipswich fans. Seriously.

Any ideas? It is, of course, former Canada captain Jason De Vos, who spent the bulk of his career in British professional football.

England are the only British nation to qualify for next summer's tournament - but have they got any hope of winning?

Well, they will be drawn alongside one of the big guns in the group stage, but should fancy their chances of progressing as, at least, the second-placed team.

Under boss Mark Sampson, the Lionesses dominated their qualifying group by winning all 10 matches and scoring 52 times, conceding just once.

Their best World Cup performance is the quarter-final finish they achieved in 1995, 2007 and last time out in 2011.

Eileen Cheng:, external Is it just me or does the mascot looks a bit scary?

Katie Bulman:, external OMG! It's a giant dancing Owl..

Here is the dancing mascot! Shueme bounds on to the stage, alongside 20 young performers from a dance school in Ontario.

Shueme's name, I'm reliable, was inspired by the French word for owl, which "pays tribute to bilingualism and Canada as an inclusive, multicultural country", according to Fifa.

And her colours are said to symbolise peace and fair play. I'm sure you'll agree...
