One fan took to X and called it a 'newly discovered level of cringe.' The fan wrote, “Kevin Hart and Heidi Klum hosting the World Cup draw in the Kennedy Centre in Washington is a newly discovered level of cringe.”

"I am enjoying the sheer lack of chemistry Kevin Hart and Heidi Klum have. Oh good here is Rio Ferdinand", another fan said.

Here are the other reactions:

Meanwhile, Spain have been placed in Group H, with Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay. There were high-profile celebrities and football legends present in the venue. Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand was the draw conductor and Donald Trump got FIFA's first-ever peace prize.

After receiving the award, Trump said, "We've worked closely with those two countries, and the coordination and friendship and relationship has been outstanding."

"It is truly one of the great honors of my life. It is such an honor to be with Gianni. He has done such an incredible job.

"The world is a safer place now. The United States a year ago was not going too well but now it is the hottest country anywhere in the world," he added.

Meanwhile, Infantino said, "It will be the greatest World Cup ever, the greatest event that humanity has ever seen. We have three beautiful countries, 16 wonderful host cities, 48 excellent teams who will compete in 104 matches to become the one and only world champion."

"This is like 104 Super Bowls in one month -- this is the magnitude of what we are organizing," he added.
