Does anyone know when the groups are going to be drawn for the 2006 World Cup? I realize that all the qualifying needs to finish first, but I saw a date a while back as to when they are going to draw and put all the teams into their pools for the tournament and was wondering when that date is?

You answered your own question, 'when the group stages have finished'.

It's usually not long after the group stages have finished

I thought so,

thanks for the clarification, I was confused whether I had seen those matches or not.
