So the WC seeds are in
Pot 1: Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina and England join hosts
South Africa
Pot 2: Asia (Australia, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic), North, Central America and the
Caribbean (Honduras, Mexico, USA) and Oceania (New Zealand)
Pot 3: Africa (Algeria, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria) and South America (Chile,
Paraguay, Uruguay)
Pot 4: the remaining European teams (Denmark, France, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia,
Slovenia and Switzerland)
South Africa will be automatically positioned as A1; the other seeded teams will be drawn into the
other groups B-H, but will always be in position "1" of their group
Groups will be drawn from A to H and the positions in the group will be drawn for Pots 2 to 4
FIFA says "Geographical criteria will also be respected, meaning that no two teams from the same
confederation will be drawn in the same group (except European teams, where a maximum of two will
be in a group).
