Due to the uneven number of teams included in the four geographic pots there will be a pre-draw. The four South American seeded teams will be placed in a Pot X. One of them will be drawn and one team from Pot 4 will be drawn, these two teams will be put in the same group. The European team will count as a Pot 2 team, making eight teams in all four Pots and keeping a maximum of two European teams in any group. The last three teams in Pot X will be returned to Pot 1, and the draw will then commence.

A bit of a surprise, they will have one Pot of 7 and one Pot of 9.

How long apart are the pot announcements? Is this an hour long press conference or what?

Pot X?

I would love the idea of a completely random draw. Just put Brazil in Pot 1 and then draw everyone else.
Also, at this point, is Africa really rated higher as a confederation as CONCACAF or Asia? They had one of six teams advance out of the group stage last World Cup, while CONCACAF and AFC teams eached placed two in the knockout rounds.
You could make an argument that USA, Mexico, Japan and South Korea have had more combined success the past 20 years in the World Cup than the combined success of African countries.

I dont understand this. If there are 4 SA seeds, and 1 European team in pot 2. How is this stopping Chili or Ecuador from being drawn into one of the other 3 groups with SA seeds?

Nervous as frick today.
Will I be leaving work early to hit the bar and celebrate?
Or will I intentionally pry open the 14th floor elevator doors and say goodbye to this cruel world as I tumble down an elevator shaft?
Here's to the former.
