How unnecessarily complicated is all this bollocks... A pre-draw will be held to move one of the European non-seeds (potentially England) to pot 2 Pot 1 will then be drawn. Brazil will be placed in Group A, with all other seeds drawn sequentially in Groups B-H The four South American seeds are temporarily allocated to Pot X and one team is drawn - meaning their group will include the European side moved to Pot 2 in the pre-draw The remaining teams in Pot 2 will be then drawn This is done sequentially from Group A to H, although groups may be skipped to guarantee geographical separation - i.e. Chile and Ecuador will not be drawn into groups containing South American seeds The teams from Pot 3 will then be drawn sequentially from Group A to H The teams from Pot 4 will then be drawn sequentially from Group A to H Finally, the position within groups (A2, A3, A4, B2, B3, B4 etc) will be drawn for all teams in pots two, three and four. Only then will we know where and when teams will meet

Nigeria have drawn Argentina again in Group F. Ghana have drawn Germany again in Group G. Algeria in Group H.
