Will England be seeded given their quite good qualifying campaign? If so, this group is not possible as the host nation will get seeded.

It's a load of shít really. They should just chuck 32 balls in one bowl and draw eight groups from that.
If the pot's there, stir it Image

Fair point - I believe they do it on World Rankings, no? Are England in the top 7? (taking into account RSA). If not, the group works because there's no two teams in the same confederation.

Holland can't qualify. They are a region of the Netherlands.

teams that go through the playoffs should not get first seed, that is a joke, and so is the seeding in the playoffs, fifa only did it to try and make sure the big stars are there for the tv dollars

Yeah, I reckon. I wonder if the process is on wiki...

2006 is; no page on 2010 seeding as yet:

As an Englishman I could only wish for a group that contained those three footballing minnows.

Fifa only decided to seed them about six weeks ago. When the original draw for qualifying groups was done it was said the eight runners up would not be seeded.

You mean when the tv stations pointed out how much they wouldn't be paying for the next World Cup rights if Fifa didn't rig it to keep the big teams in?

I rekon they are seeded in 4 groups

Top 8
Second 8
Third 8
Bottom 8

And then 1 from each of these goes into the group
