Blog Article

The final draw for the2014 FIFA World Cupwill take place on the 6th December, with the pots being announced sometime in early December. Theseeding for the draw is based on the October 2013 FIFA Milton Williams Jersey World Ranking, and the teams will be arranged in 4 pots based on both seeding and geographical location. It has been confirmed that Pot 1 will contain Brazil, being the host team, as well as the top 7 ranked teams. Judging by previous years, the other pots will be sorted geographically, so we can have a decent gue s as to who might be in the remaining pots.Not including the teams in Pot 1, there are 9 European team, 5 African teams, 4 Asian teams (Australia takes part in AFC qualifiers, so counts as an Asian team), 4 North American teams and 2 South American teams.
