Hosts Germany, Brazil, Italy, France, Argentina, Spain, Mexico and England were named as the top eight seeds for next year's World Cup finals by FIFA on Tuesday.

The decision was taken by the World Cup organizing committee and is based on world rankings over the past three years and performances in the two previous World Cups.

What a crock. This is based only on POWER.
