I saw Ronaldo quoted saying he didn't wanna play France. I always assumed they would seed four of the teams as they have in the past. If they did that, I don't see how France and Portugal wouldn't be seeded. How would Portugal possibly draw France?

I'm confused.
It's very confusing as the permutations are countless! FIFA's rankings will have something to do with the seeding. If qualification ended today, the rankings of the playoff teams are:

10 - Croatia
11 - Portugal
12 - Greece
22 - Sweden
25 - France
26 - Ukraine
49 - Turkey
54 - Iceland

France and Portugal could meet up if they both make it through as the French are unlikely to be seeded for the play-off round.
