I'm watching the live press conference from Brazil.

The Pots have been allocated. Platini has his hands all over it. Instead of France being the worst European team and going into the African pot, one of the 9 non-seeded Europeans will be drawn seperately and moved into the African Pot. So essentially France is now on equal footing with Holland.

I have no idea why Brazil would agree to this, now it is possible to have tough European team be moved to "Pot 2" and 25% chance of going into Brazil's group.

Can have a group like this.

Brazil
Italy
Holland
Japan
