The only interesting part to this draw is where the Europeans go.

There can only be 2 Europeans max in a group.
There are 7 Europeans in Pot 1. 5 Europeans in Pot 2/3 and the 4 playoff Europeans in Pot 4.

If one of the 5 Pot 2/3 Europeans goes into a Pot 1 European's group, that group is now closed to Europeans and the chance Canada has to draw a Pot 4 European increases.
Canada could draw Italy, Ukraine, New Zealand or Cape Verde. The difference is huge.
