World Cup Pots confirmed. Let's start the simulations.
Also interesting there there are pathways. Spain, Argentina, France and England cannot meet until the semis if they win their groups.
That means if France is drawn in one of group C,J,K,L England will be in E,F,G,H,I and similarly for Spain and Argentina.
As always Inter-Confederation playoff winners cant be in groups with confederations they beat or their own confederation. So an IC playoff winner is definitely not ending up in groups A,B,D because theres a concacaf team in both pathways.
Therefore Mexico, Canada and US have a 4 out 10 chance to get a Pot 4 European, unless they have already drawn 2 Europeans in Pot 2 and 3.
Also the order of matches has been predetermined instead of drawn.
Canada will open in Toronto against a Pot 4 team (cough, Italy)
