DRAW PROCEDURE (from FIFA):
There will be four pots of teams. Each pot contains eight teams. The pots will be drawn in numerical order beginning with Pot 1. In principle, the groups will be filled in order from A-H with one team from each pot.
The principle of geographic separation maintains that teams from the same confederation will not be allowed to occupy the same group. Therefore groups may need to be skipped over in order to avoid geographic clashes within groups.
This will be achieved specifically as follows: The first two African teams drawn from Pot 3 will be placed into the groups with Brazil and Argentina. The first South American team drawn from Pot 3 will be placed into Group A with South Africa.
There will be one exception to the principle of geographic separation: A maximum of two European teams may occupy the same group, and this will be the case in five of the eight groups.
