This is how the groups would have looked if the draw was made after the playoffs were played. The real draw was made with six placeholders, and they were placed all in Pot 4, with the rest of the lower ranked teams. So, a possible group could have had France, Uruguay and Italy, had they qualified.>How was this done?At the time of the real draw, Korea for example, was the 9th best ranked team from Pot 2, had they waited until March/April the 9th best team would have been Turkey, so that's the name that would have been drawn instead, all in the same order as they were drawn, but with the displaced rankings taken into account. Of course, following the rules of no more than one team per confederation except for UEFA and all of that.What do you think? Are these groups more equitative or with so many teams it wouldn't make a real difference?
Wait why aren't Germany in Pot 1?
