Bar the 8 seeds there are no ranks. The rest of the nations are separated into confederations, and as France are UEFA they are in with the UEFA nations.
What they did last time was wrong, not this.
What did they do last time?
Put the lowest ranked UEFA team in Pot 5 all on its own.
I still think France should be in Pot 2 as the lowest ranked UEFA side.
It p1sses me off enough that Switzerland can be seeded when the rankings are meant to take in to account the last 4 years, plus Uruguay being seeded after coming through a playoff. They don't seem to have much of a clue.

Has anyone managed to read this without your head exploding?
But don't worry, because Roy says our base is more important than who we play. So it's really not that relevant if we have Brazil, Netherlands and USA as opposed to Switzerland, Algeria and Iran, just so long as the hotel and practice facilities are convenient.
Well it's what we deserve! We need to wake up and except we're a mediocre national side! And if you believe we can win the world cup does it matter who and where we play ? Because, to be the best you've got to be able beat all comers! End of story, no good blaming anyone else other than our overpaid prima donas and the people that govern them.
My point isn't that England could be moved in to Pot 2. I share your view; we aren't going to win the World Cup so we may as well be in a hard group.
My point is that once again France get special treatment because of Platini. The man who told Turkey when France was chosen ahead of them to host Euro 2016 "when there is a Turkish president at UEFA, you can host the tournament".
"There was controversy concerning the decision to give the Euro 2016 to France over Turkey. After the decision was announced, responding to the question "During Sepp Blatter's term Euro 2008 was awarded to Switzerland, during your term Euro 2016 is awarded to France, is this the new trend?" Michel Platini said "When there is a Turkish president, then you can host a major tournament"
What a major a-hole this man is.
