It is just silly IMO. Why not base groups on world rankings? It creates balance, and who wants to see France go through just because they were lucky enough to draw a bunch of scrub teams? The best teams should be in position to advance to the next round to create the best match ups. It is just goofy to do it randomly.. for how fair soccer is in some aspects compared to American sports (a league table vs a playoff system, for instance) I hate how they do random draws for tournaments instead of using seeding.
alright quit bitching about your group of death or this thread is going to get really boring
