I hope they actually bother to seed the 3 other pots this time rather then doing it by continent I've got a feeling they won't. I don't think they've done it since 1990 and they've been scared of doing it since 1986 when they put Denmark (who'd qualified for the first time) in with the bottom seeds and ended up looking stupid when they won all 3 group games. Ukraine would present a big problem for them if they went with 4 seeded pots...
