England Seeded in 2006 World Cup
England are one of the top eight seeds for the 2006 World Cup.
The top pool consists of hosts Germany, holders Brazil as well as Argentina, France, Italy, Spain and Mexico.
This means England will avoid meeting these countries in the group stages when the main draw for the tournament is made on Friday 9th December 2005.
Fifa used the same ranking co-efficient as in 2002 when seedings were based on performances at the previous two finals and a position based on world rankings from the previous three years.
POT ONE Germany (hosts) Brazil (holders)Argentina England France Italy Mexico Spain
POT TWO Australia Angola Ghana Ivory Coast Togo Tunisia Ecuador Paraguay
POT THREE Croatia Czech Republic Netherlands Poland Portugal Sweden Switzerland Ukraine
POT FOUR Iran Japan Saudi Arabia South Korea Costa Rica Trinidad & Tobago US
Special pot: Serbia & Montenegro
As soon as the groups are known I'll post them.
