Brazil on Friday at 17:00 to all participating teams in 2014 World Cup will know their opponents and of course the desire of every representative is to avoid a potential iron group . At the press conference , which was held in Costa de Sauipe , in the state of Bahia ‘s , FIFA made it clear the final selection of teams , the division under which the lots will be drawn simultaneously will also form groups edition 20 World Cup . There is a guaranteed process and in fact not missing surprises . No further terms of four divisions , where teams are selected as representative in the last edition with a ” head series ” , which of course means this privilege belongs host country Brazil , and 7 best teams in the general classification FIFA. But one of the dilemmas exist for European teams are not head series , one of the representatives for the North American and Asian , as well as another team that will be listed with five African teams and two American – Latin , even those not considered as head series .
Here lies the most interesting fact , because in the European area are nine teams while the union asunder Africa – South America representative teams are 7 . FIFA do not select on the basis of its ranking , but will conduct a short that precedes the final one , which was explained by the Jerome Valcke . General Secretary of the highest body of football in glob said before the draw will only withdraw a ball from the receptacle number 4 , exactly where only part of the team from the Old Continent and the number 2 position in the vase, which include 5 teams from Africa but also in Chile and Ecuador . Precisely because of this maneuver will achieve final division with four pots of eight teams.
Such a choice that affects the course of all these representative without exception , even one of them can be even Italy itself , despite that this place full counts four world titles . Furthermore the European team that will be selected in this way will immediately join one of the ” heads of the series ” that are separate from South America , in order to avoid the possibility that eventually created a group with three teams from the European continent however, in this short can not also have either two teams in a group from South America . So for example if this team would then exist possibilities Italy Azzurri fall in the same group with representatives such as Brazil , the Netherlands and the United States , while the best case would be to the team as a group Switzerland , Algeria and Honduras , however, problems for FIFA would avoid and will be resolved once and for all if the European team selected in the initial lottery will be one of the representatives of the last vazos weak , Bosnia , Greece and Croatia .
