[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 741135, member: 55446"] I'm happy with two methods: 1. Proper, robust seedings 2. A completely random draw Both systems are fair. But the current system sucks. Rather than ranking teams appropriately, it seeds the teams through a snapshot from an extremely small time frame within the whole WC cycle, so it isn't resistant towards temporary blips from teams (as happened with Wales). If you're going to seed, take an average of a team's ranking over several periods. [/QUOTE]
