So, they've announced the seedings for the draw:
The pots are therefore:
Pot 1 (seeds): South Africa, Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentina, England
Pot 2 (Asia, Oceania and North/Central America): Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Australia, New Zealand, United States, Mexico, Honduras
Pot 3 (Africa and South America): Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, Algeria, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay
Pot 4 (Europe): France, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland, Greece, Serbia, Denmark, Slovakia
The draw itself is set up so that a seed won't play someone from the same confederation, with the exception that each group can have two UEFA teams in it.
Worst possible draw for England? I reckon USA, Ivory Coast and Portugal. Best possible is probably New Zealand, Algeria and Switzerland.
