<p><strong>General procedure</strong></p><p>The 32 teams that have qualified for the World Cup are divided into four pots of eight teams.</p><p>Teams are drawn from each pot and allocated into eight groups.</p><p>Pot 1 is emptied first, followed by Pot 2, then Pot 3 and finally Pot 4.</p><p>The procedure will see a ball drawn from the team pot and then allocated one of eight groups, from A to H.</p><p><strong>Draw constraints </strong></p><ol><li>A number of constraints are observed in the draw. They are: </li><li>As hosts, Qatar are represented by a different colour ball and are allocated to the position A1. The remaining seven top seeds are then drawn as the primary teams in groups B to H. </li><li>FIFA's general principle is to have only one team from each qualification zone in a single group. This means that Brazil cannot be paired with Ecuador, for example. However, the principle does not apply to UEFA teams. </li><li>Each group must have at least one, but not more than two UEFA teams. With 13 places reserved for European teams, this means five out of the eight groups will have two teams from that continent. </li></ol><p>Got it? <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/world-cup-2022-draw-how-it-works-seeding/blta904bf773cce12b2" target="_blank"><strong>Read our full explainer here!</strong></a></p>

Third time lucky for USMNT?

<p>Here is more from England boss Gareth Southgate speaking to <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport" target="_blank">BBC Sport </a>about the draw:</p><p>"When you’re seeded then you get the advantage of missing out on those big six or seven teams. So for most of the first seeds they would be pleased with the group they get.</p><p>"There are some highly ranked teams in pot two and the USA are an interesting one.</p><p>"I know Gregg Berhalter quite well. We have met a few times and had a long chat about things, in fact the last time was just a few weeks ago.</p><p>"They’ve got some very good players and we know what they could be capable of as a nation, so that one inparticular is an intriguing game."</p>

'We know what USA are capable of'

<p>England manager Gareth Southgate has been giving his reaction to the draw.</p><p>He told <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport" target="_blank">BBC Sport: </a>“The first two (teams) we have not played for a while. The third is a total unknown but throws up a possible British derby, so we know what they are all about. We’ve had plenty of them.</p><p>"We are in on day one so it is quite clear know what our programme looks like with the end of the Premier League season and getting out here as quickly as possible.</p><p>"The first objective is to get out of the group, regardless of the opposition, and go from there."</p><p>On whether not knowing their third opponent hampers preparation: "I think in this situation all our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. So when the tie is played it is irrelevant really, it is for the rest of us to adapt and provide them the opportunity to play as and when they are able to."</p>

Let's remind ourselves of the seeding pots

<p><strong>HOW IT WORKS</strong></p><ul><li>Teams are to be drawn into eight groups of four.</li><li>As hosts, Qatar automatically go into Group A as the first team.</li><li>Teams from Pot 1 are drawn first, then Pot 2, then Pot 3 and, lastly, Pot 4.</li></ul><p><strong>ARE THERE ANY CONSTRAINTS?</strong></p><ul><li>With the exeption of UEFA, teams from the same federation cannot be drawn together. So the USMNT (Pot 2) and Canada (Pot 4) cannot be in the same group.</li><li>Each group will have at least one UEFA team, but not more than two. Five out of the eight groups will have two UEFA teams.</li><li>Three placeholders for the remaining qualifiers will populate Pot 4. These placeholders are for the final UEFA qualifier and the two intercontinental play-off winners.</li></ul>

How does the draw work again? 🤔

<p>"I'm going to Qatar, but as a fan," said the recently retired Argentina legend. "I have a great relationship with everyone from the national team but I don't see myself in the coaching staff and with the players on a day-to-day basis. They are asking for a role that isn't for me right now. </p><p>"I had a talk with [Lionel Messi], he and [Lionel] Scaloni gave me an idea of what they wanted from me.
