The four pots that will determine the draw for the 2014 World Cup have been confirmed by FIFA. The draw will take place this Friday afternoon as everyone anxiously awaits to see who will be this year's group of death and the path their home nation need to take to reach the knock-out stage.

The big news of the day sees the nine unseeded European teams all clustered in the same pot - pot four - while pot two only has seven teams.

The pots will be as follows:

Pot 1 (Seeded Teams)
Brazil
Argentina

Colombia
Uruguay
Belgium
Germany
Spain
Switzerland

Pot 2 (South America and Africa)
Algeria
Cameroon
Cote d'Ivoire
Ghana
Nigeria
Chile
Ecuador

Pot 3 (Concacaf and Asia)
Australia
Iran
Japan
Korea Republic
Costa Rica
Honduras
Mexico
USA

Pot 4 (Europe)
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Croatia
England
France
Greece
Italy
Netherlands
Portugal
Russia

The rules for the draw allow for only two European teams to be in the same group while the other teams cannot be grouped together with teams from their same federations.

Since Chile and Ecuador cannot be in the same group as other South American nations, by rule, these two nations will have to be in the same group as one of the European top seeds.

With pot four containing nine teams, there will be a special accommodation made that will see one of the teams from the pot placed into a special pot in the begining of the draw to even out the groups. This will see one of these teams grouped together with one of the South American top seeds.
