World cup 2010 draw thread

SO with the draw imminent, the seeding was announced yesterday with England rightly being included in the top seeded group.
Seeding as follows:
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
Interestingly I'm sure they didn't separate the non-seeded teams by region before?
This effectively means England could have a draw in the two extremes. They could either draw the worst from each region or the best.
Example:
Good Draw
England
North Korea
Algeria
Slovenia
Bad Draw
England
USA
Paraguay
France
Thoughts?
