I thought it was Fifa that did the World Cup and Uefa the European champinoships?
Not that it matters who organises it.

Both organisations have had corruption issues, although Fifa under Blatter was exceptionally bad.

Althogh a second seed Wales have drawn the short straw with Belgium in the group. Had a look at the play off path and it is complicated with two teams joining the ten group runner ups based on European League standings. Three will join the ten group winners at the end of it.

Well done, Lindsay, you spotted my deliberate mistake.

Of course it's FIFA, I don't know what I was thinking unless it was the fact that it was the European qualifying draw. Mea culpa, and I've corrected the title.
