How do they determine which team plays who in the group stage first?
For example how do they determine that Brazil opened against the North Koreans instead of say the Portuguese playing North Korea first etc. Does anyone know if there is a definite way they do this?

Theres teams In Poll A , Poll B , Poll C and Poll D
Poll A is all the favorites and Home team , poll B was teams from CONCACAF and somewhere else , so for example in the Draw South Africa came out FIrst and then Mexico came out so they played the first game

Oh okay . Thanks Jimmy. It seems to me that they favor the top seeds for some reason.
