That won't last, man. I know it's new, but did you see how many perennial powers were pissed at the new system? FIFA rankings are ****ed up and EVERYONE knows it. I didn't like the old system, but it's far better than the arbitrary bullshit they did with this WC. I sincerely doubt we'll see FIFA do that again with the seedings.
Now, they MIGHT do it if they switch to a 1-seed, 2-seed, 3-seed and 4-seed format to guarantee your group isn't overloaded or underloaded. But I bet they go back to the old system, because this year's seeding was even more ****ed up than usual.
