Very interesting how smart administrative decisions can affect the seeding at a major tournament.  I'm sure the major nations won't make such mistakes again!

Surely this just stuffs smaller nations, as the big boys won't play them.  Why give Indonesia their biggest game in years when you can just beat Finland at home and pick up 4 times as many points?

I feel this goes against the principal of developing football around the globe.
