When looking at the match schedule I noticed that A1 v A2, B1 v B2 etc are part of the opening round of matches in each pool. So that means the supposed two best teams in each group face each other in the first group match, all of which take place over the first five days. With first group games historically containing the fewest goals, as teams play not to lose, I suspect it’s going to mean a bunch of tight snoozefests as the teams from pot two will park the bus and play for a point or to pinch it on the break, as they know they’ve got two ‘easier’ games to go.

if i remember correctly they draw for slot in the group once they have drawn for the group
for example england gets drawn into group A-H then into slot 1-4 (depending which are still free)

iirc 1 in A gets 2 in B and so on
so we finish 2nd in G (say) we'd get the winner of Poland's group
or go home
