    Sepp Blatter

    If you thought this draw was convulted today, remember it could have been - and has been - worse.

    The draw for the 1982 World Cup suffered from a number of mishaps and technical problems.

    With Sepp Blatter, now Fifa's president but then the governing body's general secretary, presiding over the draw in Madrid, there was confusion as several teams were drawn in the wrong groups, before the cages began to jam and break the balls inside.

    Watch the video here.

    New Zealand have been Oceania's representatives in the play-off both times since Australia left for Asia

    American Samoa, Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga will contest an opening group. The winners of that join the seven other countries in two groups of four teams (which doubles as the OFC Nations Cup). 

    The top three teams from each of those groups then go into two further groups of three. The winners of each group face off in the final, with the victor playing an intercontinental play-off. 

    It's not for me to suggest this but they may have overcomplicated this a bit, but there's only 11 teams in the whole thing.
