The principle of mainland avoidance in the World Cup draw in South Africa

Mainly to avoid African teams such as South Africa and South American teams such as Brazil and Argentina in the same group.

Specifically, there are five African teams in the third gear. If you put C? te d 'Ivoire in Group C according to your point of view, assuming that African teams draw lots one after another, then the remaining three African teams will be drawn into DEF Group III and Brazil will be in Group G, so Brazil will inevitably meet a South American team. Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, we should first draw African teams together with Brazil and Argentina, so as to prevent African teams from meeting all continents because there are not enough teams in the end.
