Is the men's soccer World Cup draw in groups after four teams in each group are in place, or four teams in four positions and eight teams in groups?

The World Cup grouping should ensure that teams from all continents except Europe do not enter the same group, and only two European teams can appear in the same group at most.

After the fourth team and the seed team were determined, the procedures for drawing lots by groups were also announced. As the host, Brazil entered Group A for the first time, occupying the position of A 1. The other seven seed teams were drawn into the other seven groups. That is, in the order from B to H, it becomes "1" of that group.

After determining the seed teams of each group, the second group was drawn into eight groups in turn, then the third group and finally the fourth group.
