According to the lottery rules published by FIFA, the lottery is divided into five steps: first, a team in the fourth file is drawn into the second file, so that there are 8 teams in each of the four files. In the second step, the host Brazil team was divided into Group A, and the other seven top teams were drawn into Groups B to H in turn. The third step is to put the fourth team of Central and South America in the first file into an X can, and draw a team from it, which will be divided into a group with the European team drawn in the fourth file. The reason for this is to follow the principle of different teams on the same continent and avoid three European teams being in the same group. The fourth step is to draw out the second team in turn and enter the remaining seven positions in Group A-H. Similarly, two South American teams in Chile and Ecuador can not do without the four South American teams in the first team. Step 5, pull out the third gear and the fourth gear in turn. [27]
