    My bet is that England will end up the 8th seed. Though if Mexico keeps playing like it has, it could slide in there as the first non-host, non-SA/Euro seed. It will be interesting to see, as it gets closer, what it will take for various scenarios to happen.

    At a glance, though, with all the other teams ahead of them, it looks unlikely that Italy could make it back up there where people expect them.

    Mexico was a seed already in 2006, so it would not be a first for non-SA/Euro seed! I predict that FIFA will find a way of making Holland, Germany, Uruguay, Argentina, England and Italy the 6 seeds apart from Spain and Brazil.
