France, Portugal, Russia and Greece will be seeded in the playoffs to decide the final four European spots at the 2010 World Cup. They were the four highest-ranked of the playoff teams in the FIFA world rankings published Friday, meaning they cannot face each other in the two-legged playoffs on Nov. 14 and 18. Instead they will be paired against the four non-seeded teams - Ukraine, Ireland, Bosnia and Slovenia - with the draw to be announced Monday. FIFA was criticized for waiting until last month before deciding to seed the playoffs.
