The seeding for the draw was based on the ranking during qualification, the better your record in qualification, the higher your ranking. In that Germany were ranked No4, so went into Pot one. France were No7, so were the top ranked team in Pot 2 and Portugal were ranked No13, so again top ranked in their Pot. Its was just the luck of the draw that saw them pulled out from their different pots to face each other.
