Platini admits France v Brazil 1998 World Cup final was "designed"
Fixed so that France couldn't get Brazil until the final.

dont wanna read it regardless. quality world cup and france were brillaintI don't think they've actually done anything there, being kept apart based on winning the group is a 1:2 chance. As corrupt as FIFA are, I think Platini's just stirring.

No-one can 'fix' the World Cup. Depending on where you finish in the group, you go into a different part of the draw.
You still have to win all the knock-out stage games to get to the final.
Where it can be slanted in your favour is in the choice of hotels and stadiums and the number of days between games and distance to be travelled.
And of course the country that hosts the tournament is a big factor. European teams do poorly in hot climates.
