I 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.

Cov were linked with Trezeguet in 1997, it's mentioned in that Staying Up book. Oh what might have been.

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.
