How do England and Wales end up in the same group? Different countries and seeds presumably?

More than 1,300 fans from England and Wales with banning orders will not be allowed to travel to Qatar for this year's World Cup, the United Kingdom's Home Office has said.
The new measures, which come into effect from Friday, prevent supporters with a history of football-related violence from making the trip to the sport's showpiece event, which kicks off on Nov. 20 and runs until Dec. 18.
"We will not let the behaviour of a minority of lawbreakers tarnish what will be an exciting tournament," said Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
Last season there was a sharp rise in pitch invasions and crowd trouble across English football, with the Premier League introducing enhanced safety measures to control misbehaviour ahead of the new campaign.
The Home Office warned that fans flouting the rules could face six months in prison and an unlimited fine.
Any person who has "previously caused trouble and is deemed likely to do so again" will also be banned from travelling.
"Violence, abuse and disorder is not tolerated here, and this criminal behaviour will not be tolerated at the World Cup, which is why we are taking this firm approach," added Braverman.

The approaching men's World Cup will be the first to feature female referees, with three women set to make history in Qatar while hoping that the focus remains on their job rather than their gender.
France's Stephanie Frappart, Rwanda's Salima Mukansanga and Japan's Yoshimi Yamashita were included in the list of 36 referees selected by Fifa, while three more women will head to Qatar as assistant referees.
