From the BBC live updates, pretty spot on if you ask me!

BBC Sport - Football - Live - 2014 World Cup qualifying draw

WALES
BEST CASE: Norway, Slovakia, Hungary, Albania, Faroe Islands.
As part of Pot Six, Wales - who made their only appearance at a World Cup finals since 1958 - cannot avoid being drawn in a six-team group. So a line-up looks about as appealing as it could get for Gary Speed's team.
WORST CASE: Spain, France, Switzerland, Scotland, Macedonia.
Wales could conceivably sink without trace in this group, with Scotland proving too good for them in the recent Carling Nations Cup.

SCOTLAND
BEST CASE: Norway, Slovakia, Hungary, Faroe Islands.
Scotland were hammered 4-0 by Norway in the last set of World Cup qualifiers, but on paper they look the weakest of the top seeds. Scotland would certainly be motivated.
WORST CASE: Spain, France, Switzerland, Macedonia, Iceland.
Scotland famously beat France in the Euro 2008 qualifiers and ran Spain close in a Euro 2012 encounter in October. But taking on two of Europe's heavyweights in qualifying will be something Craig Levein is keen to avoid as Scotland aim to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.

NORTHERN IRELAND
BEST CASE: Norway, Slovakia, Hungary, Faroe Islands.
Not since 1998 have Norway qualified for the World Cup finals, so arguably they have the weakest pedigree of the top seeds. Manager Nigel Worthington might view them as the easiest option in the top pot.
WORST CASE: Spain, France, Switzerland, Macedonia, Iceland
A group containing bewitching world champions Spain and reinvigorated powerhouse France - plus the up-and-coming Swiss - would be the most daunting task imaginable.

ENGLAND
BEST CASE: Slovakia, Hungary, Albania, Faroe Islands.
There is the glittering chance of being part of only one five-team group in European qualifying. That would surely mean less grey hairs for stressed-out Premier League bosses, relieved to see their stars playing two less competitive internationals. Slovakia are the lowest-ranked side in Pot 2 - but they're no slouches, as they proved in knocking holders Italy out of the 2010 World Cup.
WORST CASE: France, Switzerland, Scotland, Macedonia, Iceland.
France, world champions in 1998 but a disaster in South Africa last year, showed in their friendly victory over England in November that they are getting back on track. Never short of stars. The Swiss were runners-up to world-conquering Spain at this summer's European Under-21 Championships and are building a strong side. A trip to Hampden Park against the Auld Enemy needs no hyperbole.
