England v Slovakia

The seeding system helps England finish first. The minute this ever goes, and there's a big team in the group, qualification will change dramatically.

Part of the problem for me is that England only play big nations competitively once every 4 (or more) years when we get knocked out by them. We just breeze through qualification in 2nd gear, and cannot adjust when the good teams come along. If seeding was reduced or done away with, it might be painful for England short term, but long term it would benefit us I would suggest.
