Arjun, the seeding was kind of unusual because Venezuela had to top one group (Brazil and Argenina the others, of course). But I agree with you.

But why is that?
Ecuador was the third placed team in World Cup Qualifying and Venezuela finished last in their Copa America group last time around.
Or is some other system used ?

Venezuela had a very lucky draw!!!
By the way, hope many and many top players will be there...
I don't understand the seeding.
Group B has 3 teams that made the round of 16 in the World Cup. Group A has well... Nolberto Solano and Claudio Pizzaro.
Surely it would make sense to even the teams out a little bit more..
