Draw details for 2018 World Cup finalized
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/draw-detai ... 03196.htmlThe seedings will be as followed:
Pot 1: Hosts Russia plus the top seven teams according to the rankings
Pot 2: Teams ranked 7-15
Pot 3: Teams ranked 16-24
Pot 4: Team ranked 24-32
Of course, it won’t go directly on the FIFA rankings because some teams currently ranked inside the top 32 (I’m looking at you, the Netherlands, USA and Iceland) may not qualify for Russia.

Those teams are probable top seeds so unlikely to be in one group - plus FIFA usually has max 2 Euro teams per group.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:Germany

Re: Draw details for 2018 World Cup finalized
This is a better method, if and only if the rankings are anywhere close to being accurate WHICH THEY ARE NOT.
CAF needs to petition to have those home based tournaments like CHAN removed from the FIFA rankings consideration.
Also they need to petition along with concacaf and AFC to have the biased confederation multiplier removed.

Re: Draw details for 2018 World Cup finalized
CAF should reclassify CHAN as a B team tournament. Which is effectively what it is. Should have the same impact on the rankings as the Olympics mens tournament - i.e. none.vancity eagle wrote:CAF needs to petition to have those home based tournaments like CHAN removed from the FIFA rankings consideration.

Re: Draw details for 2018 World Cup finalized
No more 'easy' groups for pot 4 teams.
Of course the luck of being easy group would come from the 'flawed' rankings.

From those pots I fancy:
Poland
Wales
Iran
Nigeria
A group that we can manage if we are on it. Wales is a one man team, Poland is also a one man team and Iran is very beatable.

Re: Draw details for 2018 World Cup finalized
Doesn't matter who is in the group..It's the order of play, particularly the first game is key...Get 3 points in your first game and the permutations become somewhat more manageable.

If Germany or Brazil is in your group n wahala be dat.

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT
Re: Draw details for 2018 World Cup finalized
You can't measure yeams like that. They are not going to face the same teams under the same circumstances. Better team can fail to make the second round. It's about the challenges before them and how they surmount them.Tbite wrote:Our team is better now than it was then and if I remember correctly, we finished 2nd in the group.The YeyeMan wrote:We said the same about Iran last time.TheHitman47 wrote:From those pots I fancy:
