Wales now gone up to 18'th in World Rankings

Re: World cup draw

2 higher not qualified so we'd be 16 which misses out on pot 2 due to Qatar.
So we're pot 4 instead of pot3 had we qualified to the normal timetable.

I think not qualifying will be harder to take after being in the draw though

Re: World cup draw

No if we got through tomorrow we'd be 3 at worst, possibly 2 though highly unlikely

I don’t understand this. Not sure why the delay in playing the play off final makes a difference to our seeding.

Qatar, USA, Iran, Wales please

That would be a laugh

I think because when the draw's done (tomorrow) they won't know if it's going to be us, Scotland or Ukraine, so they're using the lowest world ranking of the 3 rather than the highest (ours).

We are 18 uktlraine 27 Scotland 39

Think that would see us or Ukraine in pot 3 but Scotland would be in pot 4. They've decided pot 4 whoever gets through regardless. That's what was annoying me in the opening post

Re: World cup draw

Qatar in pot 1?

🤦*♂️

Speaking of Qatar, weren't they the lowest ranked international team on one of the old FIFA games? I wanna say '98 - the one with Blur - Song 2 as the intro music. Can any gamers shed any light?

I'm pretty sure in FIFA 98 Maldives Islands (as they were called) were rated 2. Qatar would most definitely have been one of the sh*t sides in The Road To The World Cup and would have had to be rated 1 to qualify as THE worst side in the International Leagues. FIFA 98 is still one of the great FIFA game titles. It had everything. I'm absolutely sure though even on amateur, you would never qualify out of the group playing as Qatar. The AI would have stuffed them!

I bet a top tier nation would kick up a stink.

Re: World cup draw

Shouldn't do the draw until all the teams are decided.
