I'm looking at the ranking right now. Just imagine if Norway get into the top pot for World Cup qualifying. The victory over Ireland tonight is one more step on that path. That's going to blow some minds if it happens. If that ranking was used, you could have this group theoretically:
ReplyDeleteNorway
Montenegro
Lithuania
Albania
Azerbaijan
San Marino
Flip side
Spain
Italy/France
Sweden
Romania
Latvia
Wales
I'm English, but Wales, get the hell out of the bottom pot! That is embarrassing for British football! And with their only competitve game vs my England, it must not be done that way. I'm not sure how I'd feel if England consigned Wales to Pot F for World Cup qualifying. Maybe sort of bittersweet.
