  1. Algeria are finished. You might as well take them out too. Ridiculous events would be needed for them to qualify.

    Interesting seeding system. Too basic though if you ask me. At the very least, they should award points for positions in groups in failed qualifying campaigns, and points for World Cup qualifying Campaigns and World Cup campaigns.
