About me:
Software engineer, happily unmarried and non-religious. You won't find me on Twitter or other so called social media. Dutchman, joined the blog in March 2018.
So the European pots for the 2022 WC could be:
ReplyDelete1: Belgium, France, England, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy
2: Sweden, Poland, Netherlands, Wales, Ukraine, Ireland, Slovakia, Austria, Romania, Northern Ireland
3: Iceland, Serbia, Turkey, Czech Republic, Bosnia, Hungary, Russia, Scotland, Norway, Finland
4: Greece, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Albania, Macedonia, Israel, Belarus, Cyprus, Luxembourg
5: Georgia, Estonia, Armenia, Faeroe Islands, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Lithuania, Andorra, Latvia
6: Moldova, Malta, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, San Marino
And 16 months to go to the draw, if I'm not mistaken.
On what are you basing this information?
DeleteA couple of UEFA administrators have said there will be ten groups, five of six and five of five. The pots of course will fluctuate a lot in 16 months.
DeleteYes the 10 groups makes perfect sense. The big question is: when will the draw be made and on what ranking will they base the pots? It will be a very intriguing qualifying tournament with just group winners guaranteed a place in Qatar.
DeleteWhere is the effect of west Asia champion on the table?
ReplyDeleteInspite of Iraqi national team won palastine, Lebanon, yamen. Iraq hasn't won any point. But Saudi lost with Jordan and Kuwait and..... Hahaha
ReplyDeleteMatches in the West Asian Championship counted only as friendlies (played outside an International match Window) and thus they had an I-factor of only 5. So champion Bahrain won only 8 points with their 3 wins and a draw in that tournament.
ReplyDeleteThey win another 10 points with the predicted draw against Iraq and win against Cambodia in next week's Asian WC qualifiers.
