To be fair they've genuinely been alright lately. Didn't lose any of their Euro matches in regular time, have won all their WC qualifiers, including a win against Portugal. They might not be doing it particularly glamorously, but they've been getting results. Also Petkovic doesn't care for friendlies, unless they provide a tactical advantage, like getting the team some experience on an artificial pitch, before an upcoming qualifier on one. And friendlies are pretty much a lose lose situation.

>almost back to the top 100
thanks šuker!

I wonder how long until Sweden is at least on that list. Playing well against 6,7,8,12,13 last year and getting better. Watch out!

This "ranking" stuff is so bias and stupid. We all know these countries pay off these "statisticians" and "soccer-metrics" people.

Rankings don't mean shit until you get the W.

I mean look at us Americans, we're the #1 best country in the world and we're never ranked high in soccer, further proving my point.

Friendlies have a negative impact desu. You earn more than twice as many points from qualifiers, so friendlies will just drag your average down, since it's based on how many matches you play.

>>75066316
>>75069809
aren't they expanding the field to 48 for the 2022 WC onwards? so now even more shitty teams get to be in.

>>75069842
Yes, CONCACAF will have the same amount as CONMEBOL and a shitload of spots will go to Asia.

Fifa is just catering to those shit countries because unfortunately Vietnam vote has the same weight as Brazil or Argentina.

>>75069883
Ironically enough, FIFA insisted on the right of equal voting and equal revenue shares for its own corrupt purposes, because by designating the likes of martinique and gibraltar as equal countries on their own, those countries' revenue from FIFA serves as a significant local economy boost. which therefore serves as a bribe to let people like sepp do whatever the fuck they want within FIFA, so long as they don't get caught breaking international trade laws.

if they scaled the money only in terms of how much economic value those countries provided FIFA with, then a third of the member associations wouldn't be members, and some may not even exist at all.

so how many spots does uefa get for qatar? they have 13 now and theres 16 new ones so maybe 20?

>>75070330
France got fucked over by not having any qualifiers for the Euros. Though them doing well in the tournament itself balanced that out a bit. Switzerland have been doing pretty well the last few years. Not many losses in competitive matches, and not many friendlies to drag down their average.

>>75070472
Qatar 2022 will still have 32, it's 2026 onwards that will change. They'll also have 16 groups of 3 teams instead of 12 groups of 4 or 8 groups of 6, which is fucking retarded.

>Curaçao is the sixth best team in CONCACAF
And they want to give us even MORE spots? Absolutely insane.

So now the hex doesn't matter anymore? Just getting there is all you need to do, regardless of where you place in it?

>>75070918
They'll obviously introduce a new format for that qualifying cycle, where the 6 qualifiers come from separate groups. Which is a shame, because I like having the final round be just one group with all of the last survivors in it, especially since all the teams that can't make it that far are too shit to watch anyways. Now we'll probably get something like the gold cup with 3 groups of 4, except only the top 2 qualifying, or instead have 2 groups of 6 with the top 3 qualifying, and in either case that'd be the final round with no further stage to place the advancing teams into.

>>75070918
There's going to be a different qualifying format dumbo. Probably going to skip the hex and let the previous stage decide who goes. Maybe a a group of 9-10 like CONMEBOL. We don't know yet.

Top 24 teams on the left, in groups of 6 or 8. Bottom team goes down or have some playoff tournament to at least allow a few teams on the right the chance of moving up.
