FIFA rankings again 10:15 - Sep 4 with 5314 views

Now some people have got their heads round the fact FIFA rankings actually do benefit the countries seeded regards World Cup and Euro championship seedings and group placement.

HAVE A GUESS WHAT ?

Win on Sunday v Israel and Wales guarantee a fourth seeded place. And it could even be second !

I been trin to explain but they won't listen to me.

Yes this means we can only draw clubs seeded under us...whatever happens we won't be drawing from the top 10 seeds

So advantage Wales in the draws..or summit like that

Yep, if we beat Israel we're guaranteed fourth spot next month, will be higher if Belgium and/or Germany don't win all their games.

Sadly though the FIFA rankings aren't used in the euro finals so we'll definitey be in pot 4 for that.

You have to smile at the rankings eh?

FIFA Rankings - we are 9th, probably 4th after Sunday. In the entire world!

UEFA Rankings - we have just moved up to 27th!................

You mean 4th spot in the FIFA World Rankings?

The ranking is based on points accumulated over the last 4 years. Our form for the first 3 of those years was terrible, so we haven't got as many points to lose as the other teams. Just looking at 2015 Wales have more points than any other country. Does that mean we are the best in the world on current form?

The rankings are a load of old shite in reality, same as what we have been telling the English fans for the past 20 years.

So if we're seeded above Germany, Spain, Italy and just about every other genuine European powerhouse we can still draw them but with them a potentially lower seeds. Sounds wonderful.

You could get in to the third pot if you win all 3 games and results go your way couldn't you?
