World Cup Seedings

[2Pax]

They were announced today, no surprise to see Brazil ranked number 1, but England are number 2 .

I still don't know where they get the ranking from though, Mexico made the top 8 but Holland didn't

"[FIFA] looked at teams' record in the 2002 and 1998 finals and their world ranking over the last three years."

Holland didn't even make the 2002 World Cup, so that won't have helped.

Sssh :sad:


But the people that make these things are stupid. These teams didn't play 8 years ago in '98. That result is irrelevant. They should look at their qualifying performance or something.

I'm glad we're seeded but i never understood teams like Mexico or USA having a high world ranking. Just cos they play the likes of Panama. Put either of thgem in Euro qualifying and they'd barely win a game.

oh youre right

and european teams play the likes of Malta

Mexico has a very good team and i heard they are about 30 games undefeated

THe way they listed the groups Brasil and Germany can only face each other at the finals IF they make it...


edit: Mexico made a great confederations cup, even finishing at 4th, but played really well against Brasil and Germany
