Hahaha how the Mexicans would hate that, having to thank the gringos for keeping them alive. So it's Mexico vs New Zealand. Would've love to have seen 3 Central Americans at the World Cup but Panama just couldn't do the business at home.

Why? Because the seedings are done on ranking and not on group performance?

Pretty much lol They even brought up winning the 98 World Cup like that's relevant in 2013 smh

They're complaining to FIFA about it but the real unfair system is the best second place rankings that Deacon pointed out that's a joke.

Yep its a joke really, people complain that the AFC gets a spot too many which may be true, but look at the North American conference, 3.5 spots is way too many for that region. Costa Rica and Honduras please

CONCACAF should be 1.5 those teams are straight up garbage. It's designed to give the seppo's a free ride to make money in that market though

The October rankings (upon which the seeds are based) still need to come out first. The September rankings are

Croatia (10), Portugal (11), Greece (12), Sweden (22), France (25), Ukraine (26), Romania (31), Iceland (54)

Croatia, Portugal. and Greece will be seeded. But that last spot could go to Sweden, France, or Ukraine depending on how many WCQ wins they had over the last week and the ranking of the team(s) they beat.

It would be crazy if we got Portugal v France.
