you rank them different, but in the end we still have the same teams that qualify

They might rank them different but they rank them correctly at least ;).

Have one question if someone can ansewr me on that:

There is some group of 5 and group of 6 teams, and I want to know if there will be like in real football that in these 6 teams group match with worst team is erased and than we count seed for next round and who is qualified for next round, or it will take something else?

If it's anything like last time we had uneven group sizes, then no there's no equaliser. Everything is still done by place/points/gd so in effect 5 team groups get 2 fewer games.

I don't believe it's necessarily fair though. Thing is, in the end 1/2 from all 5 team groups qualify and if you finish 3rd in a 5 team group you can pretty much forget about making the WC.

That problem could have been avoided by simply creating 16 groups. That way the top 2 qualify and there is none of this 3rd place balls or issues with unbalanced groups. Common sense though? We dont need any of that! ;)

could make a cutoff saying top X ranked teams progress to qualifications, such that each group has the same number of games.

I just had another focus than showing the currently qualified teams (which was only the minor objective of my list) ;p

About the 5team groups, i agree with the erasing of the worst of the 6 group teams ...
2009-03-04 13:35:12
I agree to, with erasing 6-th team results when making final position

So I forgot that situation was the same, so there has nothing changed, so we didn't destroy last opponent as we could and that's why we are only in second pot for WC for now, which wouldn't be case if we won 25:0 as we could do it....but countries in 5 teams group is in very hard position, cause they can't get to first pot in WC, and 3-th team don't have any chance to get to wc as well

I would like if some admin can post here some rules about WC, specialy about that 6-th team

thanks

those are not interesting with the WC itself in mind ;)

But the ones mentionned (belgie, nederland, polska, italia, germany, france, ceska rep.) are all possible semi finalists for the next wc ;)
2009-03-07 11:05:41

Do you underestimate Guatemalas chances of winning the WC ;D
2009-03-07 11:10:13

Hey guys!

when we won to Lietuva most of you said "you had loads of luck"!
we prefared to say that we had been working hard for that luck to come.

It seems you will have to keep saying that we are lucky and keep ignoring our work ;)

France 1 - Uruguay 1
