    Deciding the seeding pots ignores the group points and just goes off FIFA rankings? If so that’s dumb.

    Yeah it is pretty stupid. That table that decides who doesn't make it out of the 2nd placed teams should be used. Top 4 seeded.

    Chile are gonna miss out I think. Two down and a winner for either Peru or Paraguay and they are gone. Shame, an entertaining side usually in tournaments.

    Wait a second, the US didn't qualify?

    How I wish I followed football right now. If only Argentina had missed out too, that would be like a dream come true.

    That is one of the all-time boilovers. Makes our flapping seem almost pedestrian. Almost.

    Honduras' equaliser for 2-2 was a rebound off the back of Ochoa's head.

    EDIT: And Panama got a goal that didn't actually cross the line. Oh my.

    Chile have been absolutely stinking lately and don't deserve a spot. Chuffed for Peru, hope they make it.

    Messi dragging Argentina through and the Yanks out in the most impossible series of events. What a night.

    I just saw that. I'm not sure who I'd want to replace him, to be honest. I wonder if Tony Popovic would consider bailing early.

    Messi. Wish I’d been able to catch some of last night’s action. Panama and Peru (potentially) at the World Cup is crazy.

    Such a shame Argentina got through but I didn't realise they only had to beat Ecuador, so them not qualifying was probably blown out of proportion and was never in doubt.

    I imagine Gianni Infantino waking up now is like when we all woke up to a Trump victory, but without the lols. Didn't even bother bunging the refs by the looks of it.

    Hadn’t won in Quito since 2001, altitude, on a stinking run of form, one man team, behind after 49 seconds... there was definitely a real sense they were going to blow it. Before last night they had scored 16 goals in 17 games. For reference, only Bolivia scored less goals than Argentina.

    Hopefully Sampaoli can get them going with a bit more time this summer.

    Conceding early was great news for them as it took out the option of the 'Oh, we'll nick it in the second half' 0-0 disaster which has befallen them previously. As soon as you go a goal down and the task is brutally clear, players (or a player) of that quality will complete it 90% of the time. In those circumstances, I mean. I'm not saying 90% of 1-0 leads end in defeat.

    This is the pot situation for the finals:

    1
    Russia
    Brazil
    Portugal
    Argentina
    Belgium
    France
    Germany
    Poland

    2
    England
    Spain
    Mexico
    Uruguay
    Colombia
    (Peru)
    (Italy)
    (a.n. other)

    Everyone will want Poland and then Russia, presumably.

    We will get the most boring possible group, as we always do. Slovakia sadly haven't made it, so it'll probably be:

    Poland
    England
    Tunisia
    Saudi Arabia

    Probably drawing 0-0 with Tunisia on the last day to squeeze through on goal difference.

    We will actually have a 50% or greater chance of getting Brazil or Argentina, because there are 4 South American teams (inc Mexico) who will have to be drawn against European teams.

    Actually that's a lie as Mexico are CONCACAF. Still, Brazil/Argentina are the most likely draws for us.

    Did they change the seeding rules?

    Used to be:

    Pot 1: 8 highest seeded teams
    Pot 2: Africa and rest of South America
    Pot 3: Asia/Oceania and North America
    Pot 4: Rest of Europe

    Typically Pot 4 is more than 8 teams so the remaining teams are randomly drawn into Pot 2 (which is the one lacking).

    Yeah it's now 4 pots, albeit with the same continent separation as before, i.e. you can't have two from the same continent in a group except for Europe.

    Italy, Spain, and England are going to get groups of death by default, surely.

    Also, how did Spain drop down into Pot 2?
