How does this work? Someone mentioned in the Scotland thread that finishing runners up in our group gives us a shot at being second seeds for the next qualifiers....sadly these are based on rankings not where you finished last so I had a look on the FIFA website to see where we currently are....25th in Europe, we need to be in the top 20 to be in pot two.
Wiki has a formula for calculating points but it doesn't stack up against the movement in points I saw on the FIFA site after our last round of games. From looking at the change in points in the FIFA table I would guess we would need to actually qualify for Qatar to stand a chance of overtaking the teams above us to get in that second pot for the Euro's.
Any experts on FIFA rankings out there?
