The seedings for the Russia 2018 World Cup draw are out today.
All the places are decided except for whether Italy or Croatia are #1 seeds. Italy have to beat Portugal tomorrow to guarantee 1st seed, otherwise its Croatia.
Wales are a #1 seed. Northern Ireland have got up to pot 3. The Faroes have jumped to pot 4! I am a bit disappointed that both Wales and Portugal are pot 1 as I'd like to see Bale and Ronaldo drawn against each other. Maybe at the Euros.
Pot 1: Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Romania, England, Wales, Portugal, Spain, Croatia/Italy
Pot 2: Croatia/Italy, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, France, Iceland, Denmark, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Pot 3: Poland, Ukraine, Scotland, Hungary, Sweden, Albania, N Ireland, Serbia, Greece
Pot 4: Turkey, Slovenia, Israel, Republic of Ireland, Norway, Bulgaria, Faroe Islands, Montenegro, Estonia
Pot 5: Cyprus, Latvia, Armenia, Finland, Belarus, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Moldova
Pot 6: Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Georgia, Malta, San Marino, Andorra
For Northern Ireland I'd gladly take a group of Romania, Iceland, NI, Faroes, Moldova, Andorra.
That'd work out lovely

I can kind of understand Wales jumping up there as they have put in the performances against the #2 team in the world Belgium
But Romania is odd considering the easy Euros group they have. Just goes to show France suffering from not playing competitive games in the build up to next year

They haven't been accepted by FIFA, I believe.

Hopefully get accepted at a later date and put straight through to the finals.

Switzerland had a half decent world cup performance, not sure who Romania is blowing for that 1st pot seeding...
