It’s obvious Qatar would be in Pot 1, surprising then haven’t been given a bye to the Semis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so obvious.... its almost as if every host of major international comps are seeded into pot 1. Why does it always seem that way?

That’s why Korea went to Semi as host ridiculous biases
Has anyone called out the real bias here?
Why are Wales/Scotland/Ukraine in pot 4 just because Russia declared war on Ukraine?
Wales are ranked 18th in the world? They would not be in pot 4 if they had beaten Scotland/Ukraine this week.
If Portugal had been in that part of the play off draw would they really stick them in Pot 4? The answer is no.
Corruption.

I know its shocking that Italy couldnt find a way past a numerical seeding .... Korea were so lucky that day ... if they hadnt been seeded Italy would have surely cuffed them 7/8 - nil
So no one discussing that world number 18 Wales would be in pot 4 simply because of Putin?

They should be in Pot 5
International football used to be free of the influence of oil money. Now oil can buy you entry to the world cup and influence the draw in terms of seeding. Who is to blame for oil dictating football? England. England let oil murderers take over their domestic game, simply due to greed. This led to others copying to try and compete. England ruined football forever.

If it were based on oil Scotland would have been pot 1 all the time only England stole the oil and the seeding.

Furthermore, England have bled Wales dry too hence they go into pot 4.

Are they all going to be pot 1? Scotland will likely be Pot 2 by then so could avoid the big teams and get Canada. And whoever has bought their way in through oil. Newcastle maybe.

Why are Poland in Pot 3 yet playoff qualifiers Portugal get Pot 1? Both should be in 3

That could be the most exciting group. But modern fans are programmed to want the big teams to be given help to progress.
I prefer a seeding system. I'd rather watch a QF of say Germany v France than a possible Tunisia vs Senegal.
