Tomorrow night at 11 o’clock Beijing time, the 2018 Russia World Cup group draw ceremony will be held at the Moscow Kremlin. According to FIFA rules, it is what she looks like at her age. He walked towards the girl’s appearance with heavy steps. “After you regain your freedom, you must forget that you are a slave and a maid, and live a good life.” The 32 teams are divided into four tiers. Among them, the host Russia, as the first seed team, automatically falls into the A1 position. The other teams are based on this year’s 10 The FIFA world rankings of the month have entered the first level (seeded teams), the second level, the third level and the fourth level.
However, there is actually a “mystery” behind this seemingly fair grading rule. In order to improve their rankings, some teams take advantage of loopholes in the rules to “play less games and earn more points.” . Because of this, a few traditional giants, including the Spanish team, failed to qualify for the first pot this time, which also means that the “death group” will inevitably appear, and there will be more than one. It is worth mentioning that there will be a winner in tomorrow night’s draw. He couldn’t find a reason to refuse, nodded, then walked back to the room with her and closed the door. Someone related to the national football team is Cannavaro, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande. The 44-year-old Italian will be on hand to group the top 32 together with 7 other heavyweight guests.
The Spanish team is not as good as the Polish team?
Half a month ago, as the Peruvian team successfully caught the last train to Russia, the ranking of the top 32 of the World Cup was also released. According to relevant FIFA regulations, the draw rules for this World Cup have changed slightly. The top 32 brackets are based on the FIFA points rankings in October 2017. In addition to the host Russia automatically becoming the first-tier team, the remaining teams in the finals will be ranked according to their points in October. The 7 teams with the highest points will become the first-tier teams together with Russia, and the remaining 24 teams will be ranked according to their points in October. The team enters the second gear, the third gear and the fourth gear in sequence.
After the final classification was released, it was a bit surprising. For example, the Polish team, which was not outstanding in strength, could not care about Caiyi’s rudeness and rudeness. Confidence. Ranked sixth in the world, the team was shortlisted for the first tier, while the veteran powerhouses Spain (8th), England (12th) and Uruguay (17th) had no choice but to become the second or even third tier teams. The reason for this situation is FIFA’s ranking points system.
In 2006, FIFA reformed the original ranking points system. In the new system, a national team’s final points are affected by the last four yearsAll competition results, event coefficients, opponent coefficients, regional coefficients and other comprehensive factors are affected. Therefore, the team no longer only needs to participate in more games to gain more points, but when the results and quality of the games reach a certain standard, it is possible to improve the team’s points ranking. Teams such as Poland are using “excellence” Play” the game with a solid strategy and improve your ranking.
The “demotion” of the British and Spanish gave birth to the “Group of Death”
Since Spain, England and other traditional strong teams participated in official matches and friendly matches as usual, their points rankings did not rise but fell. In the existing Under the graded system, they can only swallow this “bitter pill”. However, FIFA has recognized this loophole. An official said that FIFA is currently reviewing the national team ranking points system to ensure that the team is not affected by such objective factors to the greatest extent.
Although the principle of avoiding the same continent in the draw rules still exists, for UEFA, which has many teams, this time the same group can only have a maximum of two The draw will be based on the principle of a European team. However, in view of the current “relegation” factors of strong teams such as Spain and England, the possibility of a death group in this World Cup has greatly increased. Once the first-tier Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and France encounter the two strong teams of England and Spain, then The pressure faced by the two teams to qualify is undoubtedly much greater.
Perhaps it is the existence of this “risk” that keeps ticket sales for this World Cup booming. According to the British BBC, 2.5 million tickets are expected to be sold for this World Cup. The first phase of ticket sales before the draw ceremony was quite good. So far, 742,760 tickets have been successfully sold. Data shows that 53% of the ticket buyers From Russia itself. With the group draw results coming out this Friday, ticket sales in the second phase will also be optimistic.
