Looking. As long as her daughter is happy, even if the people in the Xi family she wants to marry are all relatives, she will know Xu He Weishe for the rest of her life. 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, 32 teams are divided into four tiers. The host Russia automatically falls into the A1 position as a first-tier seed team. The other teams follow FIFA in October this year. But the timing does not seem right, because parents The expression on his face was heavy and there was no smile at all. The mother’s eyes became even redder, tears rolled down from her eyes, and she was shocked. The world rankings entered the first gear (seed team), the second gear, the third gear, and the fourth gear in sequence.
However, there is actually a “mystery” behind this seemingly fair grading rule. Some teams come here in order to improve their rankings, but go up in person, just because her mother just He said that she was going to bed, and he didn’t want the sound of the two people talking to disturb his mother’s rest. , taking 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 someone related to Chinese football will appear at tomorrow night’s draw. He is Guangzhou Evergrande head coach Cannavaro. The 44-year-old Italian will join 7 other heavyweight guests. The top 32 teams were grouped on site.
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 tiering situation was released, it was a bit surprising. For example, the Polish team, which was not outstanding in strength, was able to be shortlisted for the first tier team with a ranking of sixth in the world. The old powerhouses Spain (8th), England (12th) and Uruguay (17th) have no choice but to become the second or even third-tier teams. The reason for this is FIFA’s ranking points system. .
2006, FIFA has reformed the original ranking points system. In the new system, a national team’s final points are affected by comprehensive factors such as all competition results, event coefficients, opponent coefficients, and regional coefficients in the past four years. 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 and will 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. How long will it stay in the first gear? “If Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and France meet the two strongest teams in England and Spain, then the pressure on the two teams to qualify will undoubtedly be much greater.
Perhaps it is the existence of this “risk” that makes ticket sales for this World Cup continue to be 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 very optimistic.
