I know how qualification works I am just saying thats how it would look if it would go by FIFA rankings

...........And Italy would win....again!!!!!!

[Valencianista5247]

no, it isn't necassary, the Fifa Rankings doesn't tell what teams would qualify...it could be a team in the 60th position in the ranking that wold qualify...you never know

[Val1197]

Of course. Because Italy is gonna be 1st again. Like it did in the World Cup. Brazil might get 2nd or 3rd but it won't get 1st.
Sorry Brazil fans!!!

[RatedRSuperstar]

Germany or Italy or Brazil or Argentina or France. too many favourites.

[Soccermaster70277]

If it was today then France would win

[MizBoons7512]

No because Scotland are not in the 32 teams listed.
I really hope they qualify.

[colombian_240402]

no dude it doesnt go by the rankings. it goes by continents. u have to qualify by continents. like 4 or 5. europe has the most though with like 15 or something. conmebol can have 4 and the 5th team plays australia and the winner if that goes to the world cup. and last year concacaf had 4. asia has a little bit. then africa.

[AndresHighInquisiter]

Something along those lines. Probably be about 5-10 teams there that don't get in and vice versa.

[G-Man]

Well yes and no. A lot can change in the rankings in 2 and a half years. I mean you can expect the top teams to qualify but just because your say 32 doesn't mean your in. It could be the team with a 45 ranking that gets in, they judge it on different standards. They have qualifying tornaments in all six continents and FIFA decided how many slots are available for each continent right after the last World Cup.
