  1. Do you think France stand a chance to keep the seeded status for the WC draw in July 2015 (assuming we'll have 9 groups again)? Could winning all the friendlies be enough or are they inevitably set to drop below the European Top 9?

    1. nogomet,

      Edgar has made some simulations about that already, see:
      http://www.football-rankings.info/2014/09/2018-fifa-world-cup-seeding-uefa-10000.html.

      France has only 9% chance of staying in pot 1 and an overwhelming 86% probability of ending up in pot 2.

    2. Thanks, Ed. I missed that somehow.

  2. Why is the prelim draw being made so early? Over a year before the UEFA fixtures usually begin. Previous draws are normall in December/January

    1. In order to give more match dates for AFC/CAF/CONCACAF.
