    These rankings is the real punishment for those who were successfull on the last World Cup ;) And it will be used for next WC qualification draw...

    May all top-4 be CONMEBOL if Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay reach semifinals?

    1. It's not a punishment if they used to gain MUCH more points ;).

    2. At least Concacaf draw has already been done, so Costa Rica didn't suffer much.
