    1. The attentative reader will have seen that the numbers for the second place in UEFA are not as described:
      - 2nd place in group and seeded in play-offs
      - 2nd place in group and unseeded in play-offs
      - 2nd place in group and worst number 2
      but are determined according to
      - 2nd place in group and 1st-4th in ranking of numbers 2
      - 2nd place in group and 5th-8th in ranking of numbers 2
      - 2nd place in group and worst number 2

      Next time they really will be divided into seeded and unseeded, assuming the seeding of the 8 groupnumbers 2 will follow the FIFA-ranking of October 2017 instead of the points-ranking of groupnumbers 2.

  4. You're welcome. Apparently Edgar didn't find the time and I was becoming (very) curious myself, so I thought I'd give it a go.
    Sorry for the lousy formatting.

    I'm planning to update this overview after every matchday.

  5. Why do you think Russia will fall below the FIFA Rankings?
