2018 FWCQ draw: Europe's winners and losers
I was curious to see the impact of the draw on teams' qualification chances.
As usual with competition/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula.
So I ran 10000 simulations doing first the draw, then adding the fixtures and another 10000 simulations with the actual groups and fixtures.

EURO 2016 qualifying simulations (24 July 2015)
Finally found the time to for this.
As usual with competition/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula. Games up to and including 23 July 2015.
Best 3rd most like to come out of group:

FIFA Ranking: August 2015 preview
FIFA will publish the ranking on 6 August.
I will most likely post the final preview on 31 July, if I'm not on vacation. That's a big if.
13 matches left: the 8 final matches of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and a couple of friendlies (actually Indian Ocean Islands Games and East Asian Cup matches).

Serbia - Albania: Somebody didn't do their homework
The Romanian Liga 1 teams and the entities in charge of organizing the competition are regulars at CAS. In 2013 for instance, Rapid Bucuresti won a relegation play-off vs. Concordia Chiajna and played two matches in the 2013/2014 season. However, Chiajna's officials contested the FA's decision to organize the play-off at CAS - asking for emergency procedures (I'm not sure if this is the correct legal term, but, hey, I'm a programmer, not a lawyer). CAS ruled in Concordia Chiajna favour and they were reinstated in Liga 1, although the competition had already started.
