20 18 rules for drawing lots for the world cup group in Russia
20 18 The draw ceremony for the World Cup in Russia was held at the Moscow landmark Kremlin at 23: 00 on February 1 Sunday, Beijing time. Thirty-two national teams were divided into eight groups to compete for the 2 1 World Cup. FIFA official website specially published articles and videos to explain the lottery rules for this competition.
Different from the previous practice of grading unseeded teams according to their continental football associations, the grading of this World Cup is completely based on the ranking of FIFA in June 20 17. The top seven teams and host Russia won the seed team seats (Russia automatically entered Group A in the opening match), and the other teams entered different levels in order of ranking.
The specific classification is as follows (the international ranking in brackets is 20 17, 10):
1. Seed teams: Russia (65, host), Germany (1), Brazil (2), Portugal (3), Argentina (4), Belgium (5), Poland (6), France (7);
2. The second file: Spain (8), Peru (10), Switzerland (1 1), England (12), Colombia (13), Mexico (/kloc-0
3. Third tranche: Denmark (19), Iceland (2 1), Costa Rica (22), Sweden (25), Tunisia (28), Egypt (30), Senegal (32) and Iran (34);
4. The fourth gear: Serbia (38), Nigeria (4 1), Australia (43), Japan (44), Morocco (48), vbhjk(49), South Korea (62) and Saudi Arabia (63).
The lottery will be held from the first file to the fourth file, and each team will enter each group in alphabetical order according to the lottery order. The first team automatically enters the first place in each group (which is related to the sequence of the schedule), and the second to fourth teams draw lots to enter their respective groups to decide the order.
Due to the principle of avoiding intercontinental association (except Europe, teams of the same association cannot appear in the same group; Because there are more than eight European teams, there must be at least one team in each group, so the second, third and fourth teams may skip the group when drawing lots.
Take FIFA's simulated lottery video as an example. In the second draw, Switzerland, the first winner, automatically entered Russia's Group A, Colombia, the second winner, had to skip the South American team Brazil's Group B and enter Poland's Group C according to the principle of avoiding the same group, while Croatia, the third winner, entered Brazil's Group B because there was no problem of avoiding the same group.
