20 18 Russia World Cup qualifiers are a series of events organized by football associations of six continents under the jurisdiction of FIFA. Only the team of 365,438+0 and the host country Russia can qualify. According to the relevant agreement, the number of participants in Asia is 4.5, that is, 4 people are directly shortlisted, 1 play-off qualification.
At present, the second stage of the qualifiers, the top 40, is divided into eight groups. China was divided into Group C. After the group match, eight groups came first, and four groups with better results came second. *** 12 team advanced to the next stage of the competition, that is, 12.
12 Tournament draws lots according to the results and rankings, and divides them into two groups to play round robin again. The top two teams in the two groups and the ***4 teams will directly qualify for the World Cup. The third place in the two groups will compete for 0.5 places, which is the qualification for the play-offs. The winners of these two teams will compete with other teams that are also eligible for the play-offs. The final winner will rely on this complete quota to qualify for the 20 18 World Cup finals. The level of Asian football is limited, and the team that comes third in the play-offs is basically hopeless.
Therefore, the primary task of the national football team is to qualify for the group and ensure that the group is the first to qualify. Otherwise, if the group is second, even if it is barely qualified, it will be extremely unfavorable to group in the 12 competition. If the national football team can successfully break through the group, it will enter the top 12. To get to the top two in the semi-final group. Otherwise it's basically goodbye! Because the third runner-up went to play the play-offs, it is difficult for the current level of the national football team to compete with teams from other continents.
