Is that Wales guaranteed Pot 1 now?

Astonishing rise for a Pot 6 team last time around, I doubt that's a record that will ever be beaten in back to back World Cups...

Wales should never have been in Pot 6 in the first place though - they were playing much worse than their team was capable at the time.

I think they are in Pot 1 now.

It's all the more surprising when you consider they haven't really beaten anyone of any note.

Since they beat us a second time, they've beaten:

Macedonia

Iceland

Andorra

Cyprus

Israel

and now Belgium. Hardly groundbreaking though is it?

Goes to show what not losing and being competitive gets you.

Yes 100% pot 1. They could be top 10 in the world rankings too.

They have scheduled their games (or lack of) very wisely. Fair play.

Faroes will be up to Pot 4 now with their second win vs Greece. What a dream Pot 4 team that would be to draw

We could get something like:

Pot 4: Faroes

Pot 5: Liechtenstein (if they beat Moldova)

Pot 6: San Marino

That would be 18 points easy - surely...

Wait - we won't get anything like that in a Qualifying draw...

what difference does it make if other Pot 1, Pot 2 teams take 18 points off them - would prefer a stonger team, who we are more confident of taking points off, but who will take points off other teams - although there are certain circumanstances with best placed 2/3rd placed team.
