How is a team that has failed to qualify for the last two tournaments in the world's top 20?

Let's not start whining like the English always do  It's based on a mathematical equation, not a subjective judgement. That calculation has led to us being where we are and Netherlands where they are. It's based on the results recorded, quality of opposition, and importance of match. It's obviously an imperfect system, but it's better than any alternative I can think of. |

As an honourary Belgian, of four years standing, I refuse to be below the dutch in any shape or form ;-) |

It was nice seeing us in top 10 while it lasted but to be in top 20 is good going considering not qualifying and where we where years ago. Like I said it's goid seeing high as we can but the real result v ROI is more of a test of where we are

Looks like the calculating system is about to change and all teams in the WC are going to shoot up the rankings ;-( t.co/yuMu4t743v |

Being in the top 10 was amazing. Being above England in the rankings was my proudest moment supporting Wales, it was the only realistic way we were going to get one over on them... until we did the unthinkable and qualified, finished above them in the group and outlasted them in the tournament.
Having done that now I don’t really pay attention to them anymore. I only care if we’re getting the highest we’ve ever been, above England or we’re so far down in the rankings I’m using climbing 2 places as false hope that Freddy Eastwood will be our knight in shining armour.
If I got offered the chance to see the Wales climb 5 spaces in the National League Coefficient at the cost of dropping 5 places in the National Team rankings I’d actually take it.

Wales down one place in the rankings to 19th.
Our next opponents ROI are up to 29th whilst Denmark remarkably rise to joint 9th with Spain.

19th is a decent position considering we've played no competitive games in 10 months. Only 2 teams above us who weren't at the world cup.

The immediate teams above us are in easy reach too, so a good showing in the Nations League would see us rise towards the top 10. Positive results against the Danes would certainly help on that score as we would probably overhaul them.

I meant to ask if anyone knows the criteria for the Euro 2020 Qualifying Draw? Are the seedlings based on results after the Nations League are included, or have they already been determined as per the draw for that competition when we were in Pot 2?

Are the seedlings based on results after the Nations League are included, or have they already been determined as per the draw for that competition when we were in Pot 2? Seeding won't be based on rankings, it will be based on Nations League results. Seeding of teams into the six drawing pots will be based on results of Nations League 2018/2019 group stage (which will run before start of classic qualification - from September to November 2018). For example Pot 1 will include best 10 teams in overall ranking from League A, Pot 2 will include worst 2 teams from League A and best 8 teams from League B and so on. Overall ranking is based on position in group, then earned points, goal difference, scored goal, scored away goals, number of wins, number of away wins, disciplinary points, coefficient. In other words, the group winners will always be best-ranked (among teams from same League). Position of these four winners will then be based on points, goal difference etc. The group runners-up will be ranked on 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th position. Then follow next postitions and then next Leagues.Read more: www.footballseeding.com/international-tournaments/euro-2020/ |
