alpine_saint Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 ...if national Foreign Ministries were as capable of playing political games, the worlds problems would be solved. Now the 2014 finals draw is being stitched up. France as lowest-seed European Team (and play-offs qualifier, but apparently ranking suddenly doesnt matter again...) should be going into Pot2, but instead all nine non-seeded Euro Teams will go into a draw for Pot2.

Don't France deserve special treatment as the fact they are a big country out-ranks their seeding? That was the entire basis of your last rant or have you forgotten this?

That was the entire basis of your last rant or have you forgotten this? That works both ways. FIFA used rankings for the group seeds, then ignored them over the Pot2/4 issue.

And you ranted and raged both times even though they followed opposite courses of action. How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 7 December, 2013 Author Share Posted 7 December, 2013 I fundamentally disagreed over the group seeding, and am annoyed at the lack of conistency shown over the 9th Euro country issue in pursuit of a predefined political agenda. there is no big inconsistency that you think you are so clever in highlighting, but dont let that detract from your usual "pick a argument for the sake of it" approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
