I wonder how they landed on Honduras for CONCACAF? The second round hasn't been completed, and higher ranked nations are also in the same position as Honduras (Jamaica)
My version of this is:
Hosts



AFC








CAF









CONCACAF



CONMEBOL






OFC

UEFA
















IC Playoffs


For those who keep saying "BUT SAUDI" to me (when I was using the December FIFA Rankings) - the method I've done for this is:
All current standings are taken as final. Any further rounds are then decided by the LIVE FIFA Rankings available at https://football-ranking.com/fifa-world-rankings. I was previously using the December FIFA Rankings, but have decided on using the one referenced above as it takes the most recent matches into account.
UEFA I have just used the seeded teams, as the majority of these have not played any games in the first round due to the Nations League playoffs, and thus the standings are incorrectly skewed.
32 team world cup using the old methods would have been, by the looks of it (and using similar method to above):LOL, everyone gets a participation award.
the shine of the WC for me has changed cause of this expanded 48 format.
should of kept it at 32.
