Pretty hard to predict before the draw.

Whilst I don't think you're far wrong, they might meet in the QF's.

It doesn't solely go on rankings though does it. PLus you have the fact that Europe aside, you don't have more than 1 team per confederation in each group and Europe can only have 2. Well, that's how I believe it's been previously anyway.

Realistically there are only four teams than can win it and another four that have a chance of making the final.

I don't think three European teams can be in the same group.

No more than 2 teams from UEFA in the same group
No more than 1 team in the same group from all confederations.

That changes the probability I gave up above from 0.002 to 0

Good luck to FIFA working out the draw them. Rigged finals if that's the case.

Have to agree 32 is more than enough.

Expansion to 48 will water down the qualification process and whats the point of quaifying when you get only two group games.

48 teams is a joke.

Lets hope the events overnight in Bilbao are not an example of what will happen in Russia at the 2018 WC.
