Cor it'll be hard to follow that summer of international football, the greatest Euros ever! Portugal beat France to win the Euros  congratulations PortugalHal Robson Kanu did this  and Wales became the 3rd best team in Europe, well done guys i knew you had it in you!!and Iceland beat England in the second round of the Euros and England appointed Sam Allerdyce as manager  Chile won the Copa America, beating Argentina on penalties in the final.  congratulations ChileMessi missed his penalty, retired from international football, then changed his mind a little bit later. ======================= Qualification for Russia 2018 ======================= UEFA begin the qualifying campaign for Russia 2018 this season, the rest of the world stretch it out over 4 years or something wtf so everywhere else is already halfway through theirs. Here's a handy continent by continent guide to qualification for Russia 2018 Asia (4 and a half places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_Third_Round Two Groups. Top 2 from each go through automatically, 3rd in both groups play off against each other to go to the inter-continental play off against the 4th team from North America. Group A: Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, China, Qatar, Syria Group B: Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Thailand Africa (5 places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CAF_Third_Round Straightforward this. Five Groups, and the winner in each goes through to the World Cup. Group A: Tunisia, Libya, Dr. Congo, Guinea Group B: Zambia, Cameroon, Algeria, Nigeria Group C: Gabon, Mali, Ivory Coast, Morocco Group D: Senegal, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde Group E: Ghana, Egypt, Congo, Uganda North America (3 and a half places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CONCACAF_Fourth_Round https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CONCACAF_Fifth_Round At the moment they're in round 4. There's 3 groups of four, and top two go through to the final round of qualifying. Group A: Mexico, Honduras, Canada, El Salvador Group B: Costa Rica, Panama, Jamaica, Haiti Group C: Trinidad, Tobago, United States, Guatemala, Saint Vincent, The Grenadines (6 teams in this group for some reason) South America (4 and a half places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(CONMEBOL) Bit of a scam the South Americans have going here, 4 and a half places out of 10 get through to the World Cup. It's easier to qualify for this than it is to get to a 24 team Euros!! Group A: everyone They've already started the group and Brazil are outside the qualification places hope they dont go through haha Oceania (half a place) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_OFC_Third_Round They're in round 3, two groups of three, winners play-off to get to the inter-continental play-off with the 5th best team in south American qualifying. Group A: New Zealand, New Caledonia, Fiji Group B: Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti U E F A (the best one) (13 places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA) Nine groups of 6. Winners go through automatically. 8 best runners-up go to playoffs. I've bolded the 4 best teams in Europe. Group A: Netherlands, France, Sweden, Bulgaria, Belarus, Luxembourg Group B: Portugal, Switzerland, Hungary, Faroe Islands, Latvia, Andorra Group C: Germany, Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, Norway, Azerbaijan, San Marino Group D: Wales, Austria, Serbia, Ireland, Moldova, Georgia Group E: Romania, Denmark, Poland, Montenegro, Armenia, Kazakhstan Group F: England, Slovakia, Scotland, Slovenia, Lithuania, Malta Group G: Spain, Italy, Albania, Israel, Macedonia, Liechtenstein Group H: Belgium, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Greece, Estonia, Cyprus, Gibraltar Group I: Croatia, Iceland, Ukraine, Turkey, Finland, Kosovo ============================== International football breaks 2016-17 ============================== 29 August - 6 September 3 - 11 October 7 - 15 November 20 - 28 March 5 - 13 June African Cup of Nations (Gabon) 14th January - 5th February Confederations Cup (Russia) 17th June - 2nd July CONCACAF Gold Cup (hosts TBC) 9th - 30th July Here's the all-important fifa rankings  I love international footy!!!

Obviously their team isn't one of the best 4 teams in Europe, unlike Portugal and Wales I think their teams arent even one of the best EIGHT teams in Europe!! (Poland, Portugal, Belgium, Wales, France, Italy, Iceland and Germany) let alone best 4!

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has proposed expanding the World Cup finals to 48 teams - after initially suggesting he wanted to boost it to 40. According to the 46-year-old Italian, 16 countries would be eliminated after a preliminary knockout round. The rest of the tournament would then be the same as it is now, with 32 teams competing in the group stages, followed by further knockout rounds. Infantino said a decision on possible expansion would be taken in January. "These are ideas to find the best solution," he said. "We will debate them this month and we will decide everything by 2017." Infantino took charge of world football's governing body in February. One of his election promises was to expand the World Cup to 40 teams. But his idea now is that 32 teams take part in a preliminary knockout round in the host country, with the winners joining 16 seeded teams in the group stages. "It means we continue with a normal World Cup for 32 teams, but 48 teams go to the party," said Infantino, who replaced Sepp Blatter. "Fifa's idea is to develop football in the whole world. The World Cup is the biggest event there is. It's more than a competition, it's a social event."
