I was wondering how different the groups would look with the 48 teams World Cup, so I made my own draw based on current FIFA rankings and standings

>>149885722 (OP)
Gross. 32 teams was perfect

>>149885722 (OP)
>Italy
*sucks air through teeth*

There are some things that don't make sense
Only 15 Europeans, they have 16 slots
Peru is there, they can only qualify through playoffs, but Paraguay isn't who have a playoff spot at least secured
Ghana twice

>>149885722 (OP)
Brazil finishes 3rd behind Morocco and Norway.

>>149885722 (OP)
Arent the groups actually made by 3 teams?

>>149888262
No, that was the original idea but they scrapped it at some point
12 groups of 4 teams, best 2 qualify + 8 best 3rds. The champions will have to play 8 matches, one more than in the old format
which would make this >>149888207 possible, and Brazil could advance anyway

>>149885722 (OP)
4 brown nations in group B

>>149885722 (OP)
>Group K
