NORTH, CENTRAL AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN ZONE (ROUND THREE)
Group A: USA, Jamaica, Winner of E, Winner of F
Group B: Mexico, Costa Rica, Winner of A, Winner of B
Group C: Honduras, Cuba, Winner of D, Winner of C

Remember, the top two teams in each group from Round 3 go through to a league, with the top three in that league qualifying and the fourth-placed team going into the Intercontinental Play-Off against the Oceania Zone. Got that? Nope? Neither do I.

---

OCEANIA ZONE (ROUND TWO)
Group A: Vanuatu, New Caledonia, American Samoa/Cook Islands/Samoa or Tonga, Tahiti
Group B: Fiji, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea

Oceania, as if you needed reminding (paha) have 0.5 places available for the World Cup, meaning the 11 countries play preliminary games to produce a final group of four. The winner qualifies for the intercontinental play-off against the North, Central American and Caribbean Zone.

---

SOUTH AMERICAN ZONE
League: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela

Brazil qualify automatically as hosts. All South American teams play a round-robin style league with the top 4 progressing and the 5th place going into the Intercontinental Play-Off against the runners up of the Asia zone.

---

EUROPEAN ZONE
Group A: Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Scotland, Macedonia, Wales
Group B: Italy, Denmark, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Armenia, Malta

Wow, Canada actually got a somewhat easier path this time. We might actually make it to the Hex if they don't screw up as always.

Easy draw for the US.

USA, Jamaica and with my guesses; Guatamala & Antigua and Barbuda.

CONCACAF is a piece of shit

There's a round 4 league type thing (the top 2 from all Round 3 groups progress) where the top 3 qualify and the 4th place goes to a play-off against the Asian zone play-off winner. That's a little more difficult.

Yes, pretty much round 4 is the only real qualification part of the CONCACAF shit process.

Is everyone from a Pot 1 country just hoping they avoid France?
Kinda.

I'd kinda like that we (Germany) get France, so the qualifiers are more interesting, though. But I would also laugh if Spain, Netherlands or England have to play against France and fail.

fuck i wish canada was in usa's group :(

panama and honduras will go through :(

and along with Jamaica? No thanks. We got Cuba which is the weaker team from that pot. Honduras are obviously the favorite, but they're the weaker of the top seeds. Out matches with Panama are the key here. If we get good results there, were in the final round for sure. We played a good game against Panama at the Gold Cup, so reaching the hex it's very doable.

Best draw Canada could have hoped for.

So are NZ gonna sneak in again through weird qualification systems = i.e. beating some bullshit island nations and then getting lucky against a SA team?

New Zealand was the only undefeated team in 2010.

What if you lot play Wales in Brittanica in a rainy and a windy environment, huh? HUH?

I would be happy. We won't get better by playing Liechtenstein and San Marino.
