SanguinePar Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 6 hours ago, GG Riva said: It's been suggested on dotnet that FIFA will ensure that Russia and Ukraine cannot meet in the final tie, due to the considerable tensions between the two. This may have ramifications for Scotland, as it may increase the chances of drawing Italy or Portugal assuming all three get through their semi-finals. Wouldn't forcing Ukraine and Russia to be kept apart mean we were slightly more likely to play one of them than if the draw was totally clean? Thus actually reducing the likelihood of us getting Italy/Portugal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I assume they draw the semi-finals and finals together? If so, the only thing I can work out is that if whoever draws Ukraine from the seeded pot has more chance of playing Italy or Portugal as they cannot draw the winners of the tie involving Russia.
