Though unexpected but now official. As indicated, Fifa and Caf unveiled yesterday Thursday a special classification for Africa. It is this hierarchy, which refreshes Fifa ranking thus taking into account the results of the 5th day of the contested Can 2017 qualifying last weekend, which will serve as basis for the draw for the fate of groups of qualifying for the world 2018 June 24. From this ranking have indeed established 4 Groups to be used for the draw. Each playoff group will be composed of four selections from a different pot. The more the team belongs to a high pot, it was likely to fall in an awkward position, even though opponents in the light of the pedigree 20 selections still in the race, hens will be necessarily identified.
June 24, the day of truth, the Tunisia still made a nice shot grabbing 5th continental place of Egypt in the Fifa ranking. Thus, the Carthage Eagles join the pot 1 on the wire and would avoid its rival Algeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Senegal in their pool. Conversely, Guinea, beaten by Swaziland (0-1) last Sunday and eliminated the Can, 2017, regresses to Fifa, as Cameroon ranking that has emerged yet in Mauritania (0-1). These two selections fall into the pot 3 and allow contrary to Nigeria and Mali to integrate the 2 pot in extemis. The role of Hugo Broos will now have to wait on 24 June, date of the draw, to know his opponents from the pool to the final phase of qualifying matches. One might expect to have groups damn identified type Cameroon - Algeria-DRC-Gabon, or Senegal-Nigeria-Cameroon-Burkina Faso. It is not excluded that the Lions find themselves in the same pool as Ivory Coast, Ghana
