The European Zone of the '''[[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification]]''' will see 53 teams competing for 13 places. The qualification process started on [[20 August]] [[2008]], after [[UEFA Euro 2008]]. The qualification process also marks the first official competition for [[Montenegro national football team|Montenegro]].


==Seeding==
Define Dumping
After initially proposing to use a similar system to recent World Cup and European Championship qualification (based on results across the previous two European qualification cycles), the UEFA Executive Committee decided on [[27 September]], [[2007]] at its meeting in Istanbul that [[seeding]] for the qualifiers would be based on [[FIFA World Rankings]], in accordance with the FIFA World Cup regulations (which note that where teams are ranked on "performance" criteria, the FIFA World Rankings must be used).<ref>[http://www.uefa.com/competitions/euro/news/kind=1/newsid=594082.html All clear for December EURO draw]</ref>


The FIFA World Ranking used for seeding was the most recent at the time of the preliminary draw, namely the November 2007 edition. Initially scheduled for [[21 November]], the release date was moved to [[23 November]] to include the final match days of [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying|Euro 2008 qualification]].<ref>[http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/releases/newsid=636252.html Next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking on Friday 23 November 2007]</ref>
Dumping is the situation whereby foreign producers sell at prices below their marginal production cost, either by making losses or with the assistance of government subsidies, in order to gain market share in a country.

==Format==
For:
Eight groups of six teams and one group of five will contest the European qualifying competition for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]]. The nine group-winners will qualify directly, while the highest ranked eight of the nine second-placed teams will contest home and away play-off matches for the remaining four places. In determining the rank of second-placed teams, the results against teams finishing last in the six-team groups will not be counted for consistency between the five- and six-team groups.<ref>[http://www.uefa.com/uefa/keytopics/kind=64/newsid=554858.html EXCO unveils World Cup programme]</ref>


==Tiebreakers==
Europe should impose tariffs in order to retaliate against dumping by China and Vietnam. With the influx of cheap shoes, domestic European shoemakers would lose more of their market share to China and Vietnam. Foreign firms could gain monopoly power, and raise prices to reap supernormal profits.

==Groups==
Another reason is that
The draw for the group stage took place in [[Durban]], [[South Africa]] on [[November 25]] [[2007]] (17:00 local time).<ref>[http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminarydraw/index.html Preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup]</ref> During the draw, teams were drawn from the 6 pots A-F (see above) into the 9 groups below, starting with pot F, which filled position 6 in the groups, then continued with pot E filling position 5, pot D in position 4 and so on.<ref>[http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/preldraw/2010%5ffwc%5fpreliminary%5fdraw%5finformation%5feurope%5fe%5f28419.pdf Preliminary Draw Information]</ref>

Revision as of 21:21, 11 October 2008

The European Zone of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification will see 53 teams competing for 13 places. The qualification process started on 20 August 2008, after UEFA Euro 2008. The qualification process also marks the first official competition for Montenegro.

Seeding

After initially proposing to use a similar system to recent World Cup and European Championship qualification (based on results across the previous two European qualification cycles), the UEFA Executive Committee decided on 27 September, 2007 at its meeting in Istanbul that seeding for the qualifiers would be based on FIFA World Rankings, in accordance with the FIFA World Cup regulations (which note that where teams are ranked on "performance" criteria, the FIFA World Rankings must be used).[1]

The FIFA World Ranking used for seeding was the most recent at the time of the preliminary draw, namely the November 2007 edition. Initially scheduled for 21 November, the release date was moved to 23 November to include the final match days of Euro 2008 qualification.[2]

Format

Eight groups of six teams and one group of five will contest the European qualifying competition for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The nine group-winners will qualify directly, while the highest ranked eight of the nine second-placed teams will contest home and away play-off matches for the remaining four places. In determining the rank of second-placed teams, the results against teams finishing last in the six-team groups will not be counted for consistency between the five- and six-team groups.[3]

Ranking of second-placed teams

The play-offs will be contested by the best placed runners up. With one group having one less side than the others, matches against the sixth-placed team in the group are not included in this ranking.

 Republic of Ireland 8 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 ab

Matches against the sixth-placed team in the group are not included in this ranking.

Key to notes

  • a - Team is not guaranteed second place in their group
  • b - Sixth-placed team in group may change (so ranking of second-placed team may improve or worsen even if they do not play)

Ranking rules

  1. Points obtained
  2. Goal difference
  3. Total goals scored
  4. Goals scored in away matches

All of these are based on matches against the teams finishing first to fifth in the group. In the event that the division of teams into a top-eight and bottom-one cannot be achieved using the above tiebreakers, a play-off will be held between affected teams.

Goalscorers

As of 11 October 2008.
