USMac`s post got me thinking.... are the WC groups organised so that the 3rd vs 4th drawn teams happen first, and those teams are thought to be the lowest FIFA ranked teams?
With 3 games still to happen, there have been 5 draws already in those games which gives me a bit more hope for getting a 3rd place finish....
Qatar Switz 1-1
Iran NZ 2-2
Saudi Arabia Uruguay 1-1
Iraq Norway 2-2
With the following still to come
Austria Jordan
Uzbekistan Colombia
Ghana Panama

Iraq Norway hasn’t played yet?
The Iran and New Zealand draw is a good result for us as you’d expect they won’t win either of their next two and odds of them drawing both remaining games are slim so will finish behind Scotland.
The other draws, promising but because they are against the bigger countries, still a good chance a few of them could finish with 4 points.

Ooops.....I`ll have to review my homework later!
I didn't have time to compare based on FIFA rankings but I will look to do that later. It is tricky based on the weird way they do the draws and put teams in different groups based on some other reasons.
