Can someone explain how this is possible?

There are 14 European teams above us at the moment and only 9 top seeds.

We would need to rise above 6 teams.

after tonights result, when the next Fifa rankings are announced, we are potentially going to be ranked in the top 10 in the world

Italy and Croatia drew so we would be above both of them. Might be above England too.

There was an article in the daily mail that explained it but the above is all I can remember from it.

could even be above spain!

I remember that we were in Pot 2 one time and still ended up finishing 5th in the following group. Lol
