The New Format for Group Balance

FIFA changed the draw procedure for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which puts based on teams' rankings and not geography. The new format means that in 2022 you had to have a group of eight top-ranked countries from all confederations. This is because FIFA's current ranking system was completely flawed. You could like game them fakely or increase exactly what they were doing by playing against each other during the year leading up to it.
