SUI🇨🇭possibly shot themselves in the foot by arranging a difficult friendly game away to BEL 🇧🇪 in November. Had they arranged a friendly with someone like Andorra instead, they'd have a higher chance of reaching Pot 1 in the #WC2022 qualifying draw. @SFV_ASF
DEN 🇩🇰 were really smart for arranging a friendly with the Faroes which will likely score them 2 easy FIFA points, while SUI are likely to drop points in Belgium. As a result @DBUfodbold has a 14 pctg points advantage over @SFV_ASF in reaching Pot 1, instead of only 2% advantage.
Being in Pot 1 is extremely important because you cannot play the big guns (🇫🇷 🇵🇹 🇪🇸 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇹 🇧🇪...) in #WC2022 qualifiers. Only the group winner advances to the WC in #Qatar, while runners-up have to play 2 rounds of playoffs. So you have to choose your friendly games wisely.
