When interviewed by the BBC, FAW chief David Collins said he believed we'd be in pot 4 for next month's 2010 World Cup draw:

Wales wanted to finish the group strongly in order to clinch third place and receive a higher seeding when the draw for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers is made.

But Collins said the results of Wales' final three matches will have no bearing on their seeding for next month's draw, which will comprise eight groups consisting of six teams.

"The preliminary seedings I've seen from Uefa - of course it's not Uefa who will be making the decision but Fifa - is that we will be in pot four," he said.

We were in pot 5 for the last draw weren't we? Some groups will have 7 teams in them though as 8x6 is only 48, and there are about 53/4 countries under UEFA these days...

I know he may only be trying to take the heat off Toshack and the FAW, but that's terribly short sighted.
3 wins to finish the group would have given us a shot at pot 3 by the time the next draw comes around in a few years!
