I noticed that FIFA opens to all national football federations who desire take part in the qualifications the entries three years before the year of celebrations.

With this criteria FIFA will be start to open the entries for 2014 World Cup during the first six months of the year 2011. --Jaboolanee (talk) 03:20, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Why the map isn't up to date? It should be updating after every country is eliminated. / TigerTatoo
The colors on the map should match the colors on the tables. The color for "Team Qualified" could be changed to a bright green. As is, the blue of "Team qualified" and the purple of "Team did not enter World Cup" are difficult to distinguish, especially at small scales (see Bhutan). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.240.122 (talk) 18:22, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
The goalscorers list has been eliminated. Personally I don't miss it but I'm not sure just eliminating it wihtout discussion is useful (and referring merely replacing something that has been a consistent feature of the page is hardly "vandalism").
Anyway, the options are: a) nothing at all, b) a restricted list (top-5, top-10) or c) a full list.
Personally I don't really mind but would choose option b (say top 10 only) if pushed. Jlsa (talk) 00:59, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
I know The does likes the table, and Drugo Harrys changed it to a list, what does everyone else think? I personally liked the wikitable table-responsive better. Bar Code Symmetry (Talk) 01:50, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
What exactly is the point of this? It seems like very shallow information that is unnecessarily put there. At least if it would contain the next matchday, as I had done (and it was removed), then I would see the point at even looking at this chart. And even more useless is the Legend for Confederation Standings. That's not gonna change for a long time.Nitroxium (talk) 18:26, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Since South Sudan has been a member since May 25, 2012 should we change its color on the map? It is a FIFA member now, but it didn't join. Or should we leave it as is since it was not a member at the time that qualification began? Nitroxium (talk) 04:48, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
In the section that discusses the OFC qualification, the flag shown next to New Caledonia is the French flag. Later, however, in the goals scored section, the flag that is next to the names of New Caledonian players is a separate, New Caledonian flag.
I do not have a preference as to which flag we use, but I do think we should be consistent and use the same flag for New Caledonia wherever we need it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.130.212.122 (talk) 01:41, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
I've noticed that in every section of qualifying Dr Vicodine has been insistently against the parts that say "On the next matchday" followed by predictions on how different teams can get eliminated or qualify... Is there any specific reason as to why? I personally like the predictions and find them to be useful information. Is there some kind of rule against this? Nitroxium (talk) 04:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Should a color table be put to explain why some teams are highlighted in the standings? I'm asking because I've seen something like this in the UEFA Qualifiers article, but it only explains that teams in green have secured qualification (which none have yet), but some of the group's last-placed teams are highlighted in pastel yellow, while Scotland's in pink. As far as I could grasp, the pink can only mean that Scotland can no longer qualify, despite still having matches to play. I don't get what the yellow (Macedonia, Kazakhstan, Andorra and San Marino) means, though (especially considering that Faroe is worse on the standings than Kazakhstan).
Also, in the AFC standings, Japan's highlighted in blue. I'm not sure whether that means "virtually qualified" or something of the sort, as they only need a victory to qualify as of this entry.
Shouldn't there be a table to explain these color tags in this article and the subsequent articles of each qualifying zone? 201.59.48.224 (talk) 20:53, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
...because of repeated vandalism. See page history for today for example.188.67.255.230 (talk) 13:36, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
The Previous Best column may not be necessary, as past and historical performance has no bearing on current performance. For example, France's 2002 performance, while as the previous champion, France was out in the first round. Data pertaining to "previous best" can be viewed with each individual team page. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 21:29, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Additionally if the previous best column is to be continued it is very questionable to claim Bosnia-Herzegovina's previous best was 3rd at the 1930 world cup. There are 6 "successor teams" to Yugoslavia and unless Fifa has ruled specifically on the matter it is unreasonable "successor team" or not for all of them to claim Yugoslavia's past records as their own. Furthermore even if Yugoslavia's records are counted as Bosnia-Herzegovina's Fifa has established retroactively that Yugoslavia officially got 4th place in the 1930 world cup not 3rd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.129.86 (talk) 00:36, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Could somebody who knows what they are doing fix the UEFA results chart on this page? It's a mess, graphically, and Group C does not diplay as a chart. Thanks. 169.252.4.21 (talk) 08:14, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
ChrisJBenson (talk) 01:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC) replied to the comment about Bosnia and Herzegovina ...
Please note the country's name. In English, it is Bosnia and Herzegovina with no hyphen. There have been two successor teams to Yugoslavia, not six. FIFA always designates only one successor team (at most) at a time. This role was first assigned to Serbia and Montenegro. Despite ceasing to exist as a nation on 5 June 2006, they made their only World Cup appearance one week later, losing all three group games in the First Round. FIFA designated Serbia as the successor of this continuing legacy. Here is the sequence of "Yugoslavian" teams, with the actual country names in parentheses. I only considered their status in "World Cup years". Currently a World Cup year lasts three calendar years (15 June 2011 to 13 July 2014). This team did not qualify for the final stages in 1934, 1938, 1966, 1970, 1978, 1986, 1994 or 2014.
Amongst World Cup qualifiers, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia are considered separate unrelated entities by FIFA. Of current teams, only Serbia can claim that 4th (not 3rd) place finish in 1930.
In similar fashion, Russia is the sole successor of the USSR, the Czech Republic is the sole successor of Czechoslovakia, and for the World Cups between 1954 and 1990, West Germany was the sole successor of Germany. Amongst World Cup qualifiers, FIFA considers the Ukraine, Slovakia and East Germany to be separate entities unrelated to any other historical team. All other cases (among World Cup qualifying teams) are either merely national team name changes (e.g. Zaire to DR Congo), or the introduction of new teams following separatist independence (e.g. Algeria). The Republic of Ireland manages to be in both of those latter categories (formerly the Irish Free State).
I don't know if there'll be a quiz later, but if there is, I 'm ready! ChrisJBenson (talk) 01:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Mr Hall of England (talk) 14:53, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
In the Summary of qualification table I assumed that the 'Qualifying end date' column should only include the last date in which a team from each respected confederation competes on. That is, 19 November 2013 for CAF, UEFA and 20 November 2013 for AFC, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC; it is not until these dates that the World Cup qualification ends for the respected confederations. User:Qed237 seems to think different. Can someone please clarify. I also suggest that we change the 'Next matchday' column to 'Qualifying start date' and include that information instead.--2nyte (talk) 16:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Are you guys sure that Oribe is the top goal scorer of all of qualification? If memory serves me right, he scored 10 goals, not 12.
Just letting you all know before an edit is made... 216.74.240.202 (talk) 14:20, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Fifa.com states that 820 matches were played, not 816 as the article says (http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/statistics/index.html). Who is right? --IgorMagic (talk) 05:43, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
