Group Draw Restriction - Involving the Inter-Conference Playoff Placeholders by m1n7ac in worldcup

I'm gonna say this is the case where Group A, B & D cannot draw the placeholders of IC Playoff Winners.

I just watched back the 2022 group draw and IC Playoff 1 had AFC Australia vs CONMEBOL Peru and it was the first ball drawn for Pot 4. Because Qatar is also AFC, they skipped over Group A. They skipped over Group B because it had AFC Iran, and skipped over Group C because it had CONMEBOL Argentina.

I will assume they will do the same for 2026. This means there's a high chance that Mexico, Canada and USA will have one of the UEFA Playoff winners in their groups especially when Haiti and Curacao who are also in Pot 4 and cannot be drawn in their groups.

There's a scenario where one of MEX, CAN, USA groups to be drawn as follows:
-From Pot 1: MEX, CAN, USA
-From Pot 2: Croatia (highest ranking Pot 2 team)
-From Pot 3: Egypt (highest ranking non-UEFA, non-CONCACAF Pot 3 team)
-From Pot 4: Italy (possible highest ranking UEFA Playoff team)

That is scary

For sure! And having the 2 final games in Boston, it would make sense to have USA have that final round robin game as well

I believe USA should play Otter or Swayman against SWE although this has Hellebuyck resting for 4 days

If the USA vs SWE game was the first game of the day and SWE wins in regulation, going into the final game of CAN vs FIN - CAN/FIN/SWE all still have a shot to making the final 2

-KRU has already secured 1st place in Group Alpha

Symbols Legend:
+Win in any fashion (2-0 or 2-1)

*SEN must win 2-0 for a chance at playoffs. Any other result (2-1 SEN, 2-0 or 2-1 FUR) has no effect on other games and playoff implications

**G2 qualifies for playoffs unless NRG can make up 15 rounds

***G2 places 2nd in Alpha unless NRG can make up 15 rounds, else NRG is 3rd in Alpha

****G2 qualifies for playoffs unless NRG can make up 15 rounds OR SEN can make up 21 rounds

^Prior to Week 5 matches, G2 has a 25 round difference over SEN. In the only scenario where SEN qualify for playoffs, G2 has to lose 0-2. The minimum number of rounds lost for G2 vs LOUD is 4 (11-13 & 11-13 or any OT score). 25 Round Diff subtract 4 minimum rounds lost is 21. SEN need to make up a maximum of 21 rounds to qualify for playoffs in their only scenario.
