Analyzing World Cup Eliminations

It seems the user is interested in a quick analysis of the teams that knocked Italy out of World Cup qualifying. Those teams are Sweden in 2017 and North Macedonia for the 2022 playoffs. They both seem like rivals, but were they in the same playoff path for Euro 2024? Sweden didn’t qualify for those playoffs, while North Macedonia was in a tough group with Italy but didn't make it to the playoffs. The UEFA qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup haven't started yet.Exploring UEFA Seeding and Playoffs

I'm analyzing Nations League 2024-25 rankings and how they factor into the World Cup 2026 UEFA playoffs. It seems there will be 12 runners-up and top teams from the Nations League, possibly leading to 16 teams in the playoffs. Sweden and North Macedonia rank in the fourth pot for the Nations League. However, Sweden is in League B, which might relate to seeding for the Nations League or Euro 2024 playoffs. It's a bit complicated with the different pots and pathways!Considering World Cup Playoff Scenarios

This could relate to the 2025 UEFA qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, where there may be 16 teams in a playoff with seeding in four pots based on Nations League rankings. Sweden and North Macedonia, who previously eliminated Italy, would likely be in Pot 4. If Italy qualifies and is seeded in Pot 1, there's a chance they could face one of these rivals. I'll need to clarify which specific event the user is inquiring about, providing context about these "archrivals."Clarifying Playoff Context

I think it's best not to rely on live data for current pot statuses. Instead, I can phrase my response to the user more clearly. First, I'll ask which "playoff" draw they're referring to—whether it's for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers or the Euro Championship/League. I can mention that Sweden and North Macedonia historically eliminated Italy in two separate tournaments. If they are indeed in Pot 4, they could be potential rivals. I'll offer to provide a list of possible opponents based on updated standings if needed.

你是指哪一次的“附加赛”抽签？（2026 世预赛欧区，还是欧预/国联衍生的附加赛？）

历史上在世预赛把意大利淘汰出局的只有两队：

• 瑞典：2017 年两回合淘汰意大利，意大利无缘 2018 世界杯
• 北马其顿：2022 年附加赛半决赛绝杀意大利，意大利无缘卡塔尔

如果本次抽签确实采用“四档”分档，而且这两队处在第四档，那意大利潜在“宿敌”基本就是瑞典与北马其顿。要不要我查当前这次附加赛的实际分档与完整潜在对手名单，给出能相遇的路径与概率？
