128 of the lowest ranked teams in fifa as of 2018

first, a group stage wherein there are 16 groups with 8 teams apiece playing twice to cut it down to 64

then those 64 teams cut into 16 groups of 4 playing eachother twice to cut it down to 32

Then another group stage taking those 32 teams in 8 groups of 4 playing eachother twice to get down to 16

then three rounds of two legged ties until 2 teams remain, then a one game final.

I think this is a little ambitious with 128 teams. I can choose all the way from 74(south africa) to 206, which has several teams ranked jointly for last: tonga, somalia, eritrea, anguilla, turks and caicos islands.

perhaps i should have made it just 32 of the worst minnows. idk. i need to physically add 128 teams one by one then we'll see how this goes.
