FIFA Ranking: November 2008 preview (II)

Point totals for teams from the top 20 of the October 2007 ranking should be 100% correct. For the others, there's the issue of historical rankings published before July 2006.

Germany up to 2nd.
England return to the top 10.
Paraguay enter the top 20 and are 3rd in CONMEBOL, overtaking Uruguay.
Israel will improve (again!) their best ever ranking, climbing one place to 15th. With a win (instead of a draw) against Latvia they would have been tied for 8th place with Russia...
Ireland overtake Northern Ireland.
USA still in front of Mexico.
Switzerland climb 18 places after defeating Greece.
Australia top the AFC ranking.
Ghana continue to fall, now they're fourth in Africa.
Jamaica will be the highest climbers on the back of their two qualifying wins - 34 places.

There are still some matches to play: ASEAN Cup preliminaries, Caribbean Championships preliminaries, Merdeka Cup and a couple of friendlies.

Rank and points as of today, October 20th.

Next update: November 6th.

  2. La subiect: ne cufundăm iarăşi în anonimat... am ajuns să ne batem cu Ucraina şi Egipt pentru top 20.
