FIFA Ranking: May 2009 intermediate ranking

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.

Included: Matches up to and including April 8th, 2009.

Next update: end of April/beginning of May.

Only a handful of matches will be included in the May ranking: AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers and a couple of friendlies. As such, don't expect many changes.

I don't know if FIFA will include the Solomon Islands - Vanuatu friendly match (played on 7/7/2008). They did add it to the Fixtures and Results section, but not in the April ranking.
