FIFA Ranking: February 2010 preview

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 February 2nd, 2010.

The February ranking will actually be published on March 3rd, but since it's the second ranking of the year...

Six friendlies and two minor tournaments will take place this month: 2010 East Asian Football Championship and the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup. All matches will be considered friendlies for FIFA ranking purposes.

Next update: March 1st, 2010 - or sooner if needed.

Germany overtake Portugal for 5th.
England will climb one place to 8th at the expense of Argentina.
Greece will return to the top 10.
Egypt will lose 102 points due to devaluation of results and will fall to 17th (that also depends on the result of Mexico - Bolivia).
USA could lose their place at the top of CONCACAF if Mexico get the same result against Bolivia as the Americans against El Salvador.
