FIFA Ranking: December 2010 probable ranking (III)

Probable results computed using the Elo Ratings. See the list of results used for this ranking.

Included knock-out stages for the Gulf Cup, Caribbean Championship and CECAFA Cup.

Next update: December 10th, 2010.

Only 32 teams will play matches before the deadline. For the other 175 the total points for December won't change. Further more, the top 42 is already set, since only Cuba's total could rise to 627 points, not enough to overtake Hungary (42nd, with 632 points).

100% sure:

Montenegro (25th), Belarus (38th) and Botswana (57th or higher) will improve their best ever ranking.
Egypt (9th) and Hungary (42nd) will return to their best ever ranking.
Romania (56th or lower) will have their worst ever ranking.
