FIFA Ranking: December 2010 probable ranking (II)

November 26th, 2010.

Check the updated probable ranking.
______________________

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

Doesn't include knock-out stages for Caribbean Championship, Gulf Cup, AFF Cup and CECAFA Cup for various reasons: B teams, unknown format and most of all - lack of time today. However, it's OK for teams not involved in these tournaments.

For the teams not involved in these tournaments (172 in total), the total points for the December ranking are already final.

Next update: November 26th, 2010.

Since these tournaments could affect the rankings below the top 50, I'll only list some of the usual stats:

Montenegro, Belarus and Botswana will improve their best ever ranking.

Egypt and Hungary will return to their best ever ranking.

Romania and Poland will have their worst ever ranking.

Best movers in the top 50:

7 - Bosnia-Herzegovina
6 - USA
5 - Israel

Worst movers in the top 50:

-9 - Lithuania
-6 - Australia
-4 - Republic of Ireland and Bulgaria
