Next update: 10 June 2011

Quick update to include Qatar - Russia 1 - 1. FIFA decided to keep the match...

The preliminary draw will take place on July 31st, 2011. UEFA will have 13 spots and will use the system with 9 groups.

Assumption:

- FIFA will use the July 2011 FIFA ranking to seed the teams

The July 2011 FIFA ranking will include matches played between July 2007 and July 2011. Only 4 months left - don't expect drastic changes.

UEFA will only use the national team coefficient for the European Championships draws (qualifying and final tournament).

This is the July 2011 ranking (for UEFA only) using matches played up to and including March 29th, 2011 and matches scheduled up to July 2011 (only those on fifa.com).

The "1.0" part is computed this way: points gained / (number of matches played + scheduled).

Netherlands are now on top, but Spain will keep their place anyway since they are holders.

Israel, Belgium and Albania replace Belarus, Lithuania and Scotland in the third pot.
Georgia replace Austria in the fifth pot.
Iceland replace Wales in the sixth pot.

Best movers:

10 - Georgia
9 - Albania
8 - Israel

Worst movers:

-7 - Scotland
-6 - Lithuania and Austria
-5 - Hungary and Belarus

Most points gained:

246 - Netherlands
211 - Israel
199 - Spain

Most points lost:

-22 - Latvia
-20 - Ukraine
-17 - Scotland
