1 July 2011: See the Namibia update.

Only two matches left involving African teams: Colombia - Senegal and Iran - Madagascar. However, both teams are locked in their respective pots. African teams have to habit of playing often outside the official match dates, so if that happens, I will update the pots.

This is the final July 2011 ranking (based on the current list of fixtures) - only for CAF teams participating in the World Cup qualifiers (that's why you won't see Mauritania).
