Matches I would have liked to see before the next ranking:
Ecuador - Armenia
Ukraine - Slovakia
China PR - Algeria
Poland - Montenegro
Iran - Bosnia-Herzgovina
Bulgaria - Estonia
Sweden - Slovenia
Korea Republic - Hungary
Ghana - Belgium
Peru - Burkina Faso
Why Korea-Hungary?
ReplyDeleteBecause Armenia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovakia and Slovenia were already taken.
ReplyDeleteIt's based on FIFA match points and Elo rating probability of a win.
