  2. I already include the 2014 points (well, as zero).

    I compared my Spain points with yours for 2008 and 2010 - they are the same.

    You use (I think) (WC10 + 2*EC12)/3. I use (WC10 + 2*EC12 + 2*0) / 5.

  3. So group E in WCQ has none of the 16 best teams in European competitions over the past 4 years.

    God I hate the FIFA ranking.

    1. Good point Haakon :)

      That was true even at the time of the EURO 2012 final draw.

    2. Switzerland is a force, they have a golden generation coming. I'm very glad they got a qualifying group where they are the favourites, they've deserved it after unlucky euro qualifiers.

    1. How can you remember such groups and numbers? Surely you just made them up.

    2. Oh, on a sidenote, this is the system I've wished for a long time they would use for the U21 European Championship. Expand the tournament to 16 teams and have 10 groups, like they do now, 10 winners, 5 playoff winners, 1 host.
