FIFA Women's Ranking: Great Britain = England?

Have you noticed the women's fixtures and results for England on FIFA.com?

Quite interesting.

Here's the current top 30 (as of 3 August - before the Olympic tournament quarter finals) - without the Great Britain matches.


Korea DPR drop out of the top 10, with Italy taking their place.

27	Nigeria	1676	0	-10
28	Belgium	1660	2	16
29	Colombia	1650	-1	-1
30	Thailand	1645	-1	0

Great Britain have played three matches so far - all wins: 1 - 0 vs. New Zealand, 3 - 0 vs. Cameroon, 1 - 0 vs. Brazil.

If these games would be included for England (as home matches, even if Cardiff is in Wales as far as I know) these would be the changes:

New Zealand and Cameroon would have 1 point less.
Brazil would have 21 points less.
England would have 21 extra points.
