    Thanks!

  3. 11/Sep Czech Republic - Finland 1 (Friendly) 0-1 so that should be 2, right?

    1. Not quite....

      Denmark drops 8 places from 10 to 18 and from 1006 to 944 pts.

    2. It appears there is potential for 4 South American top seeds. That's going to throw a monkey wrench into the draw procedure if it happens. 4 Euro seeds, 9 Euro's left. Too big for a Euro pot. Three pots will have to contain European teams. I guess they'll see to it that extra team will end up with a SA team. But how do they choose which one?

      Delete
    3. Oh and if it happens, I could see FIFA stripping Europe of a place and giving it to South America.

    4. When this happens, they will make an extra pot for the remaining European team. They did the same thing with the draw for the 2006 World Cup finals, when Serbia & Montenegro were the odd one out.

      To choose, they simply put all the 9 remaining European groups in one pot, draw 8 of them, and the 9th team will be drawn into a group with only 1 European team, thus avoiding a group with possible 3 European teams. With 13 European teams, of which 4 seeded and 8 drawn into the 8 groups, there would be 4 groups remaining, all of them with a South-American top seed.

  5. Yes, you are right. Thank you, Ed.

  6. Do the matches on 29/Sep of Philippines - Chinese Taipei and Macau - Guam count for the October rankings or will be used in the November rankings?

    It's updated now.

    FIFA Ranking: October 2012 preview (II)

    @Anonymous September 12, 2012 10:40 AM

    Yes.

    @Anonymous September 14, 2012 2:13 AM

    It's not 100% certain. FIFA used to have a deadline on Thursday - 6 days before the release. The deadline info is now gone from FIFA.com.

    ReplyDelete
  8. If FIFA uses it's announced deadline date (27/9) for the October ranking then all matches played on or after 27/9 will count for the November ranking.

    However, there are lots of instances where FIFA uses another deadline to let matches, played in the same tournament, count for the same ranking. In that case the tournament should have some real importance though and I don't think that FIFA considers the Paulino Alcantara Cup that important.

    But who knows, let's just wait and see.....
