FIFA Ranking: October 2010 final preview

Some rounding errors found their way into the ranking, after I moved the database to a different computer. I fixed them and here's the correct version. Minor changes compared to the old (wrong) version posted on Friday.

Included: matches up to and including October 14th, the official match deadline. FIFA might include more matches, but not later than Sunday. I didn't include Italy - Serbia nor did I award a 3 - 0 win for the Italians.

EURO 2012: Change in knock-out stage

You might remember a certain Spain - Russia played twice at EURO 2008. It happened because teams in groups A and B were separated from groups C and B until the final in order to equalize the number of rest days.

This was UEFA's explanation at that time:

"The reason for the format change this year is to equalise the rest periods during the knockout stage. Complaints were made in previous competitions that some teams gained an unfair advantage of up to a day and a half’s more rest between games as the tournament progressed."

For 2012 however, UEFA have returned to the old format, no longer separating the teams as in 2008.

See the official fixture list on UEFA.com.

Taking a break

Don't expect (too many) updates before November 8th, because despite what others may think - I do have a life :)
My family will welcome a new member (it's a girl!) tomorrow morning and I'll spend the next month at home with my wife and kids.
If I can find the time - while the little critters sleep - I'll try to post some updates.

Enjoy life and may God bless you!
