  1. No matter what is done, you can't dislodge England from 6th, not in the real ranking, not in ELO, not here. 6th belongs to England! But geez, this really serves even more to just underline the top 5's total supremecy over everybody else including England.

    Bye, france, ha ha! And what a drop for Croatia! UEFA teams being pushed down, Croatia would still be a top seed in this ranking. Slovakia a top seed!

    Egypt even further down, I'm surprised by that.

  2. I was wondering how the above rankings were calculated and where these rankings without friendly games can be found for different months/years?

    Thanks!
