  1. I see the problems with this ranking system in effect here, countries shedding big points even with victories. And wow, are Norway laughing if all this comes off.

    Weird that I have to enter an URL. I just put this site.

  2. Edgar, it seemed Montenegro were on course for pot 1 until they seemingly dug their own grave by setting up friendlies with Japan and South Korea. Well, for obvious reasons, the Japan friendly just got cancelled. What impact does this have on Montenegro?

  3. They still play Uzbekistan. I'll run some simulations next week - time allowing and everything.

    Thanks Edgar. Uzbekistan should make little difference then. Japan have now cancelled the New Zealand friendly too. Will this result in Japan getting boosted up the rankings now?
