FIFA Ranking: July 2013 probable ranking (III)

Next update: 28 June 2013.

FIFA will publish the ranking on 4 July.

I'm aware of the disciplinary procedures opened against 3 African teams. I expect Ethiopia and Togo to lose 3 - 0 their matches against Botswana and Cameroon. The Equatorial Guinea issue has to do with player nationality (most likely Ricardinho). I will update the ranking when the decisions will be final.

Probable results computed using the Elo Ratings.

The total points are already set for all teams, with the exception of the 12 teams involved in the remaining matches. For minimum and maximum points see the preview.

Before posting comments like: "Hey my team actually beat the other team! It's a mistake!" please read the previous paragraph again and look when these results were posted (Yes, before the matches actually took place!) ;)

  4. Edgar, is it possible to make a post with the October probable ranking, taking into account the probable results of the matches remaining? I know there are still some games not setled yet, like the CAF play-offs, but we could get a pretty close idea of which teams would be seeded in the WC final stage and for the UEFA play-offs...

    Thank You

  5. Could you perhaps tell me what Uruguay's point total would be if they were to win the penalty shoot-out against Italy?
