  3. only Belgium & Argentina are fighting for the top spot. Belgium needs a win vs. Spain or an Argentinian draw/loss.
    Chile can jump over Argentina if Chile wins and Argentina loses, but can't reach Belgium.

    1. Belgium will stay first no matter what happens tonight, since the cancellation of Belgium-Spain gives them more points in next months' ranking. Even if Argentina wins, they can't get the first spot. So Belgium stays first till march 2016?

  4. Now FIFA includes the 2015 CECEFA Cup in the fixture list. I hope Somalia and Djibouti can escape 0 points!
