Rankings note

The rankings may or may not change significantly from month to month even without games being played. The reason is not really (as often described) "devaluation" of the results, it is more the "re-averaging" of results based on the changing number of matches played in each of the last four years (which can rise or fall without much rhyme nor reason). For example, Germany's results will be significantly affected by whether the 15 November 2006 result against Cyprus (a ranking limiting 1-1 draw) counts to the latest year or the year before. If it moves back a year, Germany's ranking will jump up, but if it doesn't then there will be little change. See a BigSoccer post (by me) for an even more drawn out explanation.

Another note: November rankings will be released on November 23, not 21 (see [1]). I corrected the article about FIFA World Rankings, but I'm not sure if results from Euro 2008 qualifying matches on November 17 will be included or not, so the information on this article might need a little revising.

Logical assumption is that the delay in one is related to the desire to include the Euro results in the rankings. I wonder if the reason the draw itself has been delayed is related. Jlsa 02:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You mean the draw in Durban has been delayed, as well? Artyom (talk • contribs) 14:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A while ago now the date was changed from 23 November to 25 November - at least that's what I remember Jlsa 20:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
