It's not April 1st is it??

The North went up 3 places? Here is the full rankings

Save some of my browsing time, which page are they on?

[Metrostars]

Must be that some old good results dropped off. e.g. US beat Jamaica last week but the US went down and Jamaica went up...

[swinfordfc]

So we are 31st placed .... will we changed at all at the end of july?

[swinfordfc]

Would beating Croatia do our rankings any good as they placed 9th ... even though its only a friendly?

Beating a team ranked about you always boosts your points total, but I think it's only worth half (or less) of a competitive fixture.

Maximum points we can get is 31 points to 783(a draw is worth two points to 754, a loss is -13).
That would land us somewhere between 28-30.

You are confusing us.

We already have enough other measures of relative status. So what?

[paul_oshea]

GR will that go towards who is seeded in playoffs or just best runner-up? looking at that 6 groups as winners, we are tied for the place behind best runner up is that right?

GR will that go towards who is seeded in playoffs or just best runner-up?

Just the latter (and see also table below). The play-offs will be seeded according not to FIFA rankings in October, but a separate system calculating average points per match in all qualifiers and finals games since the beginning of Euro 2008 (ie games from July 2006 onwards). The earliest of those three tournaments is weighted at 50% of the other two.

looking at that 6 groups as winners, we are tied for the place behind best runner up is that right?

Here's a summary:

Grp Team Pld W D L GF GA GD AG Pts

E Sweden 5 4 0 1 14 6 +8 5 12
G Montenegro 5 3 2 0 4 1 +3 11
F Croatia 5 3 1 1 7 3 +4 5 10
B Russia 5 3 1 1 7 4 +3 4 10
H Norway 5 3 1 1 6 4 +2 4 10
I Czechia 5 3 0 2 6 3 +3 3 9
A Belgium 6 2 2 2 11 9 +2 6 8
D Belarus 5 2 2 1 4 2 +2 1 8
C Slovenia 5 1 2 2 2 3 –1 2 5

If you finish second with say 22 points, that would mean 16 in that table. Might be enough to do it, though Sweden probably remain favorites.

Yes, the play-offs will be seeded using the UEFA national team coefficient.
