World Footy Rankings - the inaugural list

Despite a couple of anomalies, I reckon WFN has done a terrific job with this, and it represents a good starting point.

After the next IC, and another European championship, we'd start to see some of these anomalies flatten out a bit.

I'm not sure if the Peace team will ever compete again, and if it doesn't, it might be best to just drop it off.

Is there a reason why Tonga doesn't make an appearance?

Regarding the Peace Team, we've started in the article above that:

"Other requirements are that if a country does not play for more than 4 years they lose their position but not their ranking points. If a country does not play for 8 years they will also lose their ranking points, starting from scratch when/if they resume competition, unless a special case is considered."

So IF they had played enough eligible games but did not play at IC2011 then they would drop off the list in August 2012 (4 year rule). But since they have played less than 8 matches and are provisional only we'll leave them that way until 2016 - perhaps another good reason though why I should list provisional teams in a separate column.
