It will be interesting to see where teams rank in a few weeks after Euro 2008 and the recent run of World Cup qualifiers have concluded. Will Russia, Poland, or Sweden move into the top 20 with strong showings at Euro 2008? Soccer City FC will post the ranking after the tournament's conclusion.

Another interesting team to pay attention to is El Tri. Mexico sits at 14th. Will Sven's guidance send them higher in the rankings or will his lack knowledge regarding the league and Mexican culture overwhelm him?
