on what basis is this done??? whats this ranking bout?? and whats the use of it?
lebanese league ahead of emirates league? come on now..
anyway , here is the uefa ranking for teams.
UEFA Team Ranking 2009
this ranking is used for the draw as well ( teams in pot 1, teams into pot 2)..
as well as the uefa ranking for nations..
UEFA Country Ranking 2009
England 79 points
spain 74 points
italy 62.910 points
germany 56.695 points
for nations its done for last 5 years. so next year 04/05 will be cancelled where italy had 3.5 point advantage on germany. its very possible germany overtakes italy in that third spot.
and this ranking is used to determing number of teams in CL for each nation. Top 3 nations get 4 teams, the next three nations ( 4 - 6) get 3 teams ...
