Standings

  1. Most importantly, make sure the score is FINAL! Don't update based on games that are still ongoing.
  2. Update the record of BOTH TEAMS, not just the winner or the team you support.
  3. Update EVERY COLUMN, not just Pts, in particular GF, GA, and GD (errors will be hard to detect).
  4. Make sure the teams are in the correct new positions (in particular, make sure teams with the same number of points are ranked correctly based on the tiebreakers of the tournament). If in any doubt, check with standings from official websites (such as FIFA.com) or reliable sources. --

Matches

The match schedule was established at a meeting in Israel on 8 January 2008. However, Greece and Latvia failed to come to an agreement on matches between themselves, and, since the match schedule was not finalised by 16 January 2008 deadline, FIFA conducted a random draw to determine the fixtures. The draw took place in Zagreb, Croatia at 16:00 CET on 30 January 2008, the eve of the XXXII Ordinary UEFA Congress.
