Prediction anyone?

I think Canada will drop one place to 10th with Japan going to 9th. Germany and Brazil will exchange spots. China will move ahead of Australia.

Japan over Canada is plausible. Brazil could well pass Sweden, but no way they will make up a 92-point gap with Germany. China has a chance of passing Italy, but Australia looks out of reach.

I still don't understand the good rankings of France and Denmark.

Pretty good prognostications all round I'd say.

Colombia are women's U17 South American champs but their full women's team is unranked. Should be interesting to see how that plays out in a few years.

Why did Australia drop so much? Everything else look as expected. China, Japan and Brazil made nice gains. Notice Korea DPR gained a spot while decresing in points.
