The European international break continued for most teams but there was qualifying in Asia for the Asian Cup and in CONCACAF for the Gold Cup. Honduras and Costa Rica make significant moves in the top 30. Syria, Uzbekistan and Bahrain are the big Asian winners. The Philippines go shooting up the rankings due to results lost from January '07. They didn't play again until May 2008.
Northern Cyprus drop out of the rankings, having not played for 2 years. The bottom 2 teams, Sao Tome & Principe and Sint Maarten also haven't played in the last 2 years but are still listed as they are members of FIFA and CONCACAF, respectively.
February sees World Cup qualifying resume, though most European teams are skipping this round of games to play friendlies instead, including #1 ranked Spain taking on England.
