Question regarding Romania's ranking

Perhaps there is a very simple explication, but I find it strange that Romania is behind Russia in the country ranking for 2007 but ahead in the team ranking. Which is the accurate ranking in this case?

Vlad, it has happened due to the UEFA's strange system of rounding for team rankings: apparently, they round down a team coefficient to 0,0005, then sum coefficients for 5 years and then round down to 0,001. Concerning country ranking, the situation is simpler: they round it down straight to 0,001. The difference in rounding sometimes leads to amusing consequences :-) Moreover, these coefficients are used for different purposes, so there is no contradiction here

Thanks Ase, I wasn't aware of the different methods used by UEFA.
