This tends to support claims about chelsea having the strongest squad in
the EPL. I make it 4 England, 2 Ivory Coast, 1 Germany, 1 Brazil, 2
France, 1 ghana , 1 Nigeria, 1 Serbia, and 3 Portugal. If Russia had
qualified, or Bosingwa had been healthy it might have been more.

This is a bit of a surprise to me. 3 England, 2 Spain, 2 Argentina, 2
Netherlands, 1 Slovakia, 1 Greece, 1 Denmark.... is that right ?

A number of key players from non-qualified teams like Wales, Scotland,
Ireland, and Bulgaria.

It's actually pretty straightforward: assign to each team their UEFA
coefficient: Barcelona 136, ManU 125, etc.

Issues with this:
1) Any team that doesn't have a coefficient gets its country's
coefficient (so, for example, West Ham = England = 16.371. But what
about teams in lower leagues?). Same number, or same number divided by
2?

2) What coefficients to assign to non-european teams? My hunch:
Brazilian teams ~ Russia/Portugal. Argentinian teams ~ Netherlands/
Turkey; Everything else in SA+Mexico+J-League+K-League + Egypt:
Austria/Bulgaria; Everything else: Hungary/Georgia

In any case, I'm about a third of the way there, it will be
interesting to see what comes out. I suspect that Brazil and Spain
will advance substantially in the rankings.
