I think they use an outdated formula: Rn = Ro + K × (W - We) where,

Rn is the new rating, Ro is the old (from pre-match) rating.

K is the weight constant for the tournament played. 60 for World Cup finals; 50 for continental championship finals and major intercontinental tournaments; 40 for World Cup and continental qualifiers and major tournaments;
30 for all other tournaments; 20 for friendly matches.

K is then adjusted for goal difference in the game. It is increased by half if a game is won by two goals, by 3/4 if a game is won by three goals, and by 3/4 + (N-3)/8 if the game is won by four or more goals, where N is the goal difference.

W is the result of the game (1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw, and 0 for a loss).

We is the expected result (win expectancy it is called) which you get from a chart of these or the following formula: We = 1 / (10(dr/400) + 1)
dr equals the difference in ratings plus 100 points for a team playing at home.


Get it? ;)

Shame to see Brazil go down although I must admit we deserve it. Argentina will probably win the World Cup and soon they will top the world rankings!
