For statisticalpurposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matchesare awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; allYugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated toboth the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matchesFor statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitchat the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are notincluded in the overall statistics.
