Initially created in 2000 as a rankings system for top-flight European soccer clubs, Footballrank.com evolved to encompass soccer news, standings, and statistics as well. At the time, the rankings system used was the most comprehensive, sophisticated soccer club rankings system on the web. On the backend, a MySQL database and PHP data entry allowed simple updates and computed new rankings realtime upon submission of scores.

I have deactivated the site, but a sample version is available.
