How does the calculation work?
It's all about odds. In every game we check boomaker's odds. If odds for a country to win the match are very low (favorite to win), the rating will rise.
If odds for a country to win the match are very high (underdog), the rating will go down.
In contrast to traditional ELO ratings like the official FIFA World Ranking the result does not matter for the new rating, only odds. But of course the raking will be still very accruate ... and in fact even more accurate then with results, because we calculate with the probability of an exepcted win.
