    Forget all those FIFA rankings, where one wee diddy team beats another wee diddy team in a wee diddy competition and goes to 4th in the World.

    Forget the people who watch soccer every 4 years and spout pish like "Africa pwns teh Europe teams". Or "Australia pwns and we woz robbed by a racist ref". Or "Argentina are the only team that can play football goodly"

    Forget it all, it's down to result. The two finalists in the World Cup - European. The 4 semi-finalists - European. The top 6 in the World - European. Fact

    A non-european team has never won the European Championships.












    I deserve a spank with that, a spank with a cricket bat. Oh dear, I've just cum.

    Everyone knows the FIFA Rankings dont mean much...

    USA ranked.... 5th (and thats down one..)

    England ranked.... 10th

    Germany ranked..... 19th



    I mean whats that all about?

    Is it in reverse order or something?


    They may have Scotland right at 59 though...

    I heard that FIFA would change the rankings after this World Cup ? Something about the level of competition you play . Which makes sense I guess ,the Yanks are not a top level team for example but ranked very high .

    Darn wish I could find the link , been this way since 1930 or some what ,so nice to see a change that reflects the world rankings .

    Damn good idea. The US team sucked ass and should have never been ranked so high.

    Strength of schedule should be an important factor in a ranking, ffs.
