Must have jumped up sharply in the rankings, after our big win over the giants of Andorra! ;)

Brilliant news :ayatollah:

On to the first page of the rankings now on the website as well, and only 11 places behind England :thumbup:
4 points next month in the qualifiers and we could find ourselves in a great position, let's hope we can hold on to it for when the World Cup qualifying groups are drawn :ayatollah:

Excellent! Does sound a bit high, though.

The rankings are a joke , it wasn't long ago that USA were top 5 in the world .

Switzerland 10th ? Above Italy , England and Portugal

Greece and Costa Rica ranked above England ?

Colombia 3rd in the world above Spain , Brazil, holland

In fairness England are shite and Switzerland are a very good side, I'd say Switzerland are better personally even though they lost last week.

Columbia are worthy of a top 5 spot at the moment, Greece and Costa Rica are the only suspect ones there.

Apart from four sides (Ukraine, Romania, Denmark and the Czech Republic), every team above us in the rankings all competed at the World Cup.

Do they subtract two places purely by having Chris Coleman in charge?
