I know things might change after last nights defeat but does anyone one else think they are over hyped and very much over ranked at 2nd.Maybe the USA will take their position after last weeks games.
I have also seen mentioned that we could move to 11th which I think is a bit over the top for us.
FIFA World Rankings what a mine field.

When the rankings change we will only be a few places apart. They will drop to about 7 or 8

They've got class throughout their squad. The problem for them seems to be, they don't have a plan b. Maybe a better manager would get more out of that team. They seemed to run out of ideas last night, which shouldn't really happen with the players they have. They are capable of winning a major tournament. They remind me of spain, before they went on to dominate international football. Great players but not much direction. If they get a system that suits them, then they will go on to win a euro championship or even a world cup IMO. Defo a true top 10 team as they are now.....capable of being a true top 2 team

I agree with most of what you say but to me they lack that killer instinct which a top 5 team in the world has,yes they can beat any team in the world on their day but as you say when things go against them there is no plan b and they struggle.
Don't get me wrong I think they are a top team and not the 2nd best in the world.
Still a huge scalp for us and loved every moment!!
