Incase people aren't aware, we were 117th in the world below teams like Havana, our win at Macedonia boosted us up 27 places to 90th (one above the Cape Verde Islands) and we've just beaten number 18 in the world.

Take a bow Mr Gary Speed

Beat Spain in the last world cup by all accounts - that's no bad thing.

They're a good side are the Swiss, make no mistake about that.

It's just, last night, we were better than them.

And you can't say fairer than that

Are you saying the rankings change after every competitive game? If so we could be in the top 40 next week.

If we beat Bulgaria 1-0 we would move up to 619 points which depending on other teams would put us in the top 50

That's a great link, even if we lose to Bulgaria we still up to about 70th ish. Massive improvement under Speed, we dominated England at wembley, a positive Outlook toward the next campaign, as I was all for Brian flynn. Onward and upwards for the dragons. And I think the players feel it too
