wait, what? I surely hope your joking a few weeks ago we were 170 something in the world, was it fair then? How about England going up places in the rankings despite not actually playing a game was that fair too?

FIFA are a joke mate and the sooner they disband football can become a sport again.

FIFA rankings are an absolute joke. If you play more games you get higher rankings which is why we have been ranked among countries that have never played a decent team, never mind get a decent result against them.

3 wins out of 4, thats superb form but we have gone from 115 to 45 in the world? Switzerland ranked 4th in the world?
Spain were ranked below the team they beat in the world cup final!!

Mate, I dont know about todays list cos I aint seen it, but the last one Spain were not even number 1.

They are the reigning world and european champions, and pissed their group qualification.

That, in my book, is farcical and not at all reasonable.

To be fair they have got a system. No one will ever be happy whatever they use. In the tennis there was a time when the ladies number one had never won a grand slam. Murray is 3rd in the world having not won a grand slam. Westwood has never won an open but is number one in gold (or is it Donald). It's hard to pick a system that suits everyone.

You are right England are over placed more than likely. How the Faroes were above us ever above us is shocking but we were low because we did not win any games for ages.

How can the rankings work in any way? We finished 4th in our group and are ranked above Czech Republic and Estonia who are both in the play offs :lol:
