Heeeeey, Germany now 19th. Here is the new listing:
1 Brazil
2 Czech Republic
3 Netherlands
4 USA
5 Spain
6 Mexico
7 France
8 Portugal
8 Argentina
10 England
11 Denmark
12 Nigeria
13 Turkey
14 Italy
15 Cameroon
16 Sweden
17 Japan
18 Egypt
19 Greece
19 Germany
The US lucked out and despite the butt kicking in Germany, they moved up to place number 4 since Argentina lost against Croatia and therefore got knocked down a few ranks.
By the time the WC starts, the US will be ranked 1rst and Brazil 10th.:D
What does it all mean: If anything at all, it means that the FIFA ranking is absolutely worthless !!! But what else is new....:p

Not only worthless, but comical. The USA 4th. Why don't these guys who make up this thing-go to Vegas & get the odds? They'd see the real ratings.

Keep in mind that in the last 2 years, USA and Mexico have had 18 WC qualifiers. Germany has had ZERO! It's a serious flaw in the formula, but they had to pick something!
