    i realy dont get this?

    The three games we have played scince the world cup have all been of poor quality. We have drawn against portugal in a pointless friendly.
    Scraped a victory against slovenia ranked 34th and drew against macedonia ranked 85th. Why the hell did we climb 3 places. FIFA realy need to explain how they compile these rankings.

    bulgaria must be no.1 because yana was born there

    vietnam and usa should be higher because kelly is vietnamese-american

    how come albania is in such a low place while they have lara?

    china must be in top 30 because chunfang is chinese

    conclusion: fifa ranking is a crap and you are crap too.

    Fifa Ranking as of oct 23

    http://www.fifa.com/rank/index_E.html

    England keep jumping up higher and higher but have they really been performing that well? I havn't been able to watch much friendlies so i don't what they have been doing,but most people here have been saying england was playing poorly,did they get out of the rut finally and start performing as good as they can? in other words did they finally dump Seaman ;) j/k

    These rankings are done over an extended period of time (8 years?) and as England have lost ONE competitive game in something like the last 13 and some of the poorer results from yesteryear are no longer accounted for, England's ranking has climbed.

    Whether or not one competitive loss in a couple of years means England's not been 'performing well', I'll leave up to the 'experts' on these boards.

    It's a ridiculous system that doesn't make any sense.
    If it is over eight years as I've heard, that's far too long a time period to judge these things.

    Still, any excuse to get the knives out eh?
