This is where the rubber meets the road in terms of wage/spending gap to EPL. Maybe skill level is close but they're bigger, stronger, quicker in...
FIFA rankings determine seeds. In 2006, Italy's big rival in qualification was Norway, because Italy was seeded in the top 8 European teams. No...
It's mostly useless for the Euro Cup, but it's set up so to achieve a better FIFA rankings system. You can't game the system (like Poland were...

Well deserved. Mancini's been excellent in selection (imo) Went with the technical midfielders over the runners. Saw through Immobile pretty damn...
