Precious stuff from Mr. Blatter: Source: The Jerusalem Post Blatter was also asked about Israel's unrealistic FIFA ranking. Despite failing to qualify for a major tournament in 38 years, the national team is currently ranked number 16 in the world, ahead of such team as Greece, Sweden and Denmark, and just two places below England. "We used to calculate the ranking with a university formula and help from experts, but then we decided to implement a similar system to the one the ATP uses," Blatter explained. "I don't know why you're complaining? You're 16th in the world. "If anybody's got a better system to rank the teams, please tell me about it."
Not 'bugger'at all, Wezza. . . . if Japan falls more places then we're #1 in ASIA for the first time !

We haven't played a strong opponent since Euro 2008 and still move up to third. Thus proving what an inane rankings systems this is!
Seriously they won't, they are emotionally imature, they don't have any team spirit, how often to you see those miserable gits smile.
Lol, I was being serious though, they just don't seem very friendly, just look at Van Persie recently, he upset Walcott and lost Gallas his captaincy and maybe even his place at Arsenal, although Gallas is a bit of a dick too.
Van Persie scored twice for Holland in the mid-week friendly so he seems to be doing perfectly all right in a Holland shirt. Perhaps you should take a closer look at the emotional maturity of Arsenal management and his Arsenal team mates.
