    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."

    No true, we've been ranked number 1 in the AFC a couple of times now since we joined.

    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!

    Seeing that your own emotional maturity is so considerable, I will trust your judgement on this.

    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.

    Do you just read the headlines or the actual articles as well? :rolleyes:

    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.
