FIFA Releases New World Rankings

[R.W.]

How on Earth are Iran the 21st best team in the World?

FIFA Rankings are rubbish. They need weighting to take account of the quality of team beaten, not just the competition it was in.

Canada moved up 5 places, for anyone interested. 4 of those 5 are owed to Dwayne DeRosario. Cuz he's bad ass. BAD ASS.

Excellent idea. Which means it'll never be implemented

i like the fifa rankings but their so dodgy

The US aren't bad, but FIFA are purposely being extra nice to them to get the game over in America so big business will get more involved in the game. I wouldn't think they were ever good enough to be 7th in the world for crying out loud. 17th maybe, but not 7th. No way.

Well done to to the others though.

Man, if only the rest of Australia took soccer/football seriously....:/

Well, atleast my dad's team (and mine aswell) England made it up by five places.

Mexico better than England, Argentina, Portugal, Italy and Germany? Iran 21st in the world? FIFA rankings are pathetic.
