new fifa rankings...england up to 4th

[PrideOfTheMidlands]

The rankings are based on results, not opinion.

We are unbeaten under Roy Hodgson.

Italy and Portugal have caught up with us.

We only moved up 2 places while Italy moved up 6 places and Portugal moved up 5 places.

The reason why Brazil are so low is because they have already qualified for the 2014 World Cup.

This means that they can't get any points from competitive games, only friendlies.

Spain...class
Germany....could be class
Argentina....failed again and again recently
Brazil....ditto
Urguay...champions of south America.,.world cup finalists
Holland....world cup finalists, crap at euros
Italy...shocking at last world cup....good at euros

England....quarter finals again and again.

Consistency basically

He'll mean in 90 minutes, which is weighted heavier than losing by penalties

As said, ranking come from results, our results are actually very good.

Do you realy believe what you are saying

Statistics lie everyone knows that.

England aren't even the 4th best team in Europe , let alone the world.

Just another example of how dumb FIFA are , except when it comes to creaming off the profits into their own pockets.

As much as I love statistics, any stat can be skewed to make one team look better than the other.

Case and point:

At the 2010 WC, England lost the same amount of games as Spain - one.

If we'd got past Italy on pens, then scraped another 0-0 against the Jormans and went through on pens again, and done the same to the Spanish in the final to secure our first trophy in 46 years, would you still be moaning because we didn't play pretty football?
