Germany are higher than England yet we beat them 5 fucking 1, and theyre route to the final was a joke

uh, how is Colombia (didn't even qualify for WC) or Mexico ahead of Italy? that lists a joke.

also apart from england, brazil's route to the final was laughable. to be honest it was a final of two lucky teams, although i dont think there was one team which really deserved to win the cup be it on performences, sportsmanship or the teams they played. as for the rankings, if you beat the higher up teams you get many many points also for getting to high stages in the world cup is also worht many points, which is why USA, mexico, turkey etc are high up. argentina and columbia are still up there only on pre world cup high points i think.

That is if you ask me BOLLOCKS!

Ireland beat the USA 2-1, we beat the Danes 3-0 right before the fucking world cup, we reached the second round of the world cup like Denmark, I forget which round the USA reached. What shit though.

Columbia they didn't even qualify?!?!? I'm sure they didn't and their eighth.

Also what is it based on? latest form, amount of times won or finalists, or how well they do in their regional cups like Euro championships, Copa America? cos Germany who got in the final are low, Netherlands who have got far in just about every world cup their in are 15th, and teams like Columbia who in every world cup I've seen in have got to about the second round max.

just for your info those scores span over several years, i think at least 6 years. So stop bitching and go read the rules.

Those rankings are ******** bollocks, there's no way around it! Whoever puts Mexica in the top 10 can't possibly be in the right state of mind, WTF is Columbia doing in the top 10 also, whoever made those mathematical equations that determine the rankings must've been off their rocker...

On another note Canada should be in the top 40 at least, but we�ll take care of that when the WC qualifications start, as our football federation is too idiotic to arrange any exhibition matches in the meantime. Allez les Rouges - In Radzinski we trust.

where are the rules ive been looing for them ages

Weird.

On the one hand, it looks as though the points can't be based on world cup form because we all know that France and Argentina got their asses SPANKED in the world cup and Colombia didn't even qualify.

On the other hand, those scores can't span over several years because there's no way Germany would be at #5 or Italy would be at #10 ... Italy have been one of the best teams in Europe over that period ... finalists in Euro 2000 and all that ... and I certainly don't recall them losing to Spain or Germany or England recently either ... as for Germany, apart from their easy run at the WC, they have had a really crap team for the last few years, they got absolutely walloped by England.

Can someone post a link to those rules?
