that ranking is absolutely rubbish, how can USA & MEXICO ranked higher that ENGLAND, ITALY or NETHERLANDS. even GERMANY is now ranked 19. FIFA should changed the system immediately.

USA ranked #5.
That doesn't sound right. But the system always throws in some odd results.
Brazil, England, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Spain... 6 better teams, and still counting.

I think that ranking is talking about how the rich American are?
nothing has to do with football or maybe this ranking start from the worst team in FIFA 2006 or world. yes that is troue USA is #5 worst team in the FIFA 2006 or in the world

Rankings are rankings. I remember all last year the Pittsburgh Steelers were rank 7th or higher and look they won the Superbowl.
I believe Czech Republic was rank 2nd and look they didn't advance either. Brazil rank 1st is still alive, Holland rank 3rd still alive, and Mexico rank 4th is still alive. I wouldn't be surprised if non of this teams make it to the finals.
It's all about who is play good and have momentum.

FIFA ranking is not objective. Sometime is true, but in another time is wrong i think. We can not believe for FIFA ranking, because when we refer to ranking, one team cannot show the real ranking in FIFA List when they play on the field.

Fifa ranking is mostly based on statistics how well national team
performes during national teams games. This means that Usa playing mostly teams like Barbados , TnT, Mexico and Canada.
Italy plays mostly with European teams ( Germany, England etc etc ) Therefore it is easier to by ranked high in your opponent is weak.

Politics. There is no way that America should be ranked 5th.
