Okay, Nigeria & Cameroon didn't qualify, yet are ranked ranked 11 & 12th, Uruguay 14th with WC countries such as Sweden (22), Poland (30), Australia (33, and they qualified AGAINST Uruguay), Korea (57 !!, crazy). Why did Canada jump by 29 spots to #54, I'm Canadian and they never win.England is ranked ahead of both Portugal and Germany?

Spain, which so gloriously lost in the WC, as well.
And worldsoccer power Guinea is ranked 24th, ahead of Euro Champ Greece (32), Turkey (27) and Japan.
Now, be honest, if Turkey or Norway (52 !) were to play against Guinea, which team do you think would win ?

FIFA's ranking is a BIG joke!
They need to change their criteria of selection.
I agree 100% with you about your comments!

Its a great question. i in my opinion imagine that its isn't. i have considered communities lose factors and flow down the score even as they have been inactive. Its no longer something more desirable than only a difficult handbook to measuring the aggressive strengths of communities. If one became think to take the ratings at face fee, then a worst placed team ought to continuously lose hostile to a extra constructive ranked team; yet for sure all of us recognize that, that is no longer continuously the case.

All I know is that I love Portugal and that England should not be ranked ahead of them!
