I suppose england, in the group stages of a world cup, is the benchmark for quality.

I would always expect England to be in the top six or seven. But above Brazil? I think not
Its completely laughable.
Like the majority of the things FIFA do.

Interesting enough England have never been top 3 on the rankings, while Norway have been 2nd placed twice 8)
What a load of bollocks.
The international ranking system is rubbish.
Ireland once climbed 8 places without playing a game.

They've had to be over the years, to relegate such excellent English players to your team.

31st but its irrelevant really coz im not laughing at the ranking based on my nationallity....we dont try to justify how brilliant we are in the run up to every major tournament (because we're not in many of them) But i do find these rankings funny as it can give the press a head start on bigging england up for euro 2012 and then wondering where it all went wrong when they go out on penalties in the 2nd round/quarter finals. Its not a country against country thing that makes me find it funny, tbh england are always one of the countries i wish well in the major tournaments as we're so familiar with all of the players and generally theres a few liverpool players involved as well.
This time round I reckon the boys at FIFA are trying to soften the blow of not getting the world cup with a few extra ranking points 😉

For me, the Soccer Power Index is a better barometer of win/loss probabilities.

I don't know what complex formulae they use to calculate this but I'd suggest putting them in the bin. England are shit.
