that's kinda sad that the USA is ranked 16th in the world out of 196 countries, when all 195 of the other countries LOVE soccer so much more than we do, people here (in so. cal at least) root for mexico more than they do the USA (me being one of them,lol) . Is the United States even really that good ? i know we tied the italy the world champs but....i always get the impression the the US sux floppy donkey sausage.
-

Yeah it's hilarious, especially when Norway finished 2nd in their group behind Italy, but in front of Scotland. :D
And LMAO @ Honduras, Uzbekistan, Togo, Iran, Bosnia being in front of Norway as well. (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/lachen/laughing-smiley-014.gif)

(http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/lachen/laughing-smiley-004.gif) @ the bold part.
Underlined part: That is correct sir, the FIFA ranking in general is considered as a hilarious joke, due to the best teams in Europe meeting eachother and necessarily knocking eachother out in the qualis, while teams in America meets countries like Ecuador, Canada, Cuba, Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago, El Salvador, Honduras, Bolivia, Paraguay, Colombia, Barbados, Jamaica, Puero Rico, Haiti, etc., most of them virtually nobodies in Football (except Argentina, Brazil & Mexico), but they climb the rankings and some of them joins the World Cup because they only meet fellow nobodies in the qualis, and then come to the World Cup and get knocked out by European teams.

^^Dude, at least admit that the US is 10X better in soccer than they were 10-15 years ago and are making fast progression...
-
^^ No doubt, they're coming up, just not as fast as the Americans liked to think before the world cup. ;D
-
Canada went up 29 spots to 54 :o
-
6 8)

Canada went up 29 spots to 54 :o
our best players change citizenship >:(
:grumpy: Hargreaves
:grumpy: and now Jonathan De Guzman is trying to get Dutch citizenship
-
I hate Whoregreaves
But hopefully kids from the under 18 team Canada that finished 3rd in the Under 18 WC are developing nicely. And we have the MLS MVP; De Rosorio, this guys good to0. Hargreave would've been nice in a defensive midfield role though :'(
-
lol at winning the World Cup and still being ranked #2.
-
52nd? How embarrasing :-[
-
lol at winning the World Cup and still being ranked #2.
it's still good tho.
they can't just change the rankings to immediately accomodate every success.
otherwise 2 years ago greece would have been #1.
it's based on previous tournaments as well.

Not really, Greece won the Euro's and they probably took a considerable jump.
Fact is, whoever wins the WC, at that moment, are the best nation in the world. and these rankings were published days after.
I understand previous comes into it, but I think the whole FIFA ranking system is garbage.
ie: Nigeria 11th, and they failed to qualify for the WC..

Canada went up 29 spots to 54 :o
we're fuckin ahead of Korea lol!

I mean i think this topic is bullshit. But it ain't Seer's fault (he had to post the list, cause it's an official one, and it's a fact to be discussed, i ain't bitching about it), but FIFA's fault, cause it's pathetic the way they do this list.

Lol no. Jome posted this NOT Seer ;D
-
OH, LOL. Sorry, Jome. I've seen the stars and i made the mistake. Sorry Jome. ;D

i think its sad to find my south african team ranked so low in the 70's considering theyre gonna be hosting the next world cup. we drastically need to improve.
-
I still don't see how USA is ranked Higher than Mexico. This shit is rigged and is only used for getting people phsyched up. If the US was ranked like 30th(which IMO should be) I think no one in the US would watch the World Cup

They're on the same level...It's all a matter of opinion, not that much of a difference like you make it out to be.
-
FIFA rankings....u gotta laugh!!!!

:loco:
-
It's not a matter of opinion. Mexico is better than the U.S right now.
-
Is Mexico really that much better? I don't follow soccer, I just know that USA is on an uprise and heard that they're in contention with Mexico for who the better team is...Might not be true, have Mexico and USA played recently?
-
In the 2002 World Cup USA beat Mexico, that's what gave the feeling that US is coming up on their level, but they haven't been really doing anything vs Mexico these past 4 years(only 1 Victory on U.S Turf) During the World Cup qualifiers, Mexico would just experiment vs all the teams including the U.S.
-
Brazil still #1
