Can't believe England have gone up after their dismal Euro showing. Can anyone explain?

For what it is worth Scotland are now 46th. Though that should fall when Australia hump us next week.

Fifa world rankings - top 201. Spain 2. Germany 3. England 4. Uruguay 5. Portugal 6. Italy 7. Argentina 8. Netherlands 9. Croatia 10. Denmark 11. Russia 12. Greece 13. Brazil 14. France 15. Chile 16. Ivory Coast 17. Sweden 18. Mexico 19. Czech Republic 20. Ecuador
Selected others: 26. Republic of Ireland 37. Wales 46. Scotland 101. Northern Ireland

Wow - never thought I'd see the day Brazil were outside the top 10 - have they been out there long (I don't pay much attention to these rankings).

Lost on me how England are in the top 3 :confused:

Also, Mexico in the top 20?!

England will have moved up as they were unbeaten in the euros.

Brazil dropped out of the top ten in July for the first ever time.

Mexico usually look good in the rankings as they primarily play CONCAF matches

I really don't pay attention to international football full stop. It's basically a handful of matches every year played by players who barely know each other, shoehorned together through nationality. Apart from maybe the top 8 or 9 teams, the quality is usually pretty awful and the qualification campaigns for major tournaments are total murder. Highest level? Uzbekistan Vs. Burkina Faso? – No thanks. On the rare occasion a Hibs player is in the national squad all I care about is whether he's going to get injured.

I much prefer the day to day soap opera that is Hibernian Football Club. It’s an all year round show and keeps you guessing right until the end of the season.

:tee hee:

I'll take 20/1 that they dont win it.

Let me know what my max stake is.

The european teams are higher at the moment sure to the euros bring this 21st and the 'americas' being last year.

Brazil will stay low because they dont have any world cup qualifiers either.

Well done to the Fife big head for steering is to us #101. Levein should be put in room 101 and never get out.

Sorry OP is a bit misleading, NI are 101 we are 46. Sure if we stick with him we will get there though.
