More proof that Silver hates America. USA is #34 vs. #27 in the FIFA rankings.
It would be a huge 3 points for Sonia. They'd be in driver's seat to advance
Here is the new top 20 for FIFA. 1 Spain 1564
What would be outcome be if Greece played Brazil ten times?
I think it is always stipulated that you have to ignore the WC host in these FIFA rankings. With out the qualifying points, it is very difficult to stay at the very top as the formula weights qualifying points higher than friendlies.
Looks like SAF had a talk with the officials when the lights were out.Power back on in Braga.....talking about UNITED this time
Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider)11/7/12, 7:26 PM#MLS Commissionr Don Garber and league president Mark Abbott have been helping shovel the field.Good lord this is going to be ugly :(
That game has been sold out for a while now I think.
Yep, but a few on Craigslist and stubhub at a decent price
Oh, poo. There's nothing wrong with that!
Hard to say. 7/10 maybe for Brazil? Brazil is ranked lower for a reason though. They really haven't played that well in quite some time.The only teams I would put them ahead of is England and Greece, but you could also make the argument that Belgium and France should be higher.
Huh?Brazil has won their most recent 6 games in a row, including beating Argentina. The combined score of the 6 games is 24-1.
Start and finish on the road with Mexico both early and late. Talk about getting El Shaft here. Perhaps Mexico will have qualified by the time they travel to the US?
I am more hopeful that Panama is out by the last game. We do not want to be in the position of having to get points down there if they are still alive on the last day.
Hey look, grass.
Trying to find something positive to say about the first three games. The best I have is that many of Honduras's best players are in MLS and won't be in season form in February.
In their last ten they have beaten Japan, Iraq, South Africa, China, Bosnia, Gabon, Sweden, and Argentina. In that stretch they have lost to Mexico and Argentina. 1-2 against good teams doesn't scream severely underrated to me (Sweden isn't a bad team, but they also haven't played that well). I don't care if they almost put up double digits on China.The rankings are always a bit screwy, but I don't see more than a handful of teams they should be placed above. It looks like they have some decent competition coming up so maybe their ranking will rise.
