FIFA Rankings: England #3?!
 
WTF?

I realise the algorithms for calculating rankings are quite complex and involved, but surely there's something wrong when a team who haven't done any better than a 4tr final in 16 years and havent really looked inspiring at all in that period somehow managed to get ranked 3rd?!

<?!>

Really?! Maybe they are just copying the Olympic medal table.

I'd put them about 20th at best. They've just had a "golden" generation as well, who's going to replace stars such as Lampard, Gerrard, Terry, Rooney, Beckham and Owen :unsure:

World Cup 2016 England will be relying on Andy Carroll, Daniel sturridge and Micah Richards :D:lol::D

Farcical system.
