England
 
Just read on the Beeb that Englands football 'heroes' have risen to the third place in the world FIFA rankings. Our highest ever position!

How the hell did that happen?

We arent even in the top five in Europe!

Uruguay dropped a place because ranking points earned last summer (ie 2011) are now more than twelve months old, so they are subtracted from the calculation......... and Brazil (who as WC hosts next time are only playing friendlies which carry less weight) drop two places to 13th.

So there you have it - England are TEN places higher than Brazil. Make a note of the date............ :ohmy:

The rankings are made up by a mad drunk who lives in Sepp Blatters garden shed.
