Another FIFA World Rankings farce

[piston broke]

Italy who have just played a defeat and a draw with 18th ranked Sweden have moved above England into 14th place.
England have just played two draws against the worlds top two ranked teams.

All this crap goes towards seedings for future competitions. What a bunch of clowns.

I blame Brexit. Bit like Burnley, nobody loves us

Not to worry,It'll all change when we win the world cup.

Considering Italy were awarded a 4th champs league spot despite being rubbish in Europe the last few years it's hardly a surprise FIFA have pushed them up the ranks.

Presumably something to do with the oldest results dropping out of the calculation? Or competitive fixtures having a greater weighting than friendlies? The system is clearly flawed but I'm pretty sure it isn't rigged (other than by Wales and their selective approach to friendlies.)

Possible top 10 place then!

That's because their clubs are doing better than Germany's clubs over the last 4 seasons plus this season (so far).
