The latest FIFA world rankings have just been announced.
■1 Brazil (Naturally)
■2 France (Yep)
■3 Spain (okay)
■4 Germany (Yeah)
■5 Argentina (of course)
■6 Mexico (I suppose so)
■7 Turkey (Mmmmmm)
■8 United States (Yeah - no wait a minute, that can't be right can it?)
■9 England
■10 Italy
USA ranked above England at football, did I fall asleep for 20 years or sumfink? Have I entered the Twilight Zone or a parallel universe? Has the whole world gone completely mad? [img]smile.gif[/img] We invented the bloody game in it's present form, why didn't we take a leaf out of the Americans book and make it a world championship that no other country can enter?
Reality is returned when I notice that languishing in 43rd place just below Trinidad and Tobago are the mighty Australians. And who is that in 63rd spot below such giants of the game as Ghana and Angola. No, it can't be, surely not, do my eyes deceive me - it is!, it's Scotland!
