I think the US gets more points out of a 4-0 victory over Honduras in a friendly match than England will get out of a 1-0 victory over France in an official qualification match; the system is really screwy, either way. And the US is known to play almost double the number of matches the average European teams do... So it's not that strange that they're in the Top 10. But it has never really been a very accurate list...

That is true, the fifa world ranking system is warped and doesn't mean sh*t! Do you really believe that the USA has what it takes to deafeat the likes of England or Italy!?
