FIFA World Rankings Update, November.

these rankings are crap

New Zealand are like 119th

We would fucking own like 30 of the teams in front of us

WTF is Gabon, it sounds like something you'd see at the fucking zoo....

"Mummy, can we go and see the baby Gabon."

Sounds a bit racist, but then again that's typical of Australians, so it's no surprise coming from you.

Well they could possibly rebound when they host the Confederations Cup in 2013 but everything is going downhill until then.

I wonder if you would still use those ill fated words if you knew the country was in Africa.

I beat New Zealand would have a tough time against Gabon. They almost qualified to the 2010 World Cup instead of Cameroon. That group included Togo and Morocco as well. In the 2010 African Cup, they were involved in a three way tie at the top of the table with Cameroon and Zambia. That group also included Tunisia. They are not a pushover team. They are hosting the 2012 African Cup of Nations as well.

So squad strength is based on how many players Chip can identify?

I don't know any New Zealand players. I guess your team is shit.

Yes that is how squad strength is identified

Also this time last year we were like 47th, now we are 119th

basically we've moved down around 70 spots.....

WTF

100% serious, as a nation, you Australians are right twats when it comes to race.

Because you don't play any decent teams in competitive games.

IMO Asia and Oceania should just merge for WCQ. Would be much fairer.

None of our European players want to play for us unless its the World Cup

We've played Mexico, Australia, Paraguay twice and China since the World Cup....

Also nobody wants to play us because they are all caught up in there Continent Qualifying and Tournaments

Are you arguing for or against my point, or neither?

Fixed.

Parker.

You said we haven't played any good teams

I was telling you we have

"in competitive games"

SBSP wrote:"in competitive games"

every game is competitive in my eyes....

you go in a game to win, which means it is competitive regardless of what is on offer

Don't be stupid. I meant competitive according to the rankings formula: World Cup qualifiers.

their GK Ovono, Ecuele Manga, Aubameyang and Cousin are quite well known tbh.

you picked a bad example with Gabon, they are a good team as ahly explained

Parker.

Parker is immense, can't deny it. MOTM against Spain, and has not lost a game he has played in since he signed for Tottenham. Parker is the best defensive midfielder we have.

We are 21st

You're Irish?

No, he is fucking Japanese.

But Japan are 19th.

Glen should have gotten MOTM. And he would be a better DM than Parker.
