So England should be higher based on something they won 40 years ago? |

Exactly but the points system only runs for about the last 2 years, maybe it's three but there is no relevance to 40 odd years ago. Booby Moore and Alan Ball are dead, all the others are pensioners now, how is that team relevant to our current ranking? |

recent performances, lost to Russia away, Croatia at home and away, drew with some nobodies. To climb the rankings you need to both play and beat teams above you. I think you'll find scotland have decent results against Italy and Spain in recent years. |

Scotland arent above you :rolleyes: Look who England have played and beaten and tell me why they have a god given right to be higher than they are???? Beat TnT Beat USA Lost to France Beat Swiss Beat Austria Lost Germany All in friendlies. In the quals they lost to Croatia twice and Russia. The teams you have beaten are nobodies. So look at the facts and get a grip. |
