It's all based on performances particularly who you beat.

Spain beat Russia, Germany etc and end up on top.

Holland had 3 big wins with two against former high rollers, France and Italy. They obviously jump up a lot.

England have played no games in June so we could only slip in the world rankings.

and have SCOTLAND WON THE WORLD CUP THEN??lol

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.

England are now ranked 15th in the fifa rankings and are 1 place above scotland!

No this-respect ment to scotland in anyway but the difference in the quality between the english and scotish players is massive.

If i was an england international I'd be ashamed off myself :angry:

the rankings go by how well the team performs or at least it should...

for all englands players they are still s**t...
