Scotland have beaten France home and away recently...

But you didnt qualify, i'd agree you should be above us if you qualifyed but you didnt. But i still think the england side are one off the best in the world they just MASSIVELY underachieve

I thought mt10 was Irish?

I'm not Scottish. I'm not saying that Scotland should be above you, but maybe the should as they seem a better unit, but thats not how the rankings are worked. But to say they should be ashamed to be 1 place above Scotland is a joke, and very dissrepectful to their achievements. Achieving results England couldnt in recent times against Croatia and France.

England didn't qualify either... and our campaign ended after playing teams lower in the rankings and finishing with less points than Scotland. England may underachieve, but the rankings aren't based on reputation, they're supposed to be based on what you HAVE achieved and against whom.

Take your head out of your ar5e. :grrr:

How can you complain about being only 1 place above Scotland when we beat France home and away and only just got beaten by Italy? Scotland were in the group of death containing both the World Cup winners and runners up, oh and also a quarter finalist, England had one of the weakest qualifying groups and still blew it.

Scotland have shown recently that we are a Country to be respected again as we play as a team.

England are the laughing stock of Europe as you have the players just no team.

The FIFA ranking go on games played on grass not on paper!

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...

What so you mean ferdinands S***? Rooneys s***? Carricks S***? what about Brown and neville?

Thats the thing with SOME off you united fans you dont think before you speak.

Every united fans avoids this quiestion!! So i want an answer for it why do united fans sing that boy ronaldo makes England look S***? When the majority of the england team is from united? Please, please answer im dying for an answer to that quiestion :blink:

i think fine, problem is some city fans cant hide their bitterness!

i meant for all the good players england have, england are still s**t.. i will make sure to spell it out for you in future
