If we move into the top 50 we lucky - last months' ranking included the 2 Bahrain games if I am not mistaken, and we haven't played any games since then. If we do move up it would be because others moved down.

If we continue to be inactive we will surely slip in rankings. One disadvantage of not having a home based team ready to play is an inability to keep your rankings. Anyway rankings are not necesssarily the utmost priority, but ignoring them has consequences too such as 1. congtracts for players in Europe.
2. Your bargaining position for games and match fees against other teams. Teams get more points for beating higher ranked teams. I really wish we had a respectable team based at home so as to avoid turning down these friendlies.

Brazil maintained the top spot it has held since July 2002, a month after it won its record fifth World Cup. The next three teams also were unchanged - Czech Republic, Netherlands and Argentina. France shared fifth with Spain.

Mexico, which was tied for fifth last month, dropped into a tie for seventh with the U.S. England remained ninth, ahead of Portugal.

The next 10 places were almost the same: Turkey was No. 11, followed by Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, Greece, Germany, Uruguay, Iran and Croatia. Only Germany changed places, dropping to 17th from a tie for 16th.

Among teams in the top 20, only Turkey, Denmark, European champion Greece and Uruguay failed to qualify for the 32-nation World Cup, which begins in June 9 in Germany.

out of the whole top 20, de only teams i could see the US beating right now is Mexico (at home), Iran, and maybe Japan and Greece. but a ranking is better than no ranking.

Agreed.... the US is ah big side. They might not be the prettiest team to watch .... but the do the basics right and get the jog done. The ranking totallu justified as of lately.

trinidre · « **Reply #179 on:** January 18, 2006, 02:57:04 PM »

the fifa rankings is not justified and even though i agree the us is ah good side and they getting better they are not ranked 7 in the world..........one of the reasons they rank so high is because of the quality of their opposition.......the US beating everybody in concacaf but does not do well against the big European teams which they do not play that regularly.

Poll

Should teams ranking go up only if they beat a team higher in ranking?
